heat gun or hair dryer to get it off, then 3M GENERAL PURPOSE ADHESIVE REMOVER for the glue, followed up by meguires cleaner wax

I used a hair dryer, TSP/water mix, then a 3M stripe off wheel, then cleaner wax, and it looks awesome now.

didn't use anything on mine. let it sit out in the sun on a 100 degree day, pulled the moulding right off, then just used my thumb and pressure to roll off the glue. good wash/wax looked like it never had mouldings.

I second that, it was a lot of work though and ended up with a few blisters.

Are you talking about the molding around the wheel wells? Ive been wanting to take it off but I dont know what it looks like or how its attached. Is it just glued on there? Do you have any pictures of a tahoe with the molding taken off? Thank you!

after my first blister from rolling the tape i got pissed and tried to scrub it off

Dont do that!!!...it will suck more than blisters!

i believe he is talking about the black/chrome moulding down the side of the truck. wheel well molding have screws on the inside IIRC, have the factory flares on mine or i'd go look.

I just pulled the moldings off mine this past weekend. I used the 3m wheel and some goo gone to get the residue off. It took about an hour but I was in and out of the house helping my kids with stuff. It sure makes the truck look alot cleaner.

Here is the before picture.

That looks sharp with the molding off man. I think Im just going to leave mine on until Im ready to repaint my truck. Its used to not like the molding around the wheel wells a lot more with the stock tires but it looks a lot better with my new tires and rims
