USE WHAT THE BODY SHOP'S USE- VERY SIMPLE-
GO TO AUTOZONE BUY BONDO SPREADERS , USE THE SIZE YOU FEEL AT EASE WITH OR THE ONE WORKS THE BEST THEY USALLY ALL WORK THE SAME- NO NEED FOR GOO-GONE CRAP
AFTER YOU REMOVE THE EMBLEM
TAKE SOME COMPOUND AND RUB AND WIPE AND YOUR DONE - I'VE DEBAGED OVER 10 CARS THIS WAY- CERDIT CARS WILL SCRATCH YOUR PAINT.

A coat of wax should completely redeem it, right?

Goo Gone will harm your paint if you leave it on for too long. I recommend using an amonia based cleaner, such as Windex. Simply spray it on, and since it is pre-diluted, you do not have to worry about it eating away at your clear coat. Let it sit for about 15 seconds in any spots with sticker goo remaining, then wipe with a paper towel.

Wax DOES NOT add a layer of clear cote to your car. Wax will simply add a small protective layer for about 2 months to your paint. This protective layer protects against UV Oxidation and decreases the amount of harmful chemicals and materials that can harm your paint.

First of all make sure to wait a little while for the goo gone's solvents to completly evaporate. If you do not and you put a coat of wax on, you are essentially sealing all of the solvents in on top of the clear coat. Make sure that you wash the car imediately after applying the goo gone then let the car set for a little bit. I would suggest to buff the area slightly with a swirl mark remover (low abrasiveness). Then throw a coat of wax on. Secondly if you use a credit card I would put a strip of electrical tape on the edge to not scrape the paint at all.

First of all, the goo gone will have been evaporated from the paint's surface before he can walk to grab his wax, unless he poors the entire bottle on and creates a puddle. But, just to make clear, Wax does NOT seal things into your paint. If you accidently feel you have waxed over an area that needs to be buffed, cleaned, or anything else... then simply use Dawn Soap (This REPELLS Wax) and wax again. Never wash your car with Dawn soap unless you plan to rewax shortly after.
