Vinyl Stripe
looked around and couldn't find anything on this. the vinyl stripe on my rumble bee has scratches on it. can they be taken out safely or does the stripe need to be replaced. after waxing most of them are covered but some are still there. some knowledge on this would be great. the stripe was taped off before i started taking out the swirls and scratches. i must say pinnicle works wonders on yellow.

doubtful ...if in the tape, then it is pretty much permanent. What about a sharpie (black) to hide it ??

tried that this weekend. the sharpie is flat black so it didn't work. ended up wiping it off.

You'll probably either have to live with it or get it replaced. From the looks of your avitar ... I'd live with it.

maybe try the dealer, they may have soem type of a repair kit for it, since I'm sure you're not the only one who has this problem. Its worth a shot at least...

Here's an old trick that we used to use if a guy put scratches in his Driver ( wooden golf club). Black paste shoe polish. If you can get the initial coats to lay in then just start bulding with a spit shine.

I have some small swirl like scratches in the strips on my Mini Cooper and I just hit them with my PC/Green Pad/Poly-Seal and they is 100% improvement. But I was prepare to remove them or replace them if it doesn't work Mine was to the point that I was going to do something even if it was wrong.
