Brittle Racing Stripes Removal Hey, so I started to take off the racing stripes that came on my '99 WS6 when I bought it a year ago, and I ran into a problem. I started off with a blow dryer, then moved to a heat gun, but the stripes turned out to be extremely easy to tear, and also the part I was pulling would just rip off at the point i was pulling up from. This made it impossible to keep pulling it off, because once it ripped off I had nothing to pull, and starting again was almost impossible. Basically I ended up with a big mess on the front were I started to take them off....
So I'm wondering if you guys know of any products that you can put on these stripes to make them come off easier? Or maybe just an idea for getting these things off in a minimal number of pieces...?
Any advice would be great!

No heat gun just need a good cordless drill or highspeed and I zipped it off pretty well.

yeah you can make it too hot... you can burn the clear... you want it hot enough where the stripe will SLIGHTLY burn your fingers where its uncomfortable... but doesnt really BURN them...
