I'm not 100% certain, but I'm afraid that they might be micro-scratches, since I was stupid enough to actually try using a tiny plastic scraper that came with the goo-gone that claimed to be scratch free, and the guy at Autozone even assured me it wouldn't scratch my paint lol. Only used it for a minute before I realized it wasn't a good idea, but I guess thats all it takes haha.
Not really sure how to fix micro scratches.
Scratches are definitely possible. The first time I de-badged the "SUBARU" part I used my fingernails on some areas where the adhesive was being really resilient and even that left tiny little etches under certain lighting. I just QuikWax'd and tried to forget about it lol
