Imprint left after De-Badging???

Okay, I just de-badged the TL but I still have the imprint's of the ACURA and TL logo. you would only see it if you were right up close to it and or if the area gets wet!! Do any of you guys have any tips for this, or am I just stuck with this?

Clean any glue residue with Goo Gone.

Then polish, then wax.

If properly polished, there should be no imprint. You might also try to clay bar the area, then polish, then wax.
