    any ideas removing old stripes?

    Always had good luck with the 3M wheels ( the one with all sandwiched pads ) Used to do motorhomes all the time. Gotta charge by the hour and you can't really guarantee the finish. If they insist on a guarantee, kindly show them the door.

    Agreed, never trust the provided drawings!!!! Always double check...... everything works on paper.

  15. Putting window graphics on top of tint film?
