New paint!! + Need product recomendations

I just got my car back yesterday!!! I love it....but while wheeling out my car they got some of crap they were wheeling with on the black rubber bumpers on the front and back of the car. what would you guys use to remove the white streaks in the black?

I could armor all them, but that only looks good for 30 seconds

WD40 will work on that applied with a clean rag. Try it.

The exhaust is oversprayed, yes. I am getting new exhaust so it doesnt matter

He painted the front airdamn, I dont know why. That took me a whole 10 minutes to tape up and paint back "rattle-can Black"

There was even some overspray in the wheel wells, but I took a $5 can of rubberized undercoating paint to that in another 10 minutes

The whole thing cost me $900, I didnt have to do anything jsut drop it off and pick it up. Hes painted other vehicles for me before so I knew he does a good job

I have new pics, those were raw, right from his place before I cleaned up at all...

I LOVE IT :hail: :hail: :hail: :hail:
