Did it to my HD there was a little bit of ghosting but it depends on some things:
1. color of car
2. how many times you've waxed it
3. how old it is

these things can cause it to stand out but if you do it I waxed it a couple times after debadging it and now you can barely see it

Doing the Accent and Tib I had a little ghosting until I buffed the car. I think the apparent ghosting was just from roughness in the very top layer of the clearcoat.

It was only a tiny bit of ghosting, I really had to look hard to spot it on both cars.
