Tape on car

[Pops Fun]

Hi
I have 2 strips of wide tape on my car and it looks bad, has lost it's shine.... any ideas. Can I save it with some product or do I take it off and put new on??

are you talking about the vinyl stripes? you can try to buff them out. i have had some success buffing them, but you need to very careful you dont get them hot, or catch an edge.

I tried a little rubbing compound just scratched it??

try a lighter compound.....too aggressive compound could leave scratches.

Instead of a lighter compound, try a less-aggressive method (or two) first... in an inconspicuous area for testing purposes...

I'd try a trim detailer like Back-to-Black that will help restore the life to the vinyl.

Or if you have a synthetic cleaner wax such as FX SynWax or NXT, try that.

Finally tried it with Mothers back to black. thanks
