Decal Removal

You will not be able to get rid of the fade lines. That is the effect of the UV exposure. Over time as the newly exposed area now gets the same exposure it will lesson the effect but its not in the top layer of clearcoat so the buffing and waxing will only help if the exposed area is oxidized. The pigments in the base coat and fiberglass fade and the only easy way to fix it is a larger decal over the same area otherwise you can repaint or wrap the unit.

Same thing happens to cars if you a buy a new car you can remove the decals in the first year with virtually no shadowing.

This is also a common problem if you get your vehicle wrapped for marketing and then remove the wrap after 2 years any spots not covered by the wrap will have faded and cause the uneven shadowing in the paint.

I removed the peeling Bounder stickers on our MH. Used Bar Keepers Friend and scotch bright pad, equal to "0" steel wool. If you know where to look and look hard enough you can see a faint outline of the old sticker. Most people will never notice though. This is on fiber glass not a painted surface.

I actually used the scotch bright and Bar Keepers Friend on the whole rig before applying Zep wet look floor polish.

Go to a boat/marine shop and buy some 3M restorer. It will take the oxidation on the exposed parts aaway.

Look on the internet for this: "Buff Magic". I used it on my 13 year old rig last year and man what a difference it made. Follow the directions on the can. best if you use a 4" buffer, and work in a small area.Buff the area until the paste is all used, like you can't see it any more. And then wipe it off with a clean towel.

Maybe rubbing compound or one of those light cleaning kits go slow


GOOD LUCK
