Debadging help!

So the previous owner debadged the car expect this adhesive mark. I tried wd-40 and an adhesive remover. Nothing gets it off. Any suggestions?

it's likely been baked on there for a pretty long time. I'd say that might need a buffer and compound. At work we also use a rubber wheel on an air tool to remove old adhesive, but that's a bit dangerous, can easily burn the paint.

mineral spirits and some elbow grease. if it doesn't come off, use a compound. then wax it.

Mineral spirits or Goo Gone. Auto parts stores sell adhesive remover for stickers, try that also

Use bug and tar remover and as soon as it starts to dry rub with your finger. Works like a charm
