URGENT--Emblem Removal

Hey, debadged the car today. Used a blow dryer and dental floss. Emblems came off fine. A few rounds of adhesive remover, all visible glue gone. Area feels perfectly unblemished. No variation where the letters used to be. Only problem. I have shadowing.


What can i do?????????

+1 . . . Unless debadging is done when the car is new, expect a bit of ghosting/shadowing. It will eventually fade away.
