Default blacking out back filler panel

mine was fadding pretty bad, the "trans am" was completely gone and the bird was on its way out....so i got some finger nail polish remover out and it got the rest of it of but the "outline" is still there....how do i get the outline off?

BTW, i might keep the outline on there cause it doesn't look that bad and kinda goes with my black on black theme

thats what the polish is for me boy!
seriously, you can get a plastic polish if you like, but I just used some zaino polish, actual swirl remover, and it worked great. If you look at polishes, most will say what type of scratches it will take out..ie:2000 grit..

Yea, I just wet sanded my whole tail lights and filler with 2000 grit. Then I used various pads and polishes with my porter cable polisher. I wouldn't do it w/o a polisher.
