Vinyl Roof

How can I remove a scratch from the material I wrapped my roof with, it happens to be vinyl?

You cant remove a scratch from vinyl. Only way to fix it is revinyl the roof or learn to live with the scratch

So my car had to go in for service and I really only had 1 request that I articulated very clearly.... DO NOT WASH!

Well I picked up my car today and it had a half *** wash from some teenager. When I asked him if they washed the car he said "Yes we washed it and we were told to spend extra time and detail it real good"

Well... it was a **** poor wash, looked like they washed the damn thing with a scotch brite and there were so many missed spots, dirty water streaks, only the faces of the wheels were touched, not the sides of the spokes.
Anyway, rant over.
My question. they swirled the **** out of my vinyl roof and I was wondering if there is any way to remove the swirls because there is no clear coat. Will polish do anything?


Grr.. and the service manager offered to have "his guys do a full detail and buff it out"

I was like thanks but no thanks, you already blew it by letting them wash it I'm not going to trust you to "detail" my car.

If the car is here in VA Id be more than happy to take a look at it for you. I do high end detailing in the NOVA area.
