Took my racing stripes off....

Got tired of them looking grey and stained then chipping so I took them off...problem is there's visible fading now...damnit... There anyway to fix this? It's not severe but it is noticeable. I'm probably going to get a carbon fiber hood to replace my rust o matic factory one and I can get a new spoiler painted for like 150... But the trunk and roof...oy.

I did the same with mine and also have the ghost stripes. I like it, but its more noticable on my spoiler than anywhere else. As far as getting rid of it, Im going to talk to a detailer friend of mine to see what he can do. Thinking a good buffing with a mid grade compound should atleast blend the spoiler with the rest of the car.

I had the same thing when I peeled the vinyl off. I washed and waxed with no result. They did come in handy when the paint shop was figuring out where to paint the stripes.

All you need to do is polish the panels. End of story.
