  • Took my stripes off, you can see where they were

    I took my sripes off and after about 15 washes, (not counting all the scrubbing and scraping I had to do to get the adhesive off) you can still see where the stripes used to be. The paint looks newer. The stripes were on for only 7 or 8 months. I have waxed the car since the stripes were on. What can I do to make the car look uniform? Do I need to take it to get buffed polished and waxed? Is there something I can do at home to make it all look uniform?

    Let me tell you, my car has never been this clean before. I washed it 12 times in the past two days.

    I took the stripes off because they werent perfect. I plan on putting them back on in the Spring. My car isn't as much of a cop magnet anymore. I'll get pics up soon so people can tell me whether I should put the stripes back on or whether I should go with the clean look. If I get GFX I dont know if it would be better to put the stripes on or to leave them off. \

    Thanks

    get it professionally buffed out and the paint should match up again.

      yea it should come right back with it professionally buffed out. Why did you take the strips off anyway? Looked good with the strips I thought.

              The problem was the wax I put on over the stripes. On monday i'm having my whole car Re-coned and i'm having the nitrous install neatened up.. They have a lift to Re-run and re-mount the lines and modules.
              For the total: Spot compound wax, under body cleaning, wax and buff, interior shampoo and detailing 150 dollars.
              Nitrous install 150 bucks. Including a spark plug install.
              The guys at these small dealertships love fun nitrous jobs.
