Default Blemish on my Baby HELP!!!!!!

I need help! what will take this blemish from my baby!! There is dealership badge adhesive that will not buff or rub out with water, car wash lather and rub, or anythind non abrasive i can think of! Its the size of a watch face just above the 350Z badge and it looks bad cause its glue and it holds dust. looks bad. what will remove this, without removing paint and clear coat. I am stuck and its like a huge festering pimple on my otherwise gorgeous black beauty. thanks. please help!

Nope - totally harmless. I've used it when I removed the dealer badge and removed residue left from masking tape that melted on after a day in the sun.

Trust me - nobody is more AR about their Z than me and I wouldn't have used it if it wasn't already proven to be harmless.

Try this first - use a blow dryer on the residue and get it hot and try removing it with a fingernail. The heat should soften it enough to get it to pull loose. If anything is still left behind, use the Goo Gone.

If that happened to me, I *might* use it as an excuse to paint the car a custom color...
