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

celica-s has a good point under your emblem is that pretty paint that was not exposed to UV to fix your fading you would basicly need to get a good machine polishing done on it, if you want you can just take it to get a exterior detail(cheaper then a full detail) and ask if they will buff out all the oxidation,swirls,micro-marring and take care of where the emblem is, hell if you got other ones on the car they will remove those also usualy at no cost. just ask to speak to the detailer directly instead of the office people as they wont be the ones on your car and makes the detailers job easier because he knows exactly what you need and a nice tip helps with a good job also
