Default removed clear coat!!

I finished removing my stripes from the sides of the car. (These were stickers) So I take out 2 hair dryers and extention cords and start heating up my unwanted stripes. They peeled off easy enough with the heaters. So now I am left with a sticky residue to remove with goo-gone. I follow the directions and it doesent work with 2 applications. It did not dissolve the residue. I then get a little more agressive by pressing with goo-gone soaked corner of my terry, then again pressing with the dry side of the towel. It starts working perfect, taking off the residue. I ended with the most sticky section left by the stripe. This stubborn line about 10 in. long would not go away. I rubbed extra hard to get it off. The residue got off for the most part but my clear coat went with it!! It is not on the whole car, just a 10-12 in section where the paint seems unusually dry and non-reflective. I hope that when I clay/#82/polish/wax it will look more like the surrounding paint. It is not horrible, but I DEFINITLY want to fix it. What can I do??!?!
