The rubbery BRP emblem on my top trunk is fogged over, like the prior owner used some solvent or something.
Before I call up chemical guys, do any detailers know the correct way to restore the shine on this? I know many ways to not make it any better, lol.
I have a headlight restoration kit with some buffing compund, but headlights are much harder than this material, so I am afraid to try that.
Follow up: is the original emblem glossy on the 2019 RTLs? Maybe it's supposed to be matte. If so, it looks bad, as everything else back there is glossy.

This. See how foggy/clouded it appears?
I would replace it with a new decal/emblem from Lamonster. They have a number of options. The emblem will com off with a little pulling and peeling. clean up some surface with alcohol and then attach a new one. I do not have a picture but I did the frunk and trunk.
You can replace them with a custom emblem.
I had a custom one just recently made by Laurie at Ironside Customshop

She does some wonderful work.
My lovely sweetheart had this made for me several years ago. The claddagh was made by Sue Hopper and it lights up!

I found a round Punisher Skull emblem on Amazon and stuck it over mine. Might not be for everybody, but it works for me.
If that fades out eventually, I will just scrape it off and stick a new one on. Pretty sure what I paid for the Punisher emblem was not as much as what a new BRP emblem would sell for.
Looks about like this one. EBAy and other places got them too. All you need to know is the size.
This worked for mine.
The OEM emblem is $14.99.Quote:
