I removed my tahoe badges and side skirts and I can't seem to remove lines left behind. They're dark lines, I would guess from the accumilation of dirt/dust etc. Any suggestions to get these lines removed? Thanks for your time.

Goo Gone or something to that effect, test it though on a spot that you cant see. I've used it many times and it works great, but you will probably need a lot of it.

Start with a good wash. Clay bar the area then use a paint polish. Meguires makes good ones. Polish the area. It should/may remove the lines left behind.
If not, 3M makes a polishing wheel. Be careful to not burn the area. Once the offending material is gone, polish and wax.

I did the same with my silverado. i scrubed w/ goo gone and all kinds of things. then the last time i took it to get washed (and detailed since i had a gift card) they were gone. so my sugestion would be to take it to a good auto wash and ask them to get it off.

I like Meguires as well. Sometimes their Cleaner Wax is all that is needed.

Take it for a good bath. Deep cleansing is what your car needs.
