Badges:
1. Park in the sun
2. Slide dental floss behind the badge
3. Peel remaining glue residue
4. Goo Gone or Rubbing Alchohol to remove further residue
5. Wash area and apply wax or polish
Pinstripes (Tape):
1. Heat the stripe with a hair dryer.
2. Peel the stripe slowly, pulling it off at a 90-degree angle while heating the next section. Do not overheat the paint, or it will be more likely to chip.
3. Use a plastic putty knife if you don't have long fingernails, but be careful not to scratch the paint.
4. Put some multipurpose cleaner and lubricant, such as WD-40, on a scrubbing pad (the type with a net covering) and rub off the leftover adhesive.
5. If the stripes are old, they may not peel off easily, even with heat. Soak them with WD-40 for 15 minutes and then try scraping.
6. Wash the car thoroughly with mild soap.
7. Wax and enjoy!
Pinstripes (Painted):
You'll need:
1. Masking tape
2. Paper
3. (1) can of Easy-Off oven cleaner (use the yellow can)
Test this on the gas cap door first just to make sure it wouldn't damage the paint (it's a lot cheaper to get that small door painted versus having a whole panel painted).
Use the masking tape and paper and mask off above and below the pin stripe... working on only 2-3 feet at a time.
Spray on the Easy-Off and let it soak in for about 2-3 minutes then take a rag and just wipe it off. You shouldn't even have to rub it off...it should just wipe right off with the foam from the Easy-Off. Then remove the tape and paper and use a wet rag to clean up the area. Water neutralizes the Easy-Off. Make sure you wear gloves. It's EASY.
, and the new door or whatever they did has the symbol painted over with clear coat; now that I stared at it they did a horrible job... Wish I had a better camera or I'd zoom in and show you.. Regardles the pictures are in the photobucket, sorry for the bad resolution on the close up of the symbol. Any ideas?
