Removing pin stripes? I have black and silver pin stripes that run down each side of my car. They have been on there since I bought the car used, so I'm assuming a dealer put them on when the car was new. I was wondering what is a good method, and product to use to remove them? I figured after getting them off I would clay bar the area and buff it out to blend it.

Not sure why dealers think everything needs a pinstripe? I have used a plastic "razor blade" or flexible scraper to remove them before. Depending on how long they have been on, there might be a fading issue. Just buff the area afterwards and you should be fine.

yeah jsut get some goo gone, a hair drier, and go to town.. I also used a flexible razor blade type thing to get them off, just be careful not to scratch the paint. I took them off my old BPM 97, about.. 2 1/2 - 3 yrs ago and there was no fading issue. still have before/after pics on my home computer.
