Best way to get extra badge adhesive off?

Hey everyone,
I just debadged my '97 RL and afterwards, it left behind some adhesive that I can't get off. Any tips? Polish or buffer, possibly?

Thanks!

Use lighter fluid or goo gone works great!

Laquer thinner(stronger and cheaper than 3M adhesive remover) and a rag. if that doesn't do it use an eraser wheel. MAC n Snap-on both make a really nice one but they are like $400. if u don't know anyone working at a body shop u can usually get a cheap eraser wheel at the automotive paint store. use it in a die grinder or even a drill. go SLOW if using an unslotted wheel. pressure and friction are your friends, heat is not. won't take long, keep wheel away from anything plastic.

Try WD-40 and rag. Use water to clean right after. Works for me.
