Stubborn adhesive removal
I took out a paint protection film from a section on my rear bumper, the part that is slanted upwards. This had an emblem on it and it seems like the person who installed the PPF, stuck the emblem on them with some permanent adhesive. After taking off the PPF, I'm left with a very uneven surface of adhesive remnants(see tiny black dots all over) that I was not able to get off with goo gone and applying light-medium pressure with microfiber towel. Also the part that had emblems, have extra adhesive remants, which makes me think it somehow seeped in through the ppf and is going to be even harder to remove. Any advise to get rid of all this? I'm a detailing noob and kindof clueless how to deal with this without damaging paint.

3M General Purpose Adhesive Cleaner. You can usually find it at Oreilly's or Autozone usually in the touch up paint section.
Won't hurt the clear coat or paint. |

In my business, I use Turtle Wax Label and Sticker Remover and a plastic razor blade. Also, there are different strength Goo Gone products. I use the Auto Goo Gone and the Surface Prep Goo Gone. Sometimes I alternate between all 3 for tough adhesives.

WD40 works great also. Just wash your car afterwards.
