I had that same exact AMG keychain for my old w202, and it broke in less than a few months. ALL my MB keychains have broke, they're all just relatively expensive POS... (even though I'm using the logo ball keychain that always comes loose right now!)

here are some pictures of my car after using klasse AIO and pinnicle souveran
I usually go through about 6 microfiber towels when detailing. 2 waffle weave to dry, 2 sonus wunder buffing towels for polishing, and 2 Concours Buffing towels for the souveran

I would try one of these products in this order of preference:
3M Adhesive remover pep boys should have this
A clearcoat safe bug and tar remover you can find this everywhere
rubbing alcohol followed by waxing should work but its not the best choice....
IMHO goo gone is bad for your clearcoat.

oww! yeah, def a good idea getting rid of it while the car's still new. your hands would burn x2 if it was any older haha. a shame i never got the opportunity to do that :-D maybe some day when i get one new!

Before I got my C230K, I almost want to rebadge it as C180K (143hp).
Like you said, that would surprise the shiat out of those people who try to bully me
