That looks awesome Truckin.. When I de badged mine it was like a new truck.. I love the look of the truck when theres no badges and the whole side just looks slick.. What did you use to take it off?

I used one of the eraser wheels and a plastic scraper to get most of it off. I need to go back and take a buffer to a few of the areas, I was looking at it this morning and you can still see a little haze where the lettering was. I wanted to just keep the RAM on the sides but then being the smart person that I am, I relized that they are not put on in the same place on both sides. It would've looked nice on the drivers side but I would have to move the lettering on the passenger side, whatever though Im glad I took everything off, it makes it look really slick.

Yeah its not to noticable though. I was buffing them out right after I did them and those spots you dont even notice but the spots I skipped (where the RAM lettering was) I forgot to go back over and just decided to wash the whole thing instead hoping that it would take care of the problem. But it will only take a few minutes to do when I get home tonight so Im not to concerned about it.

I've been using this bottle of polish that I got from one of the car shows I went to a while back and a Mother's Powerball and it works like a charm. I'll have to look at the bottle for the name when I get home but they have one for paint and one for aluminum wheels that makes the shine like chrome. I just wish I didn't get lazy at the last moment and skipped the buffing before I washed it.
