^^^ as above, you can get the same thing, called a pin stripe remover from motor factors.

much better idea. go to a bodyshop and ask if they will give you or sell you a toffee wheel.

its like a big rubber which attaches to a drill.

if takes the glue off in a matter of seconds.
you could do the lot in 10 minutes from start to finnish.

The best way to do it is to heat it up a bit with a heat gun (not to much though as it could blister the paint) and the pull it off slowly. To remove the rest of the rubber that is left stuck to the car heat it up and then use degreaser on it and rub it off. If there are any marks left, use T-CUT to polish it out.

heat it up with a hair dryer 1st andpeel off.should leave industrial glue that comes off with elbow grease and T-CUT may be a miss match in colour though where the suns faded it
