    Help removing and old pinstripe

    Hello everyone. I have a 2003 Nissan Frontier, and I'm having trouble removing the rest of my pinstripe. On the passenger side of my car I removed most of the pinstripe just alittle left on the fender and the door, not very visible. On the drive sideI still have a white stripe going for the fourth door to the headlight. When I got the car like 2 weeks ago there were two stripes a black and a white stripe. I peeled the black stripe off because it came right off and used and eraser. But I'm have trouble with the white stripe. I I used a credit card and goof off on the driver side bed and that worked. But on the passenger side it was already off probably faded I don't know. Sorry if this is alittle confusing..haha

    3M makes a pinstripe removal wheel that mounts to a drill

    It is not cheap...maybe $28

    I used steam and a plastic razor blade to remove mine

    That wheel is for auto body work. You wouldn't want to use that on paint or paint that you plan on polishing.

    3m makes a adhesive remover. Spray and let soak for about 2 minutes. Then be gain to use a plastic razor blade to gently scrap the pin stripe off. You will need to re polish the area. If you don't have a plastic razor blade try clay. You will need to do several applications. BOL
