Question please help - problem w/ debadging

Okay, so I took off my "Camry" and "SE" badges the other day, and was able to get most of the glue off, but I still cannot get it clean. I've used Goo Gone or whatever TWICE, yet there's still these fine lines outlining where they used to be. You can see it and feel it. My fingernails can't seem to do anything to it either when I just tried scraping it off. Any ideas?

I did it yesterday without any problems.

If wax won't work, try a clay bar.

what year is your car? if your car is really old, it might not go away because the paint around the badge might have faded and worn away a bit..
but i did this to my 02 recently and you can still see some really fine lines up close but it is not visible from a foot ways... so i used some rubbing compound and voila, silky smooth...

if you can feel the difference with your finer, try using rubbing compound, i like 3m the best, and that should take care of it...

The car is not very old, it's an '07. I'll try washing and waxing it this weekend. Thanks for the help.
