I removed the honda badge from the side of my car with hot water and a bit of elbow grease.
Cleaned my whole car and have noticed that where the badge was is a ring where there is not lacker.
Whats the best thing to do???

It's highly possible that an adjacent panel has been re-painted and the colour has been blown into the surrounding panels, then all of them were lacquered.
A "certain" bodyshop forgot to scotch/key the door on my old MR2, before covering the whole panel in fresh lacquer - a couple of years later when I had the bonnet resprayed, masking tape pulled the top layer of lacquer clean off!

Carter your are spot on, i took the car to priory honda, the guy there had a good look and yes there was some lacker added.
i picked holes in the car before i picked it up, and asked for a couple of nigley bit to be sorted out. The job its self (according to Priory) is very good, and for the sake of a couple of minutes to move the badges there wouldnt have been a problem.
but they didnt, so as soon as i removed you could see a line of lacker. sorted out now but badges are back on.
Dont let this put you off taking your badges off.
i used warm water and dental floss to remove the badge and then a little tar remover to get the glue off. Rewax and polish..

Who was the poor bugger who got his car back from the repairers, they'd stuck 'em on as a 2000S.
I remember he wasn't impressed!
