    best way to remove vinyl pinstripes from a car ?

    any suggestions ?

    Often times I wonder why
    There's love and hate, theres live or die.
    When sickness comes I must decide:
    When feelings go, theres suicide.

        pour a gallon or kerosene all over your car and light it with a BBQ lighter (for safety)

              my cars been sitting in the sun so the pinstripes are soft and its peeling off easily but SLOWLY and it leaves behind adhesive residue :/

              i have some 'goo gone' type stuff to help remove the residue, hopefully it wont fuck up my paint. im going to put it on a rag and use it like that, not directly spray the shit on my car.

              this is TEDIOUS

              is there no faster way ?

              at this rate its going to take like 9 hours

                  If the pinstripes are on a newer car, you can usually heat it up with a hair dryer and they pull off pretty easy in one piece (work slowly!). If the car is older it may be more difficult. After the pinstripes are off use 3M General Purpose Adhesive Cleaner to remove any sticky residue, it works great and WON'T damage the paint!

                                  use a heat to peel back the remaining pin stripes and use vegetable oil to remove the sticky residue. the veggi oil is safe on the paint and washes off with no problems.

                                  you can thank me later.

                                        Bug gut remover might work safer.

                                          thats what I was gonna recommend. use a hair dryer or something and heat it up, slowly peel off. then rubbing alcohol should get the sticky adhesive off.

                                                thanx everyone

                                                hairdryer + goo gone worked

                                                gotta heat up the pinstripes and then slowly peel them off then use the goo gone and scrub hard to get the residue off.

                                                it took me like 2 fucking hours!

                                                it looks oh so much better now

                                                Often times I wonder why
                                                There's love and hate, theres live or die.
