Faded Dealer Logo..

Upon making waxing and making love to my new RL I noticed something horrible...

"WINCHESTER VA SATURN"

Is faded into the fucking black paint on the trunk below the ION and redline logo. If your not looking for it, you wont see it. I know it's there so i'll always fucking see it. Also at certain times of the day it glows like an annoying faded UFO. Waxing the car (and especially that spot) DID help, but it's still there. Other than repainting the trunk or getting a lame-o sticker of some kind to cover it up, is there anything I can do? My wife suggested trying some other possible compounds (yes, she was a mechanic at a speed shop for a few years, I find it pretty hot.) Any suggestions would be great!

Thanks!

Use a light cutting compound, then polish and re-wax.

bingo! use a wheel(buffer) too if you can, it will dig in better. Lightest cut pad possible if you do the wheel, can swirl up a black car pretty easy.. If you don't have a wheel swing by a reputable detail shop(most dealerships can help you out) should only take them 2 minutes
