Side moldings?

Can I use a blow dryer to take off the adhesion when I pull off the side molding or is there a better way to do it?

Yeah, it helps but I just started pulling. I had a lot of adhesive still on my car afterwards though. WD-40 works best for what I could not get off with my hands. It just takes some time and patients.

When I took them off of my Silverado a few years back I used my thumb. But man it was sore.

try using 3M wax and adhesive remover. it makes the adhesive just rub right off with your thumb or towel! be sure to wax the applied areas after you are done because it also takes off your wax easily. i have before and after pics in my pics page, the link is in my sig.

Yep the WD-40 does a pretty good job of taking the left over adhesive off. It doesn't hurt the clearcoat either.

I think I spy a set of C6 wheels.
