Night Shade Removal help!

i put on my night shade last night and debadged the maxima and nissan emblems. Looks great! But when i removed the tape from the lower lights, some of the spray had seeped down the layers of tape and has stuck onto the lower red part of the light...how do you remove this? i tried nail polish remover and goo gone and it wont work!!! also there is a slight residue left on the paint from the maxima or nissan emblem. I tried goo gone and it wont take it off. My next step is to try wd 40 but if anyone has ne tips they'd be much appreciated!! thanx!
p.s. does anyone have pix of their whole tail with night shade? the two top that i did and the lower part? thanx

I recently shaved my nissan emblem. I got it all off though it was a pain to get it off. You just have to scub it off. I used goo gone and it worked out. The only problem is I think I scrubbed too hard cause now the paint has faded around where the emblem was, so now I need to fix that up.

Zep Big Orange for the debadging should work great. It worked fanstastic for vynil sticker glue.

rubbing compound worked awesomely on my emblem. but the paint definently looks slightly different where the symbol used to be. not noticeable unless you look for it. only shaved the burger after i noticed it.

it looks differnet because of the ageing or "oxydizing" (i read something somewhere) of the paint not because of the rubbing compound
