Emblem PCS badge peeling
Hi all, I've recently found a thin layer of plastic coating peeling off my front emblem (PCS) badge. The active cruise control/PCS systems still work, but it doesn't look great.
I touched it the other day to see what was going on, and and another thin layer of plastic peeled off.
Is there anything I can do, to restore looks, without replacing?

Just remove/sand/polish the emblem then apply the same material they use for clear bra wraps.
The signals that are emitted/received from the emblem are radio frequency, not infrared, so this fix should not affect the functionality.

You have no idea what the method is that they use for said frequencies. They likely have programmed it with a specific wavelength amplitude that returns an expected value, and it's possible that your PPF can disrupt these given values and may change how the radar cruise functions.
I speculate you are incorrect.
Any coating would not affect radio frequency - would only affect a light wavelength if it was IR based, like the remote on a TV.
Which this is not.

When my PCS emblem got foggy I had it sanded down (along with headlights) and had Xpel film applied. Works perfectly and still looks brand new 5 years later.
