Use a good polish to remove the old glue outline or a bit of t/cut.
To remove the Wrx badge use a hair dryer/ heat gun and some dental floss.
Just be carefull how hot you get the paint

I used a bit of turpentine and a cloth, came off straight away then washed the paintwork immediately with car shampoo to remove the turps!

Use a good tar remover first to lift any remaining adhesive then i usually clay the area then use a polish to buff up any remaining out line off where the badges were then seal with a wax/sealant etc....job done.SJ.

A can of sticky stuff remover from Halfruads did the job for me, spray on and leave for a bit then wash off and polish.
