Paint thinners good quality and soft white cloth,do a small area at a time and use very little thinners,otherwise you will strip the paint off the car.Finish with car polish,done it many times with great success

Hello, I doubt whether you would ever get asked to remove this, people would just go to a body shop. I would'nt even touch it without firstly qualifying the customer as to limited results and a signature on a quote stating this. If it was'nt perfect you would be paying for the respray else, which is what they really want. I'd quote at least £250 to make it worthwhile.

You would charge much more than £250 as you have to think of the damage to trim and rubbers as these are not always stripped on a respray thus saving the insurance company money,I no norwich union use a firm which travel to approved norwich union body repair centers and do avery good job on all accounts .
Also you would need to give the car a run over with the polishing mop and cutting compound then a final polish with cutting polish that alone would cost around £80 .
