Roadwrap Fail

I just took delivery of my M2 and applied raodwrap on it for the first time. I didn't do a good job as you can see by the pics but I didn't really care as I will be taking it off when after my 300 mile drive home. Now I regret not applying it better because the problem was that some parts of the wrap was coming off and I can hear it from inside the car of it flapping hard. I took it off afterwards and noticed it left some marks that my finger can't smear off. I hope it didn't damage any paint and a car wash would bring everything back to normal. I've read some people used blue painters tape and had it come off during the drive home. Anyone have any knowledge about this?

A fine detailer or body shop will probably be able to compound the abrasion and bring it into fine shape. It is merely scuffed from the plastic and wind...unless the top coat is cut or scraped. They won't charge you a packet for the work...have it done right.

So I went to the car wash and guy said car wash won't help...told me to buff it. I plan on getting ceramic pro 9h anyways so the detailer will do any paint correction and will fix it no problem. I was told it's not as bad as it looks.
