dats a no no. nvr put anything visibly sharp to ur exterior. u cn hand buff it but i think in ur case u would be spending hours on it if it's not glue that ur dealing with. to do the whole job right, buff it, and the some meguir's show room glaze will make ur car shiny as hell

ORIGINAL: Lazer Viking

wet sanding is the only thing to get it off
its very difficult to get perfect on a dark car, and even at the right angle you can still see where mine were,
+1 on wet sanding and still seeing it

get the finest grit you can though, if you go too rough you will sand through the paint and clear, you mainly just wanna sand down the clear


and at the right angles you can see my emblems inbeded into the paint and a faint outline, kind of same deal you have, but i have the ebony pearl and they are a itch to keep clean

try brake clean. I had the same marks on my car and my buddies car when we debadged them. It took it off in to seconds.

P.S. it will not hurt your paint if you put the Bbrake clean on a rag and then rub it on.

I had the same problem! Wet sand it and it will be good as new! It is very easy to do and will take all of 5 min! I did mine like this last week and looks great now! Make sure you use 1000-1200 grit sand paper and soapy water to wet sand with then buff out! Very Simple!

first of all take a picture from about 3 feet back. So we can see what you're dealing with.
