Title: Care and feeding of Vinyl Graphics?
Post by: gentlegiant on November 16, 2005, 03:31:49 PM
Many beloved Pintos have "cool" vinyl graphics.  What are the best
proceedures for caring for these aging "beauty marks"?

I know for faded paint a good buff with rubbing compound can work
wonders, but how do you "shiney up" the faded vinyl?

I don't know of a "good" way to do it. I have seen some people do things I will not even mention here.

My sign sponsor is awsome with graphics. There might be a sign shop near you that can dup. the ones you need. For me, it would depend on how bad the things were for me to replace them.

My "Tigger" car has the Shinoda Boss stripe package on it.  The hood decal tends to become dull at times.  Some normal car wax seems to keep them shiney and tends to hide some of the damage from debree.  The car will be 10 years old next syear so they are not super old.  They are not cracking or peeling yet.  I am probably not much help :(
