I decided to remove the Z4 badge on the boot of my car but it has left a dark shadow effect on the paint which means you can still see an outline of where the badge was. Any suggestions of what I should use to get ride of this?? Simple car shampoo has not done the trick...
Thanks

Clay - polish - wax
Preferrably with a orbital machine of course but manual works as well.
