I'm not sure if goo gone or the like is safe on car paint (probably not) but try something like that.

3M makes some great adhesive remover.I think you can get at walmart or almost any major auto parts store.I used it when I took the factory stripes of my Toyota pickup it worked great.Also I'm glad to hear your finally removing that stripe.

buy one of those pinstriping removers from an auto store...it's like an eraser like material that goes in a drill and is the only way to do it....i think there are ones safe for clearcoat also....good luck

yeah those look sweet. i think youll just want to heat the strip up with a heat gun or at worst a hair dryer and pull it back. i hope the FL sun didnt fade the paint around it...

if ur having trouble taking it off use some medium temp. laquer thinner, itll take it off easy and wont harm the paint. make sure to polish the paint when ur done too

lol i used to work at a detailing shop and one of the main things we did was strip cop cars and security vans of their vinyls and stickers.. to get it off you'd use a heat gun and to remove the glue you use varsol (cudnt tell u wut kind but test an area on your car to check if its safe first) or a cutting cream . . that shud do it altho varsol is the most affective
