Pinstrip removal question
I just recently removed my pinstriping,and after a few wash and wax sessions you can still see where it previously was in some areas.My question is, will it just wear off in time or is their something i could us to clear it off completely?

I THINK its because the paint underneath the sticker has never seen sunlight, it is happening to me right now cause on saturday i shaved the "maxima" sign off the trunk and can still see a slight shadow. i heard of this before but give it some time, i dont know how long but the paint should blend in after it bakes in the sun for a bit ( I HOPE cause the shadow i got is not cool)

Are you sure it is not dirt built up around the edges? To make sure do a small inconspicuous spot with rubbing alcohol and see if it goes away... if it is from the rest of the car being sunbleached... I don't think you'll ever quite get it the way you want it, without a repaint.
Oddly enough I just removed mine not too long ago off of my 93VE and there is almost NO trace of it ever being there... Only in very specific shades of sunlight will you be able to see something, but other than that it's smooth.
Hopefully it's just dirt for you too...

I just helped my friend remove pinstriping off of his Avalon. There was a slight discoloration under the previous striping. I think a mild polish should remove it. We just waxed over it. Anybody else would never notice it.

What was Nissan thinking anyway? A lot of "nice" cars don't come with pinstripes anymore.

Once I remove them, I'll post some pics of the car, it will look sweet
