Default sticker removeal

Just a quick question.

If I remove the stickers from my car, that have been there for 7 years, how much work am I looking at to get rid of the marks left behind ie colour difference.

Will a tcut and polish remove these differences or is it going to be noticable where they used to be?

only thing tcut is good for is the bin imo. get some menzerna rd3.02 (intensive polish) from polished bliss along with a german applicator pad. Chances are it'll be a fair amount of work that you may not even correct. depends if the car has been sat outside in strong sunlight so that the paint not covered could have faded.

the other thing you'll need to do is correct the uncovered paintwork from washing marks and general RIDS. best bet would be to remove and wetsand the whole car and then polish back up.
