I spent a few hours doing this. Too bad I only did one side when I had to go to work.








There is a small line on the front door that was under the molding, a bit lighter than the paint that wasn't under it. Will a polishing get rid of this, or is it a clear coat issue?

Anyway, just thought I would post up this thing I've been wanting to do. Oh, and don't mind the dirt.

Looks alot better.. Nice job......

That line will fade over time, however, in the mean time a good pre-wax and waxing will also help immediately.

Definitely and Improvement... but I'm not opinionated in this matter

All right, then I'll wash her up next weekend.

very nice!

they look sooo much better without side mouldings

Gets my stamp of approval

Awesome. How long did it take?

Hell yeah looks great. I'm going to be doing that once it stops raining so much

looks good
what did you use to get that crap off that was under the molding

deinately wish i woulda had a heat gun when i did mine

Nice job on the molding. Well worth the effort, looks great.

I would have to agree with hansken_yo in that a good detailing will work wonders. (boy, that hurt to say.... )

Zaino.

I used a credit card, heat, and adhesive remover to get the glue residue off. My tape came off on the molding.

on the ms3, I just grabbed on end of the molding and it came right off.. No sticky residue left over.

Then i spent 6 hours Zainoing.

Oh, maybe an hour or two. I just took a lot longer than I could have, and the other side will take about half that. (Yes I'm driving around with half of the car done).

I used 3M general adhesive remover, and a cloth the get it off. Wasn't really hard, just a bit time consuming until you find a quick way to do it.

Thanks for all the comments guys. I am pretty happy with the result.

EDIT: If anyone is really interested I could write a how-to with all materials needed, and pictures.

I say you just do the write up. Alot of ppl are guna want to know how. Looks good by the way

Another great way of getting the glue strips off (which I didn't use either) is getting a rubber wheel on the end of a drill and going to town. It won't burn the paint unless you hold it on the paint for a good amount of time, and with pressure. It's a quick and easy way of doing it. I used the same method as you...3M remover and a cloth. Took awhile. LOL

Looks good btw! Clean shaven FTW!

Yeah, the 3M remover and cloth method took a bit, but wasn't bad. I just finished the other side, in about half the time as the first, like I said it would take.

And I'll write up a how-to in the next few days so everyone else can benefit.

looks good sam, i plan on doin that soon aswell, big improvement

Thanks Jen.

For anyone interested, I wrote a how-to, that you can find in the how-to section.
