Once those vinyl arch strips came off, I was REALLY surprised to see marks on the body. It appears as though those crazy Bavarian engineers cut or trimmed the vinyl strips once they had been placed on the car's body. Even though the marks don't appear to have pierced the clear coat and gotten to the paint, they are visible. I took the car to my dealer and we decided to lightly sand the marks and polish them afterwards. Most of them went away but a small part was still left. After reapplying the Xpel they faded even more but if you get really close you can definitely perceive them. By the way, they were only present on the front of the car and not on the rear.

Thanks for that. I'm collecting our car today and have it booked in for PPF next week. I'll discuss the possible removal with them.
Do you recall into what exactly the screws locate to attach these strips and after their removal did you relocate the screws?
