shaving side molds help
 

Removed the side molds off my car, but how do i get the sticky shit off of my car, it's all gray and shit like that. Will goo-goo works? will wd-40 works?

use wd-40 or GrafixGone

Thanks for quick reply!!!!

Hey...how hard is it to take off the side moldings...and how long did it take?

I just recently removed mine. I used this stuff called Goof Off, you can get it at Walmart in the paint area. It is not a hard thing to do, you just have to have patience as it takes a long time to remove all the glue. I spent a total of about 3-4 hours on the process. Hope this helps, and this is a worthwhile thing to do to your car.

Great...thanks a lot.

I took mine off as well. I used the goof off and it works fairly well. It took me about 4-5 hours to do mine.

I bought some stuff called wipe away, but it didnt seem to work very well. But i didnt work it for hours.

it's a little hard work, been on it for like 7 hours (on and off and on and off)... i'm about to grow some blisters as i can feel it.... ohh... but the result are sweet.

Well worth it. Used heat gun and stuff like goo gone, but better - orange stuff at Walmart near the bug spray. It comes in a windex-looking bottle...

can u take the moldings offa a first gen?

What did you guys use to take it off? Just your fingers?

<<What did you guys use to take it off? Just your fingers?>>

yeah, pretty much... but it can be a pain in ass... after a while, i used a terry's towel wrapping around the finger and go from there.... if you want to do something like this, be prepare and have a few hours to do this mod. this is the far cheap mod i ever done.

I used a terry towel soaked in goof off to make it soft and easy to take off. Then slowly but surely peel it off. It will be very sticky though.

i peeled a small section off of the side molding and using a standard white terry cloth soaked in water and "oops" to get the sticky stuff off and i noticed tiny tiny scratches in the paint, anyone else get scratches? i don't want to continue if i'm gonna have a line down each side of the car with little scratches...........

When I used the Goof Off it left no scratches or any damaging marks.

I mighta got one or two very small minor scratches that are barely noticeable. Once you wash your car and clean it off they should come off. Or there is also that Scratch X stuff from meguiars and other scratch removing antidotes. I say do it!

i think i will do it...........next week... gotta get some goof off though this "oops" stuff doesn't work too good,

Yea goof off is some strong stuff. You must be at least 18 to buy it.

is there any hole in the side of the car are the modling just glues on or screwed in or pinned in also.

No holes --just really strong tape

is there any chance i tear/rip the paint off by pulling?

maybe just be real careful and do it when its real hot out
and your cars sitting in the sun for a while.
