Default need help with paint shadows

i had shaved emblems in the past before...

but today i encountered a weird problem.

i shaved the s2000 emblem off and the passenger side is fine, but on the driver side around the emblem it seems like the paint is faded. and its very noticeable.

i put on 5-6 layers of turtle wax around that area and it doesnt look that much better....

can someone tell me what i need to do to make the whole fender match?

thanks in advance

i would clay the area and then polish it...
wax or synthetic protect it when finished
some chance that nothing will get it, but if anything will the above should do it-
have you polished before?

you must park with the same side towards the sun???
