I started the day off detailing my Hoe and very sooned turned into debadging. I couldnt stand side pieces anymore. I found out that using high strength fishing line between two screwdrivers works great....and now to the adhesive removal... yay! Truck looks great already and cant wait to see it done. I remember reading somewhere that goof off works the best. Am I right?

i used goof off and a rag, took about an hour. others say the 3M adhesive wheel thing works better, you just roll it on the adhesive and it'll come off

ok, Ive run into an issue. I used goof off and got most of the adhesive off of the pass. side and havent even started on driv. side but now I have a haze that I cannot get off. Ive used an intermediate swirl remover polish and a fine swirl polish and still no luck. Has anyone else had this issue? If so what was your remedy?

its called an Eraser Wheel it works wonders! i used it on my 94 s10 blazer that had those gay stripes down the whole side. just dont be an idiot with the eraser wheel. i saw a guy push super ******* it and burn straight thru the paint but he was a dumbass lol


as far as the haze, does it feel like its ontop of the paint? i would say use a medium cut compound with a buffer if you have one. if you dont have a buffer try using wax and see if that helps. otherwise it could be the faded paint
