The same thing happened to me. Don't know what it is but I didn't use that goof off crap so that's not the cause. The 3M eraser wheel got it off but it's kind of a pain in the ass because the wheel only touches a small area so you miss spots and have to keep going over it.

Don't worry man, it could be worse. I removed my trim and the chrome rocker panels that were on my truck when I bought it so I had patches of that haze shit all over the lower part of my truck.

Ok. So I found out Napa had a 3m stripe off wheel (Im assuming its the same as the eraser wheel) and for $40 it was mine. Brought it home and tried it out....It to took a little while but after going back over it with some XMT ultra fine swirl remover and a CCS polishing pad everything came out pretty good....no new paint job for me. Thanks guys for the input!

When I used goof off to do the back badges, I noticed the haze, to me it seemed like a combination of the glue and such being smeared around, I used a multi surface de-greaser and it seemed to go away, a wash and a wax and mine'll look good as new, or better XD

ya i've noticed when using goof off on paint that it will react with whatever else is on there even if its just been washed and cause this haze. a simple good wax will take it right off tho

Well...its not 100% gone. Its just not as noticeable. I didn't realize this till the sun hit it. I've cut the clear coat ,polished and waxed and its still there kinda. You wouldn't know unless you were looking for it...all and all I'm happy though. I will post final pics later...gotta clean my wheels first.haha

When I debadged a few weeks ago, I used the citrus based goo gone stuff. I was afraid that goof off might be too tough on the paint. I was actually surprised how wehn the citrus stuff removed to glue.
