Do you have any idea what it was??

We went to CA this past weekend and I lost AGAIN! a part of the bottom grille, you know that honeycomb thing, well the bottom one is in three pieces and I've lost part of it twice now, anyways...there was all this white stuff on my front bumper and it was STICKY GOOEY!!! Yuck! My husband was accusing me of hitting something but I washed my box before we left I would have seen that. I used Bug and Tar remover and it came off but I swear it was GLUE! A scratch wouldnt come off like that.

Just wondering what you think it might have been. :D

i think mine was glue, i dont think those are gum, i had dried gum on my xB before and it was easy to take them off. when i put my finger on that substance, it feels like an actual scratch. i used a razor blade CAREFULLY try to scrape of those stuff and it did. weird thing is that its on the paint, but not on the windows...

Looks like dried on chewing gum. I had some on my car and needed to use a clay-bar to remove it. No damage to the paint; just clayed the car after washing, re-washed and then re-waxed that section.
