Whether your business vehicle has signage deteriorating or you are looking to sell your car for top value, it would be wise to have the signage removed and have your car restored to a presentable condition. Flaky old signage can be quite the eye sore and no one really wants to buy a company car with the perception that it has not been cared for like a car of your own. If you have no use for your existing or old signage, we always recommend having it safely removed as soon as possible. Much like if you spent days out under the Sun, you will inevitably get a t-shirt tan. Similarly, when you remove car signage, the longer you leave it there, the more obvious the colour difference becomes when you strip it off. You are essentially comparing paintwork from two different time periods, new and old.
There are many considerations when it comes to having your signage and stickers removed from your car. Questions such as how long it has been there, the condition of the paintwork, how strong is the adhesive and much more can often influence the end result. Have you ever ripped off a band-aid after a few weeks and noticed the imprint and colour discolouration it leaves behind? Well, that similarly happens with your car’s paintwork, except signage is more often left there for many years under the harsh sun, so you can really imagine the colour difference when it is removed. For this reason, we always perform a machine paint correction/polish to try and blend the colours the best we can and minimise any colour discrepancies. Of course, this would require your paint to be of a reasonable condition where there is sufficient clear coat on the surface to be treated. Just note that not all car signage can be treated equally, each case can be very different to one another and so the results can often at times vary. For example, the condition of the signage, age, material, type of glue, pre-existing surface, exposure to sun and so on, ultimately determine how well signage can be removed. Leaving it to late will often lower the chances of it being serviceable.
