Best way to get rid of these painted pinstripes
I bough this truck over the winter with these awesome (sarcasm) pinstripes. I haven't tried much yet, I did try some oven cleaner and that did take some of it off, but I kinda worry that I can get carried away with that and mess up the paint.
I was thinking about maybe a cyan foam pad and something like meguiars scratch x 2.0 of another finishing compound. The paint is kinda hazy anyway and found probably use more than cleaner / sealer.
Anyone have any ideas?

Greg from Chemical Guys has a video on Youtube where he removed a painted stripe off a 5 series. He posished it out. Took a little while but he did it.

Try an enamel paint reducer.
Do a test spot 1st though!!

I've always used easy off brand oven cleaner and it has to be the original. The lemon scent or other scents don't work well. I've taken fully painted by hand truck caps with company logos. I sprayed with easy off and let it soak then it all wiped off in one shot. I'd just keep using oven cleaner if they are painted on and just polish the area after.

What polish do you recommend?

I personally now use menzerna fg400 and pf2500 to start typically. But just try what you have already. It shouldn't take too much pending how long they have been on there.
