side molding removal so im in the process of removing the side molding of my camaro...i have to say this project is taking alot longer than i had planned...this glue residue is really hard to get off...i have been going for hours with a can of wd40 and its coming off but damn haha...i was curious if there is any other product that removes glue residue better than the wd40 im using...thanx
I heard of it, but never tried it. When i did mine, i used some degreaser that i jacked from work lol. It worked great, but overall the glue wasnt that hard to remove on mine. Most of it came off with the molding. goo gone will work.
EDIT: now that i think about it, i really didnt use the degreaser all that much. Get the hair dryer and heat it up and try to remove it. that should help out some.

If you cut it off with fishing line most of the time the glue residue is much less. But at any rate heat is your friend...heat it up and rub it off with your finger (using a glove!) Without heat it is a PIA to get off! Also I am always fearful of pulling the paint off if you dont use heat to soften the glue.

But it worked! I'm gonna try one of those eraser wheels on my WS6 tho just to see if it's any easier.Swat
Mine is coming off, missing the piece on the driver fender from when I replaced it so I'll be taking the rest off next week during break. It doesn't do any good against door dings anyway since most doors seem to hit higher than the molding. Ask me how I know
