How can I smooth this out? The 16-year-old glue from the emblems is killer.

and im not sure of any claybar thats like 2000grit sandpaper, even the not so mild clay is not as harsh as 2000grit which i wouldnt use unless the clear did come off, normal turtle wax rubbing compound and not using a electric buffer you will not go through the clear coat, unless you sit there for hours on one spot, i just had the same issue as the OP hence why i suggested rubbing compound as i tried the least aggressive methods first as anyone should do with paint correction.and should only take 5 mins with rubbing compound to remove the left over dried on adhesive. and dont use solvents as chinaman said unless its something like pure d-limonine. was gonna say for the key scratches use some polishing compound to remove the graying to make scratches less noticeable, but i forgot you have a dark colored car and not white..white paint is a biatch to keep clean
