Negative on the residue, it's been thoroughly cleaned off with 3M adhesive remover.

I had planned on doing a two bucket wash, followed by a good claying before I lay into it, I'd assume that could only help.

Ocdrifter, I have this: "Adam's Complete 5.5" Pad & Polish Combo" Does that have what I need in it?

Unfortunately the dealer is 5 hours away, and won't be of much help. Quite naturally the dealer response will be: "had you left the truck in its factory configuration you wouldn't have a problem". I've also noticed some raised clear around the Colorado tailgate lettering, which leads me to believe the paint was no where near cured/hardened before they applied the emblems. I own a Porter Cable 7242XP, would that be effective? I really don't want to have to purchase another polishing tool if at all possible.

And to Bryan, yes I can feel the outline.

I applied the compound by hand, then just used a Craftsman 10" orbital buffer with a clean soft pad for removal.

Hello! Recently purchased a new 2017 Chevrolet Colorado Z71 in Cyber Gray, and decided to remove the C O L O R A D O and MASSIVE bowtie emblems on the tailgate. I was able to use some very basic compound and wax on the Colorado lettering, and where it used to be is very hard to see, but where the bowtie was is clearly visible. It's like they put them on when the paint was still wet. This is on a new truck with 500 miles on the ODO and it left the factory only a few weeks ago so it hasn't sat around on the lot long. What Adams products and procedures should I used to make this go away?
