Cleaning new BG caddy

First time cleaning my caddy and I need to remove signage that seems to have a ghost print after removing. Also got some blue t cut for the fine scratches ect.

I was going to go with

Snow foam
Rinse
Shampoo
Rinse
T cut
Shampoo
Rinse
Wax


Is this over kill or should I be using another product on the ghost writing? I’ve been told the t cut will remove that though ?

It depends on how badly ghosted it is I think. I have an ex BG van with the same issues. I couldn’t get rid of them with my machine (I’m no expert I must add)
Having spoke to the guy who does any painting I need doing, he reckoned it was too far gone and recommended having it blown over.
By all means give the T-Cut a go and see how you get on. Keep us updated too

I'd strip it right back using a clay bar... to get the best result before you go adding any polish or wax to it.
I had what looked like ghosting turned out to be glue left over from the vinyl claying got rid of it.
