any ideas on how to fix this? Looks like it completely took off the clearcoat?

umm...this sucks.

Chill out dude. It looks like leftover adhesive to me. Get some bug and tar remover or some goof-off and rub till it comes off. The rewax the area.

Where is the problem? Elbow grease, finger nails or wax will get rid of it. I used my nails then some wax to get the final film off.

nope, just regular wax that u'd use to wax your car. i used my finger to pick off the most that i can and then took some zymol to it and after a lil bit of elbow grease, it was gone.

no. i was tempted till i saw what was left behind. i guess i'll go at it with goo off on my lunch today...but i still say it looks like there's no clearcoat there...not just some film/residue.

All you need is somehting to break down that residue.... all it is is like glue..... I belive bug and tar removal will work.

[BigMike]

Simple Green or Orange Blast will work just fine

I used 3M adhesive remover that I bought at Advanced Auto Parts for like 4 bucks...I also used the same stuff to take off my pin stripes.

Here's how mine looks. I still got the stock wheels on though so try not to laugh TOO hard.
