Yikes, that completely sucks!
Looks like it even went through the plastic guard and took the paint underneath off

If it didn't go through the plastic guard, PDR might have been able to help, but that looks like it will be some body work.

Hope you get it taken care of soon so the pain can go away.
Again, sorry for your loss

I think you can use a rubbing compound to get rid of that glue like material. Try oil or alcohol first though if it's a sticky feeling. I used to clean vinyl residues with any household cleaning products.

Sorry for your loss; because our roads resembles to the roads of Afghanistan, it happens very often here in Quebec but I always thought the roads were cleaner and in much better shape in USA. Terrible thing to happen.
