Removing trim...

[MetalGrand]

I'm removing the trim off of my Blazer because its really old and nasty. I took the trim off but the glue sticky stuff that held the trim to the body is a real pain to get out without messing up the paint. I was wondering if anybody knew a good way to help me get this crap off? thanks.


*UPDATE*
Well, I tried and I still have a little more to do but...

What I like to use is an eraser wheel. should be able to get one at an automotive paint supply store..they attach to a drill..(air or electric) and take off the stickyness and don't harm the paint...its what we used to take off pinstripes at an autobody shop i used to work at.

Lacquer thinner and soft rags. Use gloves and change the rags often. wipe the whole area off and then wax the truck.

WD40 removes most glue residue.
or
hair dryer and plastic scraper

You will not get that glue off with a liquid remover. It's been on there for how long? 20 years?

The eraser wheel is the way to go. It's less then 10 bucks.

I used WD40 on mine - no issues - glue came right off. Very cheap solution.

we used 3m adhesive and glue remover from an autobody supplier, was 7 bucks and worth it, came in a quart can and took half a can to do a longbed truck.

I think I might try and use the WD40, because it seems like the fastest way for me to do it. Thanks guys.

What are you going to do about the holes in the body?

Oh come on now you crazy Canadian. This is 2008 in America. Elbow grease. gshhhh.

I want it now, I want it for free, and it can't take too long. If I can't do it myself, the government should supply it. This message brought to you by the Democratic party.
