Default Help Needed ASAP!

So i went a head and decided to debadge my fenders. No problem it wasn't all that difficult using go-gone. Problem is some of the clear seems to be flaking off and it is dirty as hell. The fenders hap been repainted and believe thats why i am having this issue. Any suggestions of cleaners at this point? I have some degreaser to try but thought i should ask first.

PS sorry for the crappy cell pictures but you work with what you got!

you are right- i cant tell what i am seeing...

if its clear removed, then you need to fix the clear.

dont use the degreaser... thats about all i can conclude at this point-

maybe the body shop went cheap and didnt remove the badges before repainting, instead they just covered them up.

The whole letter would be blocked out then, not just the surrounding part.

I think it just needs a good clay, and maybe even a polish... Heard alot of people had to do that after removing their badges.

smething is flaking off and i would have to assume its the clear cause what else could it be? What is a reasonable charge to have something like this fixed?
