debadging issue

Ive done this to every other car ive owned and havent had this many issues.
I removed all the glue and **** and I cant for the life of me get rid of the outline. Ive used goo gone etc to try and get it off and i cant tell if it is carved in or what.

Any ideas??? the picture is what it looks like that i cant remove.

If I was you I would get a cutting compound. (Like a scratch removing compound)

And get to work with a buffer

ive "read" that the 3m adhesive remover works. i've yet to buy it, keep forgetting when i go to autozone. always end up buying stupid stuff lol.

i know goo gone doesnt work, i've tried it for a while. it for the most parts gets a lot of it.

Either 3m adhesive remover or akrysol. If they won't do it,polishing compound and a buffer. Good luck

I would try clay bar then if you have an orbital/porter cable with a cutting compound followed by a polish and a wax. That should definitely do the trick!

I second trying out a claybar to help, if Goo-Gone isn't doing much. But you might need to find the previous owner and slap them for keeping the emblems on for so long. I've owned two Evos, and I think I took them off within a few days.
