I hate pinstripes on any car. Those swirls look girly. I hate it even worse than normal pinstripes. Take them off! LOL Beautiful car though

Ha ha yeah, i bought the car this way about 7 months ago the guy was defiantly into unique. Well i did a test spot and got them off but there seems to be a line where they used to be. Any suggestions on how to get rid of that?
