Explorer Se Decals faded. any good cures.

My explorer se pro has faded decals on the sides where it says Explorer SE. Has any one done a successful decal touch up,
What should i use to touch up the decals from the faded look which spoils the look of my SE.

Are you worried about resale ? If so that just shows a little use and no abuse . It shouldn't affect resale price , most guys buying used are just looking for good working , presentable looking machines anyway . No matter how careful you are you can only keep them looking showroom new for only so long . All tools eventually show wear . I don't think that looks bad . If you want to see something ugly and abused looking you should see my Garrett Propointer but it still works perfectly .

I was worried i might have a little bit of a problem when selling it yes. My problem is i am a bit of a perfectionist and like things to look good.
Would you say it would reduce the selling price ? I bought this from a dealer but this is the first time i have seen one with worn faded decals.

The only thing that would reduce the selling price would be if you saw fit to . I don't think that decal thing is that big a deal . If you bought it
bought it as brand new and paid full price for it then I would wonder if it had been pre-owned or used as a demo .The regular SE's have been out for more years than the ones marked Pro . I'm thinking rubbing from use ( maybe with sweat ) faded it a bit . I got over that perfectionist thing a long time ago makes life more fun .If you bought it used for a decent price and it works well and that is the only thing you see wrong with it you are way ahead of the game . There are guys out there just dying to get their hands on an good working Explorer
pretty or not . Think twice before selling it , it's an excellent detector unless the weight is killing you . I would only sell mine to get a CTX but that's not going to happen .

I've had a few of them that done that. Just means it's doing it's job out there! no worries it will sell just fine like that!

Does any one know how come the decals actually get rubbed off , i have heard that using covers can wear the decals off the sides of the SE,
loose clothing rubbing on the sides of the detector is another reason this happens so a dealer told me , but at the end of the day it means the
detector has seen many hundreds of hours use , maybe several thousand hours. This baby has been returned to the dealer .
