you guys are right, i think ive grown to not like them, i saw a pic of elittes tt in the parking garage again and want to take the stickers off...

however... the imprints will still be there and the outlines... what do you think i will have to do to refresh the paint and make it so you wouldnt be able to tell the stickers were there?

Buffing will take care of it...depending on the color. There's some products u can do by hand . Apply like a wax. .. Ur arms will be rubber when ur done !!

Unless they were on for a pretty long time and the car was in the sun a lot, you should be ok. I would just take them off and (maybe) buff it out.

Don't take it the wrong way but if uv never buffed.. DON'T !! You can burn threw the clear and then u have to re-spray clear! Not cool!! I'd go and try a 3M rubbing compound. Then use meguiars swirl remover. Instructions are on the back of the bottles.. And apply with micro fiber towels!! U will need 2 of em. One to put on and the other to take off the product!! Like I said. Ur arms are going to be rubber !!! But that's the cheapest/ safest way!!

uhh, a little harsh... lets steer clear of the rubbing compound, that can be a last resort.

get the stickers off, do a good job of cleaning the car as best you can, and then claybar the car. Wax it afterwards.

if worse comes to worse i can always take it to someone and have them buff it out
