+ use a hairdryer to warm them up to help release the tape.

Agree! Just make sure the glue is soft enough and yes, use a hair dryier to warm it up.

Dental floss works pretty well with some GooGone for the residue.

I use a hair dryer and and fingernail polish remover for the leftover sticky. Just make shire you get the glue good and hot or it will pull paint with it.

I wouldn't recommend fingernail polish remover. It has a lot is acetone and will severly dry out the paint. Goo gone would be a lot safer.

I have a set of these trim tools, they're $10 at Harbor Freight. Most Super Street & D Sport mags have a coupon for there too. They are plastic so there is less danger of scratching the paint like a metal tool will. Great for interior panels also:

I'd probably mask the surrounding area with blue masking tape too.

G Fo12ce · 11-06-2010, 12:34 PM

Here's another trim tool set too:

Few bucks cheaper and they are a little smaller. I have this set too from another maker and had it first. I'd probably get this one if I were to pick one.
