2013 rear bowtie and SS removal

Anyone have any tips on getting the adhesive off. I got my side badges off clean and smooth. The rear bowtie and SS left like adhesive smears and I can see the outline of where they were. My only guess is they were done in the colder months and then left sitting until it warmed up outside and just never came clean for me. I've used goof gone and wd40 and it's been little results.

I used the 3M adhesive remover wheel. Works great!

For adhesive residue I haven't found anything better than Rapid Tac Rapid remover.
The outline you see is probably not residue, it's call "ghosting".
This occurs when a badge or decal is removed, revealing the paint that has had no UV exposure due to being covered.
Polishing is the only way to remove it.
