Removing traces of gov liquidation

I bought a pickup once with a lot of painted on signage on it. Everyone told me I would have to repaint the whole truck, no way to get it off. Well, a little buffing compound, a few rags, and a lot of hand applied elbow grease on the lettering and avoiding the body paint did the trick. I suspect if you are careful you won't affect the CARC much in the process.

CARC paint has the texture of 150-180 grit sand paper.

While you can remove the GL grease marker from the peaks, the valleys still hold the remains.

Using a polishing compound to remove the marker would effectively remove the paint also.

A mixture of MEK and mineral spirits and a stiff short haired nylon bristle brush will remove the marker, but you will need to blend it in to the adjacent area as you will also be removing some paint.
