United-Kingdom Dirty Decals !

Hi folks
Please be gentle as this is my first post ! We have a 2004 cooper convertible and about 6 months ago I had silver bonnet stripes fitted. There are lots of little stain spots visable and none of the usual cleaning items seem to fully remove them. Any ideas or possible remedies.
Thanks

Actually, you might want to do an extensive search on here. There's been a lot of threads concerning discolouration of some stripes. Most end up with a replacement under warranty tough

a light rub with t-cut if they seem to be spots on the surface and not discolouration.. or autoglym paint renovator will do the trick and is slightly less abraisive, dont rub to hard though but this works.
