Ok so when I bought my car it had some shops graphics on it. I've removed the graphics only to have the imprint still visible. I've washed waxed yada yada yada. Wondering if I should get a wet sand done. What do ya'll think.

Do a good buff with compound and polish, should take it right off. Or try wiping it down with a wax and grease remover first, I worked in a body shop for a few years, any company cars or anything with decals like that, this is how I got rid of them. I can't recall the name of the compound I used, but it was by 3m, and smelled like bubblegum. When you buy rubbing compound, go with a finer cut, and get a good machine polish. Wax when your done to avoid any swirls!

I would suggest hitting it with some water w/ dish soap to strip off any wax oils etc, then a claybar before hitting it with a cutting pad and compound. Really you should claybar it before buffing it with compound anyway to keep from adding additional scratches.
