    Hi,

    Does anyone know how to get dirty marks off the stripes on their mini?

    I have tried claying etc but this hasen't worked. They are like water marks.

    Cheers

    Is this marks after removing the stripes or actual marks on the plastic stripes them selves.

    I think it's from the stripes Ian, as in the stripes have marks on them.

    Could actually have water seeped in from the side thus staining them?

    Im not sure about polishing vinyl stripes. Perhaps mini designs sponsor on here would advize better.
    I have noticed on detailing world that folk are using very low cut polish on a P.C machine to remove swirls from vinyl so I would imagine this would do.

    If you dont have a machine then just try something that everyone can buy like autoglym super resin polish.
