You need to T Cut wax the van to get the shadows off. Worked on a vauxhall combo i got as my first van.

G3 compound is better than T cut, its more abrasive, it can be used as is but its best to wet the panel being worked on first as it makes it easier to work with, any local automotive paint supplier will stock it, a tube costs about 5 quid and will do several cars/vans,saves the arm ache of T cut if your doing the job by hand, finish off with a hard wax to protect the finish Andy

if writing is still on make it warm [ not to hot ] with a hair dryer it will peel off then go over with T cut

as the post above says use G3 or another rubbing compound, t cut is not heavy enough. then polish with auto glym super resin polish

T cut works fine, done about 5 vans with this and takes the shadow off well.
