Hello folks,
My old uncle stopped using the bonnet bra he had for his E46. Instead he placed a couple of strips of clear masking tape over each other, horizontally across the front of his bonnet, between grille and BMW badge.
It was on there nearly a fortnight and he's had a job peeling it off. It's left behind 3 feint dark horizontal lines and I've tried polishing and using cutting compound to no avail. They are barely visible on the silver metallic paint from certain angles.
What could have caused it and is there anything I could try, short of a re-spray?
I suspect trapped moisture played a part and wonder if over time the lines will go?
