Default Quick! Debadging help!

okay, i just took the first symbol off. used a goo gone type thing to try to get all the adhesive off.. everything is off but i can see a faint outline of the A.. what can i do?! is there any hope to get that off or should i look into purchasing a new a or some new sticky tape to put it back on? i've heated the outline and tried an adhesive remover for a long time now.. also tried a scratch remover.. and bug and tar remover. none worked.. it's raised a bit. someone help please.

You can try and use a buffing or polishing compound but be careful you can burn the paint if your too agressive with it, just take it easy and then re-wax after that and it should be good

First of all take off all the badges or else ur creating more work for yourself. Once you have goo goned and scraped till you can't anymore compound. I used a buffer and it really helped. There is gonna be a faint outline for about 2-3 weeks but it will completely dissapear

On mine there was. I also have pearl white (a tricolor) and a 97, so thats probably why. I promise though you will be able to get it all off. Some people said claybar too

haha done. got as much off as possible. you can barely see it.. only ifyou look at 13°W into the sun squinting with one eye open.. it should go away with a few washes and waxes. and viola, here she is.
