Default debadged but..

well i just debadged the a4 badge to see how that looks and i was then going to decide if i want to take off the 1.8t. well i did the debadge but if u get close, u can see an outline of the A and 4. idk what to do to get this off...help!!!
BTW- i followed the write up on here for the diy and i repeated the process of heating the area then applying the goo remover then rubbing. maybe im doing something wrong

it won't all come out right away, you can also use some compound with a buffer wheel (if you have one). it goes away eventually

yea, there is alot of stuff out there...i used this stuff called "Oops!" that worked pretty well. You're gonna see a little outline no matter what, but it fades.

DO NOT U PAINT CLEANER, ALCOHOL, PAINT THINNER OR ANY CLEANING SOLVENT

It will eat away at your clear coat paint, and cause your paint to fade and dull away, in extreme cases rust.

Just get some fine grit polish and polish it out.
