Default Pickguard Removed - Slight Problem

OK .. Yesterday I asked for advice on fixing or removing a lifting pickguard on my Gibson. http://www.acousticguitarforum.com/f...d.php?t=493828

So today I decided to remove it. I took my time and in about 15-20 min it was removed. It was super easy to do and it came off cleanly.... Then I cleaned off all the residual glue from the top (using Naptha) ...

However there is a PROBLEM.... Maybe the prior owner or someone used some other type of glue on the pickguard.

There is a small area with something extremely hard (glue ?) It's on top of the finish. SEE PHOTO.

Any ideas? Or is this a job for a Pro?
Good thing is the new pickguard will cover up the spot.
