[Help Thread] How to remove Tornado V3 Pioneer Logo

[2x2MasterYT]

Basically the title. I've tried Magic Eraser, Pink School eraser, Aluminum Polish, and Sugar. Idk what else to try and I really don't want this logo on here

I don't want to use Sandpaper

As long as its not UV, you can use a very very high grit sandpaper, like 3000 grit or higher.

I think they sell blank center caps but not too sure

I removed mine from 2 Tornado V3 Pioneers a year ago with Mothers Mag & Aluminum Polish, and it came off very easily, using a Viva paper towel and very little pressure. So I'm not sure why aluminum polish didn't work for you. Have they started putting the logo on with a different process?

That being said, there is still a bit of difference in appearance of the plastic itself that can be seen in really bright light at just the right angle. I was assured that it would be acceptable for BLD on the WCA"s forum.

Also I bought blank center caps for them, but they didn't fit so that didn't work. :-(

Oh yeah they did do that didn't they

The fact that the TV3 and Hong only released 5 months apart feels off to me

That’s because it is; The TV3 in question is the UV coated version of the Pioneer that was released 10 months after the originals were released.
