heat gun, goo gone, wax, maybe a buffer and alot of patience

And a bucket to sit on while peeling

It's like getting sunburned and peeling your skin off your shoulders, you get all excited when it's a big peice

best bet is lots of goo gone and patience. Unfortunately, that's just the plain truth. I did a 96 tahoe that I owned............................. in 2002. That sucked asshole! Plus it was in winter, talk about a royal pain.

I just purchased a 3M Eraser wheel. And some 3M adhesive remover. I will let you know how it goes. What about the badges? Are they easy to remove?

Heat gun works the best. Xylene works great for getting rid of the sticky. Don't forget to wax.. Unless you like the stubble.. :pounding table:

wd40 and heat gun, alot of heat, but not too much, and it should peel right back,
once you get it peeling then keep rolling it in your fingers, dont pull it far away from where it is still attached, you should be able to get bigger pieces this way,

In the fall i had to remove the old boat name off the boat i bought, what a ass pain that was..

I would suggest heat and goo gone and patience.
It took me forever to get the door guards off my 300C.

For that removal I used fishing line, blowdryer and goo gone.

I don't see how fishing line will help with a pin stripe.

Make sure you use some sort of polisher and wax afterwards to ensure surface is clean and protected.
