180 wanabe Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 iv got them on my car 2, looks like everyone has them then. However it seems like a good thing though as I can see a couple or spots that look like they have had a few stones thrown their way and the sticker has done its job and saved the paint and taken the impact. Silver paint FTW dosent stand out that much when the car is clean Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/262593-is-this-a-sticker/page/2/#findComment-4498914 Share on other sites More sharing options...

BenzLe Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 I had taken off those stickers. Was an absolute pain to get the sticky stuff off. Dunno how I got off. I used a combination of wax, clay bar, this bur/tar remover and alot of elbow grease. Half way through taking off the sticker...I thought I shouldnt have started...but is all good now. My echo has those stickers as well...I hadnt taken it off but there are heaps of stone chips around the sticker!

V35 Matt Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 Hey Matt did you get to book in Mark from Dr.Detail? what did he say about your problem?Im removing my sticker toms! He came and saw my car. Said the white ones come up great. He said the problem was most likly the stuff is sticking to the car alot more than others because there is so many hills and vallys in the paint. I did get it off with the clay bar, but it was a stuggle. Once the car is detailed and smooth, should be a breeze to wash. Mark was great to talk with and i'll be booking it in very soon.

Should of bought from a dealer as all the problems with the car would of been covered by warranty.
