de-badge
borrow your mothers or sisters hair dryer heat the badge going across it. then simply peel it away from one side. if not use a credit card. then use a polish or turps to clear the rest of the glue

if your boot is faded i wouldnt take the badges off as it will stick out like a fooker
that imo anyway

T-cut is t-cut, it isn't colour specific. Use the t-cut then polish it to protect the paintwork.
Probably more you can do, I'm no expert though.

You've seen the pics of mine
I just used:
Carplan black trim wax
as for the paint:
Carplan Colorfast T-cut (red)
But at the end of the day, my car seems to have been well looked after even before I had it. theres a slight fade from one side after removing the doorstrips, after a few T-cuts the rear badge fades have gone, but they were minor anyway!

mine was slightly out, but as I said in my previous posts, hard work and effort will sort it. Just takes time, I did mine over a few months!
