After removing the excess stripe dust, I used rubbing compound to further clean the surface. Be sure to choose your abrasive based on the condition of the paint.

NOT SAFE FOR URETHANE!! I just kept going from the metal fender right onto the urethane bumper - BIG MISTAKE - Lots of white dust and a chewed fender.
