Help removing stripes

[AaronC]

So I got bored of my stripes on my car and removed them. they are original and have been on the car for 2 years or so. So once I removed them I removed the glue that stayed on the car, but I can still see the stripes on the car. I gave it a wash, clay bar, and did a quick pass with orange pad and 34 cg compound but didnt do anything. So I went with a 32 cg compound and still the same thing. I can still see the stripes in the paint. What else can I try or do to remove them?? any help will be truly appreciated.

They will always be there but will be less noticeable over time.

They are "burned" into the paint. That is to say the area covered by the stripes was PROTECTED from the sun. It's the paint around them that changed color.

gotcha, yeah I kept searching and everything comes back to that. That the paint needs to burn to kinda match and make it less noticeable.
