Have you tryed Autoglym Paint Renovator that worked a treat when i did mine

if you still have sticker residue, try autoglym TAR remover

worked on mine

you need to put a bit of pressure into your rubbing with a soft cloth

yer thats what iv been using wich braught up the gray patch

 

[mcjacko1987]

its been a good few weeks now and the gray patch and ghost letters are still there. its been washed a few times since but no change. i realised the tcut i used wasnt metalic. could this have caused the mess?

Looks like the colour has faded over the years, leaving factory fresh paint under the bumper and sun eaten paint everywhere else.

Polishing will help slightly by removing any remaining glue and marks but wont do a great deal to the colour as you are polishing the lacquer clear coat, not the colour coat.

Theres not really a great deal you can do, although a good polish and wax will give it a deep shine which will most likely cover it nicely.
