Then I washed the area with soap and water really well.

As far as I can tell, all the adhesive is gone, but a sort of faint shadow of the word remains
Although it isn't super visible, its kind of bothering me, most because I know its there lol

Is this because the paint under the lettering needs wax? If so, will a quick spray wax work for a while until I decide to get my car fully waxed properly?
Maybe try Goo-Gone on microfiber again (gently... it's a chemical process) followed by rubbing alcohol, and then spray on some Quik Wax. I really doubt you need to clay bar or anything.

And 5 bux says you'll go on to remove the "BRZ" as well pretty soon
