post this up in the car cleaning area mate... you could poss paint it over and then Sand it down and then polish it…. don’t think it will ever look perfect but would be much better than it is and also stop any more damage …..

Same way as you get rid of stone chips

How did that happen? Did you heat the graphics up first using a hairdryer?

Just looked at your profile was that the "swoosh" graphic

yeah i was using a hairdryer, just peeling it back gently but then it just pulled a little bit of paint off and wouldnt stop! it was the big swoosh on the door, it also happened another 3 times, on the wing , a little on the back door and rear wing, but only on the one side :/ i guess it could have been a whole lot worse

the car has been resprayed in the past, badly, that is why the paint peeled off.

only thing you can do is have it repainted, properly
