What is platic film on rear fender?
Only had the car 2 weeks. Never noticed the protective film (?) on the fender. Looks like it is to prevent chips from rocks.
Anyway, it looks like just some small piece of clear plastic film. Will it start looking crappy? Should it be removed?
I noticed it, while waxing the car, the wax makes a white line right at the plastic...

I didn't notice it until I washed my car for the 1st time.
I figured Mazda must have put that thing on for a reason and decided to leave it alone. It is a pain when it comes to waxing, but should not leave any white line as long as all of the wax residuals are properly taken of.
