I can still see where the stickers were

Hi all,

I have a Caddy that used to be a fleet vehicle and you can still make out the previous company details even though the stickers are long since gone! Does anyone have any ideas of how I can get rid of it.

Thanks
J

A good buffing 'might' get rid of it if it's only on the surface. The problems come when the base coat paint has been faded by the sun and the paint that was under the graphics didn't get the same exposure.
Plenty of Detailers on here, I'm sure professional advice will be forthcoming.

I had the same problem dude, just used T cut and buffed the death out of them. As Doc said, some of the detailers may have better advice

Thanks for all your replies - I will get polishing.

The van is blue, like the British Gas vans, except it wasn't a BG van - still they all wave at me as I go by!
