Grafitti removal from 2017 Jayco

My new 5th wheel has graffiti visible only in certain lighting conditions. Someone has tried to remove it but no one will fess up (Camping World or the factory). What can I use to continue the removal process without damaging the exterior?....HELP!!!

I would try a good coat of wax.

I had read your other thread, and although we can't see it (include a couple of pics!), it sounds like they were mostly successful in getting rid of it. I would take the unit to a reputable autobody shop (there is one in my area that specialises in RV's but any one should do). They have the skills to remove paint from a surface like that, and can probably buff out and rewax the surface to finish the job. You might be pleasantly surprised at how cheap the job is when it DOESN'T involve an insurance adjuster. If nothing else, the will tell you in the quote how serious the issue is, and perhaps provide some clues as to how to repair it if you want to do it yourself. Estimates are generally free.

I would recommend a good detailer instead of a body shop... usually the people working at body shop are more in a hurry to finish the job, and the quality of the finish might suffer (seen way too many horror stories on the detailing forums I visit). Detailers are more inclined to give you a perfect finish as they are usually obsessive about what they do!

And probably less expensive too. Although I did say a REPUTABLE body shop - which aren't always that easy to find.
