Help!Removing OEM ugly Stripe!

[finch13]

1. Goo Gone
2. Wash
3. Claybar
4. Wash
5. Polishing Compound (Might as well do the entire car)
6. Wash
7. Wax.
8. Enjoy

Probably the steps I'd take if it were my own car. I'd stay away from products like Goof Off or mineral spirits or anything eslse with petroleum distillates in it, as it may cloud the clear coat or strip it right off. Petroleum distilles = pretty much anything that has potent fumes and removes stuff.

PS - It's a pinstripe and it's just simple glue. Think of it as a sticker thats been on the car for almost a decade.

go to oreily's find a can of adhesive remover.
it was $13 a can
i can't remember the exact name of it but it is some badass stuff, it like causes cancer too so be careful...lol
if it helps any, it has like a cartoon guy taking a big sticker off a van on it.

A clay bar is good, but you need to buy one and they are expensive. An orange works just great. It wasnt a joke fellas....use the orange oil from the peal

I think, since he has to ask, that this is a bad idea... I could foresee a "Help! I burned through my paint!" thread in the future.

IF YOU WANT TO BE CHEAP! GO TO THE STORE, BUY YOURSELF ONE ORANGE, PEAL THE ORANGE AND TRY TO KEEP THE SKIN IN ONE OR TWO PEICE. sQUEEZ the oil onto the glue and rub it around. It will come off, then afterwards you can eat the orange. They use orange oil in most glue removal products....

HAHA Alrite this seems cool!
