removing glue..
Washing my car for the first time I noticed that on the driver side of the back bumper there is a spot about 6 inches long and 2 inches high with some kind of clear glue.. I assume this is where the previous dealer stuck their emblem. Car was a dealer trade to my dealer.
I have dealt with emblem glue on vehicles before but never on something as flexible as the this. And by flexible I mean both the bumper and the glue. This glue seems much more resistant to being cleaned off than what I have seen before..
Any suggestions?

GooGone or equivalent won't hurt the clearcoat. You might be able to work it off with fingers or a rubber squeegee, especially it it is heated first, then use the citrus degreaser in the residue. Final clean with soap & water. Avoid WD-40.

I've used peanut butter as well to remove wax residue on black plastic trim on other cars as well.
