Hey shifty,
Did you see my flaw?
Yours sounds worse than mine, but on mine, there was a noticeable crease that ran along the edge of the adhesive tape. As if the strips had been applied before the clearcoat was fully cured. "Scratch-Out" and a good polish took it right out--well mostly. It is nearly impssible to see, now, but it is still there.
Otherwise--bummer.
