Question Debadging a 4yr old black car & shadows

I have a 4 year old black car that I would like to debadge, but am worried that it will leave shadows/outlines of the lettering. Will I be able to polish them out if it happens?

I meant if there is any residue or shadowing you can easily polish it to blend it with the surrounding paint. Looks like the paint has a few swirls in it that can be taken care of

Thanks, and yet the car has it's fair share of swirls. You are more than welcome to come take care of that for me
