Just take them all off and remove the adhesive. Looks better with them off anyway IMO.

I agree, and I have tried. It left some deep scratches I couldn't get off. I used meguiars ultimate compound and couldn't get anything. Maybe I just need to work on it more.

Just take them off and if you want you could always take some touch up paint to the scratches.

Those arent scratches.. thats clear coat peeling off. When I did mine, one side did that. I did the first side with no issues, did the second side the same exact way and I got peeling clearcoat.

Did it happen on the whole side or just sections? How noticeable is it now that you have them all off?

If that's the case then couldn't you just take some rubbing compound to it then polish? Basically what they do to restore paint.

The whole side. Didnt really notive until it was all off just because of all the adhesive and stuff. Its not that noticable unless you look at the right angle in the right light or get up close. Obviously it sticks out like a sore thumb to me but other people probably wouldnt notice. Ive still gotta try to work my magic on it to see what I can do to fix it..

I tried wax and a buffer but that didnt help. Might need to put some ol fashion elbow grease on it and see what happens. Dont have time to mess with it right now though.
