Graphics

The vinal that he used should certainly last a lot longer than the crap stuff used by Carthago.👍
My Carthago graphics were a disgrace on this high end van. The exterior should be as good as the interior but in the case of Carthago that's not the case. My side graphics are quality but the names were very bad. I changed them all in 2015 and they are still immaculate.

For some reason the side vinal stained badly from the rain 2018 model the actual CARTHAGO word with the red flash through it was not done right in the first place our new ones the red is not under the wording as the two colours expand at different rates causing them to lift.
 
Overlaying different vinyl colours has alway been a big mistake. Red has always been the most difficult in the sun as it breaks down quickly as do red cars. I've never overlayed vinyl
Here's how I make the Carthago text (see photo).
You're stained vinyl could clean up with a very gently polish or mild tcut. Try on a very small section first.

That’s exactly what he’s done 👍 I tried everything to bring the vinal back but gave up and replaced it so done now🙂
 
Pleased you have managed to sort it out. It's very frustrating when trying to find someone who'll take the time to copy and replace graphics.

Well now he has the artwork for the plotter it should be a much quicker job for any other Carthago owners going there.

Sorry to bring up an old post but could I ask, did you find it difficult to remove the decals? Also what did you use and did you notice any fading or sun damage once removed? I ask as I have the exact same model and the decals on mine are a disgrace, I am also finding it very difficult to find any firm locally who can help with replacement. Thanks!
