Bob Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustGav Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 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... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackso11 Posted August 17, 2006 Author Share Posted August 17, 2006 Meguairs Scratch-X...never hear of it. Is it good for an all over once over? or just small areas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustGav Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 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...

Big Ads Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 think a clay bar would do the trick. correct me if i'm wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colsoop Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Huntley Posted August 18, 2006 Share Posted August 18, 2006 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.

JustGav Posted August 18, 2006 Share Posted August 18, 2006 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...
