Is there still a lot of adhesive left? I used a plastic razor blade and goof off. Once I got it all off, I put some buffing compound on the trunk and buffed out the scratches..be careful using regular razor blade's, very easy to get deep scratches that later will not come out.

You should have used dental floss. For the residue, "Goo Gone" works pretty well, and as stated, use some wax or sealant to finish it off.

you don't need a buffer or credit card!

Use rubbing alcohol and a terry cloth towel. Poor some alcohol on the terry cloth towel all rub kinda hard and you'll start to see it coming off pretty fast. it's might take some time tho.

I did it this way to my TL.

Good luck!
