    Just get it panted or learn to live with it.

    that ghosting will never go away.

    a more important thing to make sure one removes is, those nasty skid marks on underwear. kinda embarrassing at the local house of ill repute to have that show.

    So why start a thread about it? It's everyday everywhere and it isn't going to change. What is your point?

    my momma used to say, "stop wearing your golfing underwear"..

    i guess, them having 18 holes was the reason why..????

    Yeah the holy shorts. Patch beside another patch is OK, but one on top of another is just plain tacky.

    Just thinking somebody would take a bit more pride in their equipment?

    The lettering on the trailer I pull is visable barely. The trailer was chemical cleaned and shined up but the ghosting of the previous owners lettering is there to stay . I owned 6 cargo trailers in my previous business and most decals leave ghosting , especially in the Tx sun .

    You got that right, 20 years in the Texas sun did a good job of fading on the clearcoat.
