Or try straight eucalyptus oil on a cotton ball and rub the residue off. You can buy it from coles or woolies in the mecidinal section. Also good for mozzie bites. It gets rid of the sticky residue or paper residue left behind by stickers. I have never used it on a car body, but its been fine on glass, walls, cupboards etc.

eucalyptus oil works for the glue left behind

but you will have to cut back that extra coat of clear

thats the only way you will get rid of it for good

without painting the door again

I wouldnt bother trying to fix it. I had a blitz access ecu sticker on my bonnet when it came into the country. After spending 6 hours picking it off (it had been baked on by the sun), i realised that it had taken the layer of clear coat off the top of the paintwork. I highly doubt a buff will fix this, ive tried everything with not even a slight reduction.

Dont think its been clearcoated onto the paint, but it being there for so long has caused it to come off with the sticker. On mine you can actually feel that the area where the sticker was on is lower than the rest of the paintwork! badness!

Are you 100% it has taken the clearcoat off mike? stickers have a tendancy to leave adhesive on the door that looks similar to that, a bit of prepsol would remove it.

I doubt they would have clearcoated over the sticker, and if they had, the sticker would have been damn near impossible to remove.

I could be wrong, but you should try some prepsol to remove residue, then a nice cut and polish to bring it back up.

memphis, im guessing its clearcoat :s , thats why i post the photo. when i remove it like clear stuff come off with the sticker.

To get it off i use hairdrier, after the sticker came off there was white stuff left behide, which i guess was glue so i use methylated spirits to remove that, but like i said above clear stuff came off with the sticker and i can also pick at it

[memphis]

I guess they must have put a very fine coat over it, grab some cut n polish and see how that goes.

Normally adhesive on the sticker is clear...

make sure you get stuff thats clearcoat safe, you may need to get some 2000 wet n dry and cut back the clear a bit, then polish it. If you dont feel safe doing this a detailer can do it, but they charge alot.

thanks memphis

if u know any good detailers, u can recommend can u plz pm me them details (also if its in the magla that would be good)

also i have notice that when i feel the area the area which has the nismo is lower compair to the rest of the door (if u get me)

we have 2 good car detailers in RICE.

both of which do a bang up job and have done show cars etc. They even did the hopman cup cars earlier this year....
