If its on there it may not take it off, but definatly will get fresh off. It's designed to take the adhesive off and not mess up the clear so the same thing should apply to plastic.

Awesome. I've Ben a body tech for 8.5 years and that's what I found that works the best imo. We use the aerosol tho, not the can but it prob doesn't matter.
Back on topic, I don't see how shops can let such ****ty quality leave out the door.

UPDATE:I just spent most of the day at the dealer pointing out the small imperfections to the body guy that were clearly overlooked. I just kinda snapped with impatience at the sheer laziness of one of the paint techs. Sometime of you want something done right you have to do it yourself. Nonetheless, it was completed to my satisfaction and I I'm also going to get a deal on some sweet 2013 HD headlights so I'm happy lol. Here are some pics, lemme know what you think!
