    I am beginning to look at some used F cars.

    Some good cars have a pair of fake stick-on Scuderia shields, on the front fenders. {not my taste}




    After the stick-on is removed, is it possible for a paint-shop/hi-quality detailer, to [buff-out the area] where the sticky shield was placed on top of the fender ?




    What about if the sticker has been placed on the fender for twenty (20) - years ?

    I prefer original paint, if at all possible.

    So, fishing wire is good to remove the shield. Then the glue residue need to be removed. WD40 or others. If enough paint is present, a light buff with compound typically will remove any halo.

    As above! Mine had them from Ferrari; I only like the enamel shields so took them off.

    A bit of buffing/polishing was required as small amount of grit got behind the stickers.

    Horribly nasty plastic things. No idea why Ferrari would sell them,

    Some mentioned using a hair dryer to warm up the adhesive and then use dental floss to help peel back the decal. Once it’s off, follow that up with light paint polish and then a coat of wax.

    I've had good results on the glue with Goof-Off. I ve also heard of Dawn dish detergent. Thumbs up on the hair dryer and dental floss to start.
