I got RTR style stripes on my stang and I am not sure about the hood stripe, I got it fit good but under the decal theres dirt. As a result I have little bumps but at the same I feel the hood stripe takes away from the muscle of the hood?

Im also affraid that when I squeegeed the decal on those peace of dirt/debris might of moved around and scatched the hood.








Photoshop guess

Yah or Nah For hood stripe?

 

Remove all of it, but that's just me.

 

I would leave just the side stripe then paint the calipers to match

 

Remove the hood stripes, keep the rest

 

I actually like the stock photo better, with no stripes and stock wheels. I'd put stripes on my head before I put stripes on my car.

 

Take the stripes off!

 

This.

 

I like the side stripe. The hold strip takes away from it, I guess it's too big?

 

I dig it. I vote yay.

 

Did you not clean it before you put it on? Should've gotten out the ol' clay bar. But either way, any scratches should be very minimal. I'm not a fan of either of the stripes, but the side stripe with the calipers painted could look interesting...

 

remove the stripes

 

Yep......remove them all.

 

The Result




And.... a **** ton of swirl marks

How do I get these guys off? I've clayed and waxed buff maybe?

Used WD40 and Microfiber cloths to get the left over decal glue off.

 

What are you trying to remove? Swirls?

 

Swirls now.

 

Paint correction. Lots and lots of work if you decide to do it yourself. Best advise, pay a good detailer specializing in paint correction. We have a few threads in car care section. I just did mine. Still not as nice as I want it to be but much better. Took me 4 days and buffer and chemicals costed me over $300. I would pay a pro and never look back.

 

I think your car looks better without the stripes.

 

Clay Bar then Pinnacle XMT 360 with a coat of 360 Finishing Glaze is my fav for swirl remover!

 

Your Stang looks better with the hood stripe gone. Starting to really appreciate the sculpted 2010-2012 hood.
