cool, i'll have to look into the clay bar. never used one but sounds really good to use. pin stripe? wheres that stripe at?

 

if you are talking about that rubber strip running along the doors, those have adhesive stripsalong the edges. it is basically two strips, one top one bottom

 

i've never put up pics and don't know how. here we go. here's some pics from today.

After I removed plastic piece and washed tailgate before erasing


Removing side emblems


Before I erased it, really thick adhesive


Erasing 10 mins into, those strips were stubborn


Don't worry about the marks, thats why you have goo gone


Removed stickers, wiped with goo gone


Erasing door


After


After first day, ghosting. Will clay bar tomorrow

 

looks great man !! good job the black peice on the tailgate is a bitch i hated that part lol

 

appreciate it man. hell yeah, that damn plastic piece was a PITA! that's what consumed most of my day and the eraser wheel! i'm real **** though so if it wasn't to a high enough standard (with the little budget I have) i was gonna keep going.

 

I just debadge my 02 a couple of weekends back. Only took me a couple hours. My 95 is also debadged. They look way better, in my opinion. After I got them off I just used bug and tar remover to get the ghosting and specks off. Just try to peel the adhesive off before spraying anything on it. Mine just peeled off, most of them in one piece. Wasn't as difficult as I thought. One of these days I'll post the pics.

 

finished..put pics up later..

 

Day 2: Went a lot quicker, the tailgate was the worst and took the longest. Today only took 1hr 30mins.
