You do car work? Amazing. I have the same fears as you had...my car's paint is already shoddy. I hate to see what lies underneath.

First thing's first- I can't believe I used to use so many lol's, etc. -- I sound like Chris or something.

Secondly, I still have some transparent lines going down the side/s. I've polished the car once since then, but it didn't get rid of them. I think they'll go away with a more aggressive go at it- but I've been too apprehensive to try that.

In hindsight, I should of let the goo-gone rest on the paint awhile longer. Once I noticed the trim pulling away, I just yanked it all off....should of been more patient.

I can't believe I referenced Fabio in a post. Shadowden is becoming the king of reviving old threads. Well done sir.

So you bought a polisher and only used it once?

Guess thats better than me since I have never used a polisher.

I used one of those rubber wheels to remove pinstriping and factory stickers from my Avalanche and my Wife's old 4 runner.

That left lines I could see too. I'm going to leave mine on until its time to go in for new paint...which may be never.
