I’m finishing up on removing the tribal decals. The Wakesetter letters came off super easy and the 3M Cutting/wax stuff is doing a nice job of making the ghosting go away. There really wasn’t a ton of ghosting anyway. Here is the question, the Wakesetter “logo” on the middle is a bit of a different story. Because on that the background sticker and the raised decal both touch the gel, where the raised logo touched it looked like it discolored the clear coat. it is kind of tough to see because of the metal flake, but if you do look straight on you can see it. I started with 1000, then 1500, and polished/waxed to see if that would help. I think it might have helped a bit, but not enough. so my question, how much is too much and how do you tell? I cant tell if the adhesive has discolored the clear coat all the way down or not. I have read you can get pretty aggressive, but I’m a bit nervous. I have a torq 10fx and have only been running it at 1500rpm. Thanks! The first pic is what I ended up with after about 20 minutes of 1000, to 1500, to polish/wax. The second is where I started.
