That's why it took you forever. You shouldn't use a heatgun when you use fishing line. It makes the 3m tape gooey and very hard to work with. The only time you use a heat gun is with a razor blade or using just your hands which will usually break the emblem

i used fishing line on one side and didnt care for it. on the other side i used the heatgun and it was easier. using heat took more of the tape off at once in bigger clumps. what took a long time was the last thin layer of residue that i sat and picked off,then washing and waxing i spent just under 2 hours for all of them (debading,washing,waxing). wasnt trying to be speedy sorry DIRTYD. next time i will consult you on the fastest way to do it.

i picked up a 3 speed buffer/waxer and the mothers powerball from a autobody store today. the truck came out better than it ever did by hand, i had to do the last 3 stage wax before the winter ( helps i have a heated garage to do it in too )the powerball was awesome for the rims.chome grill and my exhaust tips. def worth the $$$ for both
