Your gunna have to work with me on this one i tried to search for what these things are but i have no idea how to phrase it or what they are. They almost look like stickers on my wheel arches. They're symmetrical on both sides and they're painted just like my car except for the edges which are noticeably white. I have no idea what they are i've never seen them on any other car i'll send pictures in a second

 

here are the photos

 

Those are normal. I'm not sure exactly what the deal is, but I assume it's some kind of cost saving thing on building the car. The white around the edges would be wax that didn't get buffed out.

Paint protecters

 

oh ok just wanted to make sure they weren't just covering a hole or something like that. unbuffed wax though?!?!!?! i'm so disappointed in myself gotta buff that **** right away! thanks so much for the quick replies.

 

Q-tips or the pointy edge of your terry cloth help with taking the wax off. I usually take it off after the wax dries and before I buff it off. My car is white so I guess it also hides some of the bits that I'm not able to get out.

 

I have those too. I feel like taking it off, but it might damage the paint. Anyway, mine looks a little bit dirty, but it will protect that area of the car.

 

They are not body colored. They are clear and you are seeing the paint underneath. They are to protect the paint from road debris. I forget exactly but I think they are on the bumper just behind the rear tires too.

 

So that's how they get such a good color match!

Qtip with a spray lubricant is your best friend here if you dont want to leave scuffs on the paint

 

that "clear bra" material is also along the bottom edge of the sill below the doors between the wheels
