Any advice on how to remove spots on the white spots on my white bonnet stripes on my Hyper Blue 05 MCS?

 

Hello & welcome to NAM.

You should post your question in the Detailing 101 forum. That is where you'll find your answer.

I'll ask the moderator to move you there.

 

Same spot issue here...anyone?

 

I have 'em too. Also on the roof.

 

Ditto here as well. Makes a clean "Kassy" look trashy.

 

scratch-x (available locally) and Hydro is your answer!

scratch-x is a mild polish. use a foam applicator and some
minor elbow grease. Hydro afterwards. some might
say use clay. clay might work, but might not be available
locally at all times.

 

For those of you that have pin stripes on the edges of your main stripe, be careful. The pins are usually printed on to your stripe and will rub off or lighten. I would suggest you use some blue painters tape and cover the pin. Then you can go at them as kenchan suggests. If you have a PC you can polish the stripes as well. For stubborn spots you can soak a paper towel with vinegar and treat the spots. This will also remove any wax so you will need to reapply.

 

i think those water stains are caused by the windshield cleaner.

 

i had bad spotting and nicks on my black stripes. solution, i removed them. took no more than 10 minutes with just my hands.

 

so did the scratch-x and Hydro work for ya, walkerm?

 

I second the scratch-x. Worked for me.

 

I agree. I have obvious lines across mine. Whats up with that?

I will try the scratch X.

 

You removed your stripes?

 

I think so - pics in his sig are stripeless.

my new outmotoring stripes.

 

Holy shiny-ness!

No matter how shiny my car is my stripes never look shiny. And they don't take well to polishing so I'm not sure what to do about it.

 

carnauba warmth, ML.


Griot's Best of Show wax.

 

Nah, I just see shiny

I'm thinking about switching to a U-stripe and losing the boot stripes.

But I like my boot stripes. I just don't know *sigh* :impatient

 

My white stripes looked like crap & no amount of claying or washing would help. I used that Meguiar's M80 Speed Glaze with the PC on my stripes. The M80 was not aggressive enough to improve my paint finish but it did absolutely no damage to my stripes (including the black edges) & it made my stripes look like they were brand new

 

My stripes are printed...and I discovered the last time I polished that the printed ones can only take so much. So now not only do they look like crap, but I burned a tiny spot in one through to the background color.

I did try some BW on a piece of vinyl on my POS rental...it made THAT vinyl look better so maybe I'll try that next. Not sure what else to do, except to switch from printed stripes to regular, but then I can't have the chrome pinstripe and that bothers me.

 

no~~!

 

Have you tried the famed black Sharpie repair

 

yah, but sharpies come off with wax.


how the hell do i know that?

 

It's not even like a spot...it's weird. I'll have to take a picture...but there's no fixing this with a sharpie!

 

.. wait, you got your car back already?
