Default in process of debadging, question...

Got the emblems off very easily, noticeable outline. I applied 3M IHG 3x so far and the outline is slowly fading... Few quetions:

1) I havn't been giving it much elbow grease with the IHG, should I to get the outlines to go away quicker?

2) Do I want to try something harsher then IHG ?

3) When I apply the IHG, the area where the emblems used to be is very visible once the IHG dries, is this because there is no wax?

how long does it take for it to disappear? I have been considering debadging as well, but I am afraid of the "ghosting" effect...

Default I used a clay bar as well.

Once badges were taken off, I used Goo Gone, then clay bar and then Blitz Wax. There's no trace of the badges.
