Some wax/rubbing compound will take care of it. If not, then wetsanding will do it (be careful with the wetsanding)

I would avoid the wetsanding...

You will need:

Goo Gone, micro fiber cloth, patience, energy drink, and some crack.

Take your time and you'll get it off eventually.

It looks good now I heated it the rolled it off sort of

then I took a wet cloth to it

then I used mothers paint cleaner (step 1)

but at one angle I think I can see a little bit of it but I only see it for a second then I cant find it again

Oh and by the way any one thinking of doing this
-I live in canada so my paint isnt as good as everyone elses
-I have 120 000 miles on my car a
-colour is NBP
It turned out very well no ghosting just need to put a little bit more elwbo grease into it

It looks good now but like I siad every once in awhile I catch something ,maybe my eyes are palying tricks on me because I cant find it twice but im going to look tommorow when its in the sun and if its still there Im going to use more paint cleaner and if that doesnt work,rubbing compound ,but I can hardly see it now.so ill live with it if doesnt get better

Maybe ill put picks up to see if you guys see anything
