This scares the crapssss out of me!!!

I have used lacquer thinner to do this before. Also nail polish remover. You got to be quick, and wipe off fast. then polishing compound. rub to much...either could start to remove the cars paint. if you have the can still...look to see how to clean it off

Spray some PB Blaster on an old rag and rub. It won't hurt your paint but you will need to apply a coat of wax afterwards.

We did this at the one body shop I worked at. Had a Lexus SUV that ran through paint and it kept us from having to repaint practically the whole thing.

All I know is it worked on that without messing up the vehicles finish. Just washed and waxed after.

Eraser wheel (aka pinstripe eraser) works every time and if you use it on a rechargeable drill it won't damage the clear at all...

Fixed the painted part. What about the chrome trim on the bottom? Didn't want to do it without consulting you guys.

A little ocd about your truck?! I can name a ton of people that is like that when it comes to their vehicles. Glad you got yours squared away.
