S13 black trim, how to get it off?

[WhiteChukiS13]

I want to remove the black E-tape trim off of my s13, but i noticed it leaves that black residue glue looking **** when you peel it off. any ideas on a sure fire way to get it off? i know some people on here have removed theirs.

goo gone, paint scraper,and hands bro

get 3m part# 07498 and it will be gone in no time. This is a stripe off wheel ment just for what you want to do.

[srpowered240sx]

yeah, or 3M adhesive remover.

I just got done removing all that tape. I tried two of the 3M wheels, the orange auto eraser and the white stripe off wheel. The white wheel is the way to go, cost me about 30 at my NAPA, but it finished the project in about 45 minutes, and took it all off cleanly except the front bumper.

If you need the wheel, send me a PM and I can probably ship you mine for a small price, still like 3/4 of the wheel left.

I started the corner of mine with a single edge razor and used a blow dryer to heat it up as I pulled it off. No sticky residue or chipped paint, and I pulled it off in one piece.... maybe I was just lucky though.

[Warped161]

yes if you use a blow dryer or heat gun you won't have any residue left behind.

this **** is a pain in the arse to get off the bumpers. i used the goo gone with the plastic scraper, worked like a dream.

Ok. Stupid question, but where's the best place to buy this stuff? The 3m stuff and the goo gone? I heard someone say Napa... Any others?

[WhiteChukiS13]

I know napa has the 3m wheel. just make sure you have a drill or something like that that can spin the wheel at like 2k or 4k rpm whatever the wheel is designed for. i dont think it really matters though. Goo gone you can get from autozone man its like $1.99 a bottle, $6.99 for the one with the plastic scraper.

Thanks again! I got a weekend project now! Yay!

Got most of mine off, just gotta finish the rear bumper.
