Dealer Sticker Outline

[RedRider17]

I have a quick questions. I was working on debadging the tail of my truck and removing the sticker that the dealer had put on it and when I finished I noticed there was a nice outline of the dealer sticker left on the paint. The worst part of it, the letters left weren't from the dealer I bought it from, but rather the dealership it was at before it went to the one I got my truck at. It looks like they scratched up the paint and faded it trying to remove the old dealers sticker to put theirs on. Has any one had this problem and been able to buff it out? Any chance I can get the dealer to cover this? Sorry for the poor pic quality but it's hard to get it. It's not really noticeable unless you get up close and look at it or from the right angle but I'm real picky and it's going to bug the hell out of me.

 

You can really see in the first pic the small horizontal scratches

I'd say claybar the area and see if it wont wax/polish out. I removed my dealer sticker about 4 weeks ago and had some glue residue, but it came right off with the claybar and wax.

 

Good luck

I had that problem when I pulled the 4x4 stickers off. The tempation is to work on it until you see results. I would leave it alone for a week let the paint breathe (i call it). Then I would go slow with some scratchx,polish and wax. It should come off, just dont force it

I hate when dealers put stickers on the vehicle! The plastic license plate frames are bad enough, but I can trash those pretty easy. I have the dealer remove those stickers before I sign on the line. If they refuse, I tell them that I don't want to be a rolling billboard for them and walk. Hopefully you can buff that out; I know it doesn't seem that bad but it would bug the snot out of me, too.

M105, followed by M205. If you dont have acress to these detailing supplies you should be able to pickup some med or heavy cut compound at the auto parts store. meguires/mirror glaze line makes these. The Heavy and Med cut will break down into a polish as you work it. The m105 and m205 will not break down, and m105 will leave some hazing that will need to be polished out (thats what m205 is for).

Thanks guys ill see what I can find. I know it looks pretty minor but when you buy a new truck you expect everything to be perfect on it.
