Default Water spots on Ricks Badges

Hi all,

I was cleaning bugs off my front bumper yesterday and noticed what appeared to be water spots on Ricks Badge. I tried getting them off, but they won't come off!! Anyone else have this problem and how did you fix it? I tried a cloth with windex on it but that didn't work. Any suggestions?

Thanks.

The badges are guaranteed, so if the spots don't come off, we'll send a free replacement set. While you try the recommended methods, I'll check with the manufacturer.

I tried th methods, and nothing. I just noticed that 3 out of the 4 badges have spots. They are like under the plastic. Like between the decal and the cover. Real strange place to accumulate moisture. They're there permanatley though. A replacement set would be nice.

I'll try the methods mentioned above, but like Blue Bitch 2K, the spots do look like they are under the top layer of clear plastic!?! It does seem strange to get them there. I'll let you all know how it works out. Thanks Rick, for the replacement offer. I'll let you know.
