When we purchased our 02 3280RL, the decals were toast, and finish was oxidized. Found new decals on EBay, very close to originals. Removed decals using Scotch-Brite 07517 and buffer. Took 3 days to remove....PITA. Major shadow where graphics used to be. New decals won't stick to oxidation.

Used orbital sander 320 grit to remove oxidized areas where new decals would go. Then wet sanded with 400, 600, and 1,000 grit. Finished new decal areas with wool bonnet on buffer using polishing compound.

Applied new decals. Decided to let newly polished areas to naturally oxidize since polishing entire rig was out of the question. After 1 1/2 years, looks good. Polished areas have begun to oxidize making finish pretty even again.
