Default Autoventshade

I ordered a set of blackouts for my 98' T/A from autoventshade, and I would like to remove that little AVS emblem. What can i use that will not harm the finish, I want to keep it glossy. Thanks.

3M Perfect-It II
Fine Cut Rubbing Compound

Its available from PepBoys.
Its a grey bottle.

Use a small terry-cloth covered applicator to rub.
They are available in packs of two from Walmart for a couple bucks.
Wipe off with a microfiber towel (also available at Walmart for cheap).

Thats how I did it.
