    Pinstripe removal, Y U NO WORK RIGHT!?!

    So I did one half of my car and it was fine. Now for some odd reason the second half (passengers side) is like damn near impossible to remove. I did the one side with my finger nail and a plastic razorblade in no time at all, the second side I have like 4 inches done in an hour. WHATS THE EFFING DEAL HERE! Any tips?

    Will something like that Goo Gone stuff work? I think that's what some people use to debagde their cars.

    I think that's the remove the gunk left afterwards. I got some bug and tar remover that's working nicely, I'm talking about the stripe itself. effing annoying.
