Default UL Grille Badge Removal / Cleaning?

Hey guys, probably a dumb question...

I want to clean underneath the UL square grille badge for the radar cruise...

Any easy way to do this? Not sure if I have to remove it completely to get under there. There is some old residue or fade that I am hoping some plastic compound will remove (similar to headlight restoration)

Tips or tricks from you guys are appreciated!

Beats me, but don't screw it up. A replacement is a grand.

If you mean plastic lens on Radar assembly in bumper, I used drill with longer rod for polishing wheel to be able to clear from bumper. I cleaned lens pretty good without taking it out. If this is what you mean. Other than that I will have to look manual how to take it out.

Later, Kev

Yes, I am talking about cleaning the plastic square lens for the radar cruise...

So you cleaned it from the inside hood to outside? Or just got it in between there at an angle with the hood closed?

you cannot get between cover lens and radar lens, for this u will need to take it a part. But when I look at it all the
scratches and stones chips are from outside, try first polish from outside. I can look at manual for 01 LS430UL how to take it out if you want.
