The floss did indeed leave some marks, but probably wax/whatever is on the floss transferring onto the clear more than the clear being damaged. Any marks from the floss were pretty easily compounded out.

The process is a job and a half though, most of my time spent on the front badge. Not easy, not for the faint of heart. Toyota has those badges on with some sort of super 3M, and the locating/fastening pins on the front badge are in there super good...broke those, the emblem was in-tact, but I'm pretty sure you don't have locating pins on the FRS so some heat and the floss should fly right through. Be ready with some compound/polish to clean up inevitable smudges/scratches induced, but you'll be good!
