Default Tips for taking off CME??

Any tricks you guys have for getting off the valance? I'm using WD-40 and floss, but it's taking sooo long and the floss keeps breaking. I would think fishing line would do the same. I tried a blow dryer, but it didn't do anything. And I don't have a heat gun... Any other tips?

If you're not selling it, why are you removing it?

use a heat gun on low and some fishing line. go to the autoparts store and buy a can of 3M adhesive remover. soak the residue and then wipe it off. I've removed countless trim / emblems from trucks that way.

DSR works awsome and is sold at advance made by the same company who makes pb blaster. I used it to remove side moldings on a car with a heat gun also and they came off really easy.
