Default Vinyl shadow

My girlfriend in all her wisdom decided to stick some vinyl flower stickers on her white clio in the summer. She has since decided she wants to sell the car.

Last weekend i got the hairdryer out an heated the stickers up so they came off then washed the car and got the remaing glue residue off.

Once the car was dry i noticed that there is a shadow effect where every sticker was and it wont budge with shampoo.

Just after some advice how to shift the shadded / shadow areas that they have left.

Cheers

Tim.

Will most likely need a good polish i'm afraid. May come out by hand may not. clay the surface first and then re-inspect. A good polish such as menzerna intensive polish on the white side of a german applicator pad should do the trick. then seal the paint back up with a good acrylic or wax lsp. all available from polished bliss
