Rubbing Alchohol, GoofOff or something of the like. These products will certainly strip any wax you may have applied to the area. Make sure you reapply when complete.

Couldn't have said it better. To add to it make sure you use a microfiber cloth. :bigthumb:

Those stickers were there to supposedly protect your paint from rock chips. I think most altimas come with them.

Old arab way is to use gas.... Gas takes off any kind of sticky stuff... But dont use gas on some plastics, like the headlights.

DO NOT USE GOOF OFF. Use Goo Gone, the citrus stuff. Goof off will eat your clear coat I actually used it to completely strip my spray tinted tail lights of 2 coats of clear and 3 coats of spray tint right back down to the bare plastic.

Googone is safe to use with some blue shop towels. Those are there from the factory to protect against rock chips lol

Keep the Goof Off though, comes in handy for lots of other things. Like stripping tail light tint, for example.

On lighter colored Coupes it stands out much more. This is why many of us have removed it as it discolored from the weather. For a red coupe I'm sure it looks more attractive at this point.

That actually looks like a different version of Goof Off. The one I have comes in a metal can with a safety screw cap like paint thinner. 'Cause its rugged, yo.
