De-badging help!!!

I just debadged my MAX today and it looks great from afar but it is REALLY REALLY obvious that the symbols were there. I have tried goof off, goo gone, orange citrus oil, 3M adhesive and wax remover and also tried waxing over it but the lines are still there...any help..my car is black -_-

Clay bar it. Then buff it. Repeat. It'll take a little while for it to go away completely.

The detailing forum is your friend. Basically, it's a bar of clay that you rub over your car to remove small bits of metal or other crap that's lodged in the clearcoat/paint. It helps speed up the process of getting the paint that was under your emblems to match the rest of the trunk.

clay bar works good, but mine completely looked like there was nothing there after a couple weeks of normal weathering...

just give it time, with washing and waxing the spots should eventually fade. I had the same problem. my car is black.
