Depends on how long it took you to drive 30K.

Default Depends on age not millage. If the car isn't more than 4 years old, there shouldn't be a problem

At least no problem after a little wax

Default look here, it depends on:

Where you park on a daily basis
How you wash your car
How you do the actual job of debadging
How long you have owned the car
etc.

It just simply depends. There is no ONE answer.

Just do it. ODDS ARE that you will be fine. Dont be a richard.
