Default DEBADGING HELP

Awhile ago i followed everyones instructions to debadge my gti using fishline and goo gone. Im trying to be really careful taking it off, warming the badges with hot water and using goo gone for the excess. Im not sure if these will buff out but im getting some decent swirls. Hardest thing is removing the foam that still sticks to it. Just wandering if anyone had suggestions or could help. ASAP im outside and shit now. really would appreciate it!

Use a hairdryer to warm up and loosen the foam/adhesive.

When i did it there was foam that i had to keep wet with goo gone and use my fingernails to get it off. Then use some spray detailer to clean up.
