Default Debadge / Shave UV Ghost Lettering

Hi.

I tried, but not really sure what to search for to find this answer in the forum.





I just debadged (I've always called it "shaved...") my Sonata and although the lettering came off clean, as I feared they might, they left behind a UV/faded ghost of themselves. It is only visible in strong direct light at the right angle... but now that I know it's there, it's naturally making me a bit . I doubt the camera will even pick it up as it is so subtle (didn't try yet), but at the right angle it is plainly visible as a faint off-color ghost of the original lettering.



Can something like that be taken out with goo gone, or am I looking at a deeper buffing and polishing situation?



Thanks!

The opposite. The paint is factory-smooth vs. the microscratches everywhere else! Plus it is possibly still sealed with a bit of adhesive residue.
