Best way - Take it to a body shop

Next best way - follow directions from the poster above.

Is the pin stripe painted on or via detailing tape?

 

That tool looks like it would save alot of time. I've always waited for a hot day and peeled it off by hand.

i beleive its tape... mine was caked on for a few years so it flaked and i could pick away at it with my fingernails.

aallbbeerrtttttt - your local auto parts store should have it. its just a rubber disc w/ a rod in it so u can attach it to your drill.

this is exactly what autobody shops use.

 

If it's tape just either wait for a hot day or use a blowdryer and peel it off...then use clay bar to clean it up and call it day .
