looking to debadge truck, how to remove brown crud

[4runnerracer]

I'm planning to debadge my truck and rebadge them with (vinyl?) stickers. However there's some brown stuff around the badging that is hard to remove (probably old wax?). How do I remove it so it comes out clean when I rebadge it? Also some of that brown stuff is on the trim.

once u remove them, get some polish and start polishing away
a couple of times around should do the trick

Try a clay bar first and then the polish.

A cleaner wax would work, but I prefer polish.
