Thanks!

Actually your car is painted, with a clearcoat. Treat it like you would a car. You could "wet sand with 2000 wet/dry sand paper" and "buff" it out. I hear "Claybar" work like sandpaper. It is always a "hit or miss" propsition when we take decals/stickers/logos off cars. Sometimes we use "Goofoff" to get rid of the glue left behind. Sounds like your more interested in "restoring" the paint finish. Good luck and keep us posted. PS -Newguy I have to agree with Mike on this one. Your body is polypropalin and I do as you said to get the inperfections out...you just don't have a "shine/luster anymore. With the later body's being paint...you have to look at it differantly.
