How can I smooth this out? The 16-year-old glue from the emblems is killer.

Polishing compound, wash the area or use a quick detailer first though.

QUOTE (jordisonjr @ Jun 28, 2011 - 1:17 PM)  Try using some Goo-gone. Although I'm not sure if that would effet the paint or not, but the label should say. Goo-Gone is what I used to get the glue off. I was scrubbing for almost 40 minutes. I think those scuffed edges are the frayed edges of the clearcoat that was pretty much fused to the glue.

I've been meaning to buy one to try and make my hood prettier. It's got blemishes all over it. -------------------- taking too long to mod since '09
