Default Pinstripe Removal

I just bought a 1992 Honda Civic DX 4-door, but the previous owner had put pinstripes across the sides and vinyl decals on the door. I tried heating them up and peeling them by hand with no luck. Any advice? Thanks!

Get the 3m eraser wheel. Since your car is a bit old, the paint underneath might be darker so I suggest polishing the surface after removing the pinstripe.
