Oliver1 Posted April 16, 2018 Posted April 16, 2018 I removed my Westfield big sticker on the rear of my car and as expected, there is a fair bit of rubbing from where the spare wheel has been ( see photo). I don’t really want another big sticker but how successful do you think I could be in polishing this out or at least making it a fair bit better? Quote
Matta Posted April 16, 2018 Posted April 16, 2018 You could always fit the number plate over it. That's what I did. Matt Quote

Robin Parker (Red Spider) - Yorkshire AO Posted April 16, 2018 Posted April 16, 2018 Is it gelcoat or paint? Scratches can be polished out of gel. Start with a compound and move on to finer compounds and finish with a polish. If the scratches are deep you might need to use fine wet or dry paper first. But don't go too far with the paper, the gelcoat might not be very thick. Quote

Sorry, I was looking at the photo on my crappy phone and didn't notice how much there was. As Robin says, assuming it's gelcoat, very fine wet and dry, then cutting compound and polish will get a lot of it out. Quote

Cover 2 with the number plate as you say and the other 2 with well placed stickers Quote
