polishing/washing advice

[jackso11]

I have recently romoved some crappy vinyl stickers (shoping list) from my car doors and in certain lights and angles you can still see the outline of them....

anyone know how to get rid?

Wipe over with a soft rag and white spirits, then give a rub down with Farecla scratch remover or similar, then re-apply your polish and wax :)

Don't use T-cut or those sorts of things, the abrasives in them don't break down at all...

If you want to use something over the shelf, then I'd recommend meguairs Scratch-X to do the job properly...

[jackso11]

Meguairs Scratch-X...never hear of it. Is it good for an all over once over? or just small areas?

[JustGav]

Scratch-X is good for by hand... yes you can do the whole car with it....BUT to be honest... you are far better off getting a proper machine polish and getting someone with a machine giving it a once over.. doing an entire car with Scratch-X is hard work... with a random orbital polisher and something like SSR2.5 freshens the paint up and you can do it in about 3 hours...

think a clay bar would do the trick. correct me if i'm wrong. :)

Im not sure , maybe an agressive cut clay bar might.
I would use Sonus SFX 2 it is clear coat safe and i think it would do the job fine.

I used Autoglym bug and tar remover to remove any remaining residue. If the Vinyl was put on after a recent paint job the only way to fully remove it would be to re-spray the panel. I ended up doing this with my jeep after trying everything to remove it.

A claybar is used to pull little bits out of the lacquer... vinyls are more of a residue than anything else, bug and tar remover would work a treat as well actually.... and just pray there is not colour difference...
