As a business that sells vinyl graphics I will tell you what I send to all my customers as far as care of these products.
The short of it, wash with a mild diluted car wash soap, never power wash, dry with microfiber LIGHTLY, and once dry you can use a SILICONE or Teflon Based Polish designed for vehicle graphics. Here you go: http://www.digwraps.com/proddetail.php?prod=WrapPolish That to me, looks like overspray from the body shop. Do not listen to them, they will not admit if they screwed up. Those should have been covered using a light tac masking tape and paper! If it IS overspray, they will need to replace them. This is a good time to go for painted stripes, I am sure they will work out a deal for you, if you like them enough to go permanent! If the stuff I listed above does not work to restore, they were damaged at the body shop!

Thanks for the responses, everyone! I think I am going to take these off in the spring, and get painted or glossy vinyl stripes, depending on if I can get my brother to do the painting. He just repainted our dad's '69 Camaro (also red w/black stripes) and did an excellent job!

Bodyshop manager explained to me that they basically spray the whole car with a spray mask to prevent overspray from getting on the car. Then they take it all off. They claimed that what I felt and thought was overspray, was actually the spray mask. I don't know how much of the car they taped off.

flat black or flat paint on a car is such a bad idea I'd remove them now and paint . If you can, in a couple years I worry that everyone who got the flat stripes put on will have similar issues but much worse

I think she is saying If I May.... that the painter said that he sprayed the car down with a "spray Mask"so they can save a step of taping off the whole car. any over-spray will wash away with the "spray mask" when washed off never heard of that before.....

You are correct Susantroy, that was my understanding. And they didn't get it all washed off twice. I'd never heard of it before either, but then I don't do bodywork.
