Let me know please! THANKS!
I haven't seen this way posted so I thought I'd give you my 2 cents. After trying the fishing line and getting nowhere, I pulled out the hairdryer, ran it over the entire strip(one door at a time) for a few minutes to get the adhesive nice and warm, then wrapped a thick shop wrag or a light towel over a putty knife and slowly began pushing the putty knife along between the adhesive and the door. It works best if you have 2 people, one to keep the hairdryer going over the strip and the other slowly working the putty knife along. This gets most of the adhesive off, whatever is left over I used wd-40 and a DRY towel. It seems that if you can keep moving the towel around using dry spots, it pulls the extra adhesive off much faster than just your fingers or the already wet portions of the towel. It took me under 40 minutes to do all 4 doors and trunk badges. Hope this helps![/b]
I'd be REALLY careful if you do it this way. Definitely do not use a shop rag as they are too coarse and will scuff the clearcoat. If you have to do it this way make sure to use a THICK soft cotton towel. Personally I think you are just asking for trouble doing it this way, a putty knife can do some serious damage...is it really worth a little time savings when you could put $xxx in repainting the door?

Just my $.02
