damn, nice keychains... :p

I had that same exact AMG keychain for my old w202, and it broke in less than a few months. ALL my MB keychains have broke, they're all just relatively expensive POS... (even though I'm using the logo ball keychain that always comes loose right now!)

check out the links I posted above. autopia.org/forums have a ton of great info on detailing.

here are some pictures of my car after using klasse AIO and pinnicle souveran

I usually go through about 6 microfiber towels when detailing. 2 waffle weave to dry, 2 sonus wunder buffing towels for polishing, and 2 Concours Buffing towels for the souveran

I KOMPRZ

DYamn....that thing is like a mirror. NICE

Everythingzen Nice work...nice pictures...

Okay back to the topic....I just debadged my kompressor badge but know what..those sticky glue doesnt come off. I tried rubbing using my hands but theres no used and my hands are hurting like hell...what can i do instead of using "goof off"?

Everythingzen

I would try one of these products in this order of preference:

3M Adhesive remover pep boys should have this
A clearcoat safe bug and tar remover you can find this everywhere
rubbing alcohol followed by waxing should work but its not the best choice....

IMHO goo gone is bad for your clearcoat.

I'm not sure if anyone mentioned this yet, but you can take a hair dryer and hold it on the letter for a long time. That'll help it come off somewhat. How old is your car? Someone debadged the 320 from my car a really long time ago. I tried taking off the CLK that's been on for the last 7 years and the same thing happened as with your Kompressor. I used the hairdryer and goo gone to remove the crap...but even though all of it was gone, there was still an outline on the paint. Hopefully that doesn't happen to you!! It wasn't bad from far away, but it was so noticeable standing behind the car that I had to rebadge the CLK.

midget fidger thanks for the help. The badge has been on my car for a month+1/2. After hours of rubbing, those nasty sticky glue is finally gone. My hands are red,dry and is like burning. But it was finally done

midget fidger

oww! yeah, def a good idea getting rid of it while the car's still new. your hands would burn x2 if it was any older haha. a shame i never got the opportunity to do that :-D maybe some day when i get one new!

3M Adhesive remover is the best choice for a job like this. Just wax the area after you use it.

thanks! the AMG one i got yesterday, $15. for $15 i could replace it if it brakes but i dont think it will. The gold one i also got yesterday from my dealer for free, it has their service dept. phone number etched on the back.
the other ones i bought off ebay for very cheap and those two keys i paid big for

i know you guys debadge the car because you like the clean look. but suppose you got a C55 AMG would you debadge it for that clean look ?

nlpamg

some people do. I've seen debadged CL55's and E55's, and I'm 100% sure that they were the real deal AMG's. some people just want sleepers...

Everythingzen

thanks for the kind words..... i'm still trying to convince my wife to debadge the car. The looks of the emblems dont really bother me but its a pain to wax around them.

ctC230K

I was considering rebadging mine as a C240 after I finish modding it. that would surprise the shiat out of people hahahah :v
I took some pictures of my car in Manhattan yesterday with the mirror concept in mind, i'll post em later.

HakkinenL

In my country, the 1.8 litre M271 engine has 3 models : C180K, C200K & C230K.
Before I got my C230K, I almost want to rebadge it as C180K (143hp).
Like you said, that would surprise the shiat out of those people who try to bully me

mick1

not really because your amg body kit, 17 inch wheels will give you away to any mb enthusiast because we all know a C240 doesn't look like that

ctC230K

hehe.. plus my soon to be ASA ST4 chrome rims and C55 spoiler and roof spoiler.

hmm maybe my paint is not borked after all>????

ctC230K

i love NYC and especially SoHo, always lots of nice cars there

vraa

I like debadged cars.

ctC230K

by the way, anyone with a C230K SS take it to any city and drive in 1st gear at 5500 rpm at about 25 mph and watch the heads spin around to see the v12 exotic!!!! LOLOL

vraa

They aren't lookin' for the V12, they are looking for the idiot causing the noise :p
