I doubt its un-fixable.

Like someone already mentioned, if you dont have access to a polisher/polishes, use a rubbing compound with light pressure to try and get the scratches out. Then follow-up with a wax to protect the paint.

I guess its kind of late now but the key to debadging is keeping the surface lubricated and taking your time.
I used pretty much the same technique as you, even used a credit card to work the last bit of adhesive off but I worked slowly and the surface was always well lubricated.

Like others are saying, put up pictures so we can actually see what you did, but most likely you will need to polish or compound (LIGHTLY) the scratches and then wax.

I think you can get it out...

If its not down to the paint and on the clear coat you can polish it out. Try doing it with some light compound by hand then follow up with some wax. You can also take it to a pro detail shop and have it hi-speed buffed out for $20 bucks.
