Door step plates refurbishment

One of the “MX5” badges was peeling off my drivers side step trim so, after being quoted £170 for a new one i decided to go used. Found a decent one on Ebay for £30. Its much better but is covered with tiny scratches. So i decided to experiment a bit of polishing on the old one. Results:


Before.


After.

So I’m going to do the two that are fitted to the car. Obviously I’ll mask the badge and the black plastic first.

Just shows what 10 minutes work can achieve!

Great result :+1:

What products/technique did you use?

Buffing wheel on a small angle grinder and solvol autosol. Obviously you take it carefully.

Anyone know if i can get new badges anywhere?
