I love the debadged look. I have removed all of them from mine as well, save for the main L.

...and we are de-badged So glad I did it. It's really hard to convey through photos but in person, holy crap it looks so much better, IMO. In person, it just looks so clean & I'm really loving it so far. Should've done this a while ago

Tell me about, I'm constantly washing my wheels, at least twice per week. 5 minutes of driving after a wash my rims are all dirty again with brake dust. Doesn't help that today was so windy, kicking up all the pollen from wild-flowers blooming due to all the rain we gotten. BTW did you notice all the Painted Lady Butterflies migrating thru SoCal? I've seen thousands in the last couple days flying thru my backyard.

There was a thin layer of dust on my car because of the wind. Annoyed doesn’t even begin to explain how I felt.

Yeah, on my way home from work there were butterflies everywhere. It was awesome

I recently got a leaf blower, great for drying off the wheels after a wash and for blowing off water in deep recesses like the mirrors and trunk lid. Also great for blowing off thin layer of pollen/dust. Tried it yesterday after I came home, car looks clean again.
This is the one I got. It's a little cumbersome to handle but it's light and produces strong air flow.

I’ve used a leaf blower for several years and love it!

Yes, help saves time drying the wheels . Just don't use it on paint. It dries the water too fast leaving water spots.

I have a duster. One quick sweep and the dust is gone. My wheels are a bright silver so even if there are water spots, it blends in.

Aren't you afraid of scratches using a duster? Especially with a black car.
