So did you manage to polish out the white stripes?

That's actually the gel coat you're seeing.... after following tut on runs and getting all the paint shotblasted off!

defendall or similar is your only hope
My 111r was completely shot blasted after the Bandit and i did a few road runs together, Paine's Exige (the one that worked) took out 2 windscreens in 2 months) also.
The cost of road runs, especially if you are following someone on track tyres (48's or 888's)

Yeah, Tut is my road run Nemesis but I suppose that's the price you pay for having to follow someone because you don't know where you're going
