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

that's not lacquer came off, that's how clean your original paint was when they stuck the badge there, the surrounding paint show how fealty your paint is now. sorry for the term is used but that's what it is. the white thing surrounding the badge before you remove it are hard water deposits, detergents, rainwater / acid etc. a good rub down is what your car needs. Atleast that's how we call it here the the Philippines.
