It is the goo gone that fucked you. You gotta get the adheasive cold, then rub it down with a clean terry cloth and elbo grease. Then use the Mothers swirl remover or scratch X to get rid of any shaddow, then wash and wax it. Turtle wax is fine.

you can always get some 3M hand glaze and work at the shadow a little on your own. just be patient and keep at it. Make sure it's clean beforehand and then use some cleaner wax and a coat or two of regular wax. Try to park it in the sun afterward as well, this should help lighten the marks from the badges.

yeah the power buffer works good. the lines are gonna stay for a bit, but eventually after a few washes and waxes, you won't notice them anymore. make sure you dont accidently scratch the paint either while taking them off

Clay bar it. You can pick them up at your local autoparts store. Get gray if your paint is a dark color and pink if you have a light color car. I work at a detail shop and people ask us to debadge their trunks all the time.
