Clean, professional pinstripe removal?
 
I think I've finally found the one, it's flawless except for it has a single pinstripe all the way to the top of the front fender:

I searched for a couple posts here but I couldn't find a concrete fool-proof way of removal, also haven't found much on youtube yet.

The only reason I'm still considering going with this one is because I've been searching the better half of a year looking for the right miles, price and color. It's hard to justify buying something for 20k and risk damaging the clear coat or paint.

Thanks

is it just vinyl? tell the dealer to remove it

i'll find out tomorrow. it could have been on there from early on so I'm not sure how well it has adhered by this point

10min with a heatgun/blow drier and it will peel off easily. Or leave it in the sun on a really hot day. A dab og goo-off/adhesive remover on a microfiber for any areas where you didn't get it hot and the adhesive remained on the car.

NOT Goo off, use goo gone!!! (ask me how I know)
Sorry if this is a late bump but I dont want you ruining your paint. Walmart sells auto paint friendly goo gone in the auto section. I just used it for the debadging on my car and no clear coat damage happened.

Thanks for the reply. I'm having the dealer remove it at-cost as advised by some members here. We've scratched a little off so far just by fingernail revealing some of the adhesive which will obviously need work.

I'll document as much as I can for reference.
