shaved my emblems. what now

Well i took off the GLE and the burger. It came off pretty well. But not there is that glossy reflection only in the sun of where the emblems used to be. I understand why it was there. thats how the orginal paint was when my first car got sprayed and it wasn't exposed to sunlight and what not.

But how did you guys get rid of it. Just simple wash and wax? I used goof off to get rid of all the glue and thats completely gone but i was wondering if waxing it a couple of times in the trunk area would help make it blend in with the rest of the paint more.

Yes, just wax it with a good wax for dark colors and it should blend in. If not, then high speed buff it.
