Rubbing compound is your friend. Then wax the area afterwards. If its paint fade, nothin will help that.

Could be paint fade. Best thing to so is hit it with a bummer using intensive polish, follow up with final polish. Use a good cutting pad for the IP and a much lighter cutting pad for the FP.

Also, you want to use a DA polisher. If you want, I have what you need and would be willing to give it a try. Rubbing compound is too harsh.

Well, I saw a Black, S2 pull into the parking lot with the "zoom-zoom" sticker on the top of the windshield. I'm one blind MF so I wasn't sure if it was you.

It's not as active as it should be. Theirs only a handful of 8 owners who even know what a rotary engine is.
