Remove "Explorer" from rear of 2025 ST

A quality polisher, soft pad (yellow) and some good compound and it will be like new. There is no risk in polishing the black plastic as long as you have minor skills. A quick one-step polish is the quickest way to clean up these ridiculously soft black plastic trim pieces. One the doors, the back hatch, the grill, etc.

This is what I'm hoping for. I bought "Griot's Garage Plastic All-in-One, Polish, Restore, and Protect" as per google that came up as a good compound. If anyone would have better suggestions I'm all ears.

Never used that one, but have used Griot's Perfecting Compound and Correcting Cream successfully on plastic. Their polishers are a good entry level unit and what I use. Griot's is good stuff to get into the hobby, then you "graduate" to The Rag Company and spend more money ;-)

Update to my saga. I hit it with Griots Plastic all in one compound with a 3” orbital buffer. It looks like new! There are indentations left over from where the rubber wheel overheated when removing adhesive. But you can only see it if I point it out or you know what you’re looking for. All in all happy with results!
