I have recently bought a solid black classic, fitted with graphics that were not my taste. today i have removed them, but there is now an oultine around where they where, I presume this is a build up of wax?

please suggest how to remove these?

The paint appears quite soft, and I am worried about using anything to abrasive.

cheers yvm

 

Autoglyms Tar remover

 

Strong degreaser like P21S Total Auto Wash if it's wax, or and decent glue and tar remover if it's sticker residue; Autoglym Glue & Tar Remover is good as suggested above.

 

What he said, I've used it for this job. It's called "Intensive tar remover", can be got from Halfrauds....

 

going back to stealth then?

another shout for p21s TAW. great stuff. would lend you some Neil but i've run out and need to order some more.

 

just to add. what ever you use, you'll need to make sure you give the car a good polish and wax after. personally i'd claybar the car after you've removed the residue and then give a good polish and a decent wax. you'll be stripping all the protection from the paint with the tar remover.

 

Cheers Matt, I already have some P21, and i will get the suggested tar remover before i go up to Mocom to clean the car.

Oh yes it will be polished and waxed once clean, got some great products from Polished Bliss for the wagon, JEFFS Werkstatt Acrylic Kit, also looks good on Black.

And yes, done the graphic thing, now back to Steathy, even more so than before

 

jeffs stuff is great. i have the carnuba kit. have some zymol creame wax now too if you want to lay some of that down before the acrylic kit?

more stealth than before
