Debadging for the worst reason ever

Please tell me I'm not the only one who's debadging just to make it easier when it comes time to seal/wax?

Getting rid of the Subaru and BRZ lettering so I don't have to tape around it or do anything special when applying sealant. I know I could wipe it off after just applying straight over, but I'm that lazy...

Ceramic coat with Opticoat Pro or Cquartz Finest then you won't have to remove it.

Every time I wash/wax I wish I could remove them to clean underneath. Then I look at all the pepper on my front bumper and I get over it.

I got you, fam. I removed the letters because I love the clean look without them, but having spent 7 hours detailing my car yesterday, not having to deal with them this time round was an amazing feeling.
