Go it! Mushy, non-rough paste. Quick question... How's does the Bar Keeper's Friend fare on the logos? I saw the Groove Juice fades the logos a bit and I would expect them to fade away almost completely if you use Groove Juice more than 3-5 times during the life of the cymbal. Obviously, polishing with Nev'r Dull or any other "elbow grease" induced polisher pretty much removes the logos altogether.
