    Having one hell of a time with this car. Much frustration! lol So it was a nice feeling to finally have something go (relatively) smoothly. Finally removed my side moldings! Really don't know why it took me this long to do it. Should've been done a long time ago.

    Used a hair drier to heat it up, some (minty) dental floss to get behind the edge of the molding, and simply pulled. Took my time with it, and no paint damage or fading or anything, so was definitely happy to see that. Goo-Gone did me no good at all though lol the residue was very tough, and after trying a few methods, the easiest/most efficient way was simply heating it up further and using my fingers to rip it off. So..that took a while. Still some residue left here and there that I couldn't even get off with a claybar, but with a little more patience another day, I'll get around to cleaning it up.

    Anyway, pics!









    Summer mode prep almost coming to an end, finally!
