Default stipe care?

Just got my car back from the shop, had matte black stripes installed, that i got from american muscle. Notice light scratches, guessing from trying to get the bubbles out. any way to make them less noticeable? This has probablly been asked before, I tried to search. thanks for any help.

It sounds like these are just marks that were caused by the install. Can you post up some pictures so we can check you what you're dealing with?

Dang. That's more than some "light scratches" in my book. I'd be pissed with the shop. Looks like marks from the application to me as well but that shouldn't have happened.

Going back to that shop and getting your money back should help.
