You have to buff it out, however you have to be very gentle and not buff your way through the clear coat. I use 3M Finesse it II , which is not hard to find. I do it by hand and gently not to put scratches on the paint, then wax it with a good wax like Zano Brothers Corvette wax. To prevent it you may want to buy the fender protective film so that it won't happen again. The paint protective film can be bought on e-bay or BDM Performance Parts. Do a search on here and see what others have done and which products work best for them. Good Luck

Compound and then a quality wax will prevent it from happening again .

Mine did that too, but I noticed if I put the seat back on that they go right away. If I put my ass on top of that and ride, I forget about those suction cup marks entirely.

I have used Zano for 8 years and love it....I bought my first new vette in 04 and have used it ever since, including the dog. Never use anything else. I have not tried the new clear seal.

Compound then keep lots of wax on there. Always clean your suction cups with a clean rag and pledge or honda polish before you put it on.

I used hand glaze to remove the marks from the p pad cups on my fender then waxed it heavily now I make sure the cups are clean before I put the pad on and they have not returned
