Sticker removal..
Wanna get rid of the gay-faster stripes on my car that the previous owner had on...i started to slowly peel off at the back and it's left some shit behind and in some places the paint has slightly faded..What would get rid of this and buff the paint back to original colour? machine polishing?

If you don't have tardis, use WD-40. Any polish ought to bring it back tbh.

I have to take stickers off cars at work all the time, the best thing to use is a hot high pressure jetwash but if cant get on of these to use the next best thing would be a heat gun. when the sticker is off use 'tar and glue' to remove any leftover glue, then you can use any colour restoring polish to bring the paint back up, but the best thing to use would be g3 it is expensive but works the best and can also be used to remove small scratches on your car.

Don't get the paint too hot with a heat gun though or you'll be taking off more than a sticker.

no, don't ever use Tcut FFS.
WD40 / hairdryer (NO heat gun) / machine polishing.
