Some crap on my paint!

[EnricoPalazzo]

Hey guys, i just got my car from the docks and i cleaned it today to find that the right rear fender has an area of like 20x10cms which is screwed. It seems there was a sticker there or somethin and it has left a huge mark on the paint.

I tried to clean it off with the car detergent and that did nothing, so i tried assorted cleaners to no avail, so i finally went to the shop and bought some prepsol.

Anyway it did nothin. Im stumped. My cousin who used to detail cars thinks it needs a cut and polish. Hmmm i wish i could post a pic so u could see what i mean.

To best describe it, it looks like someone peeled off a huge sticker and left the reside or whateva it is that a sticker leaves behind.

Any help is greatly appreciated

Thanks

my guess is.. if it was a sticker it should have come off by now..

give it a good cut and polish.. and that should do the trick...

you could buy a little bottle of sticker remover.. and try that.. to see if it was a sticker...

but i think sticker remover is just like nail polish remover/toner/acetone.. sum shit like that

if all else fails..

try some turpentine .. j/k

Prepsol didnt do it so must try a cut and polish.

Hmmmm any other suggestions?

the best way to get any sort of glue off of the duco is to use laquer thinner. Dont worry it doesnt damage the paint.I used it to get the GTS-t sticker off of my R33. Make sure that you get all of the smudge marks off cause it will look really crap. You can get it from the local hardware for about 10 bucks.

Yeh i tried that. Prepsol is that thinner designed for car paint.

Ohwell ill take it to the crash repair and see what they think.

something that CAN happen is that some stickers have something in the adhesive that doesnt like paint too much..... if it has affected the paint a panel shop should be able to snick it back and cut and polish the area for stuff all to get her lookin like new....its hard to say without seeing it first hand...... but if prepsol and polish doesnt work then id say its semi permanant.....
