scvt99 10 Report post Posted September 2, 2014 I have a 69 Mach 1 and the hood decal has water spots. They were there when I purchased the car. What can I do to get rid of them? Thanks, Joe Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

michael2938 24 Report post Posted September 3, 2014 Out of curiosity, what hood decal are you talking about? Mach 1's have the blackout hood... are you saying that blackout is a decal? I thought it was always painted on. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

scvt99 10 Report post Posted September 3, 2014 The stripes and hood are a decal, not paint. The water spots are flat and not bubbles. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fordrevhead 29 Report post Posted September 5, 2014 If it's vinyl try Meguiars M17 plastic cleaner. If successful U may want to consider their Gold Class Trim Detailer to as a sealer of sorts. Read up on the application of this first it involves a wait time for absorbtion and wiping excess carefully. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
