Who has removed their pinstripes using "easy-off oven"
I'm looking to see if anyone has followed the Easy Off Oven cleaner method shown here

Results, reviews?

why not just use adhesive remover and a plastic razor blade?
you'll probably find more/better help in the detailing/waxing etc. section........

I am feeling the same way. Use some solvent and a plastic razor blade, then follow up with some cutting or polishing compound. That's my two cents.

I might try to the razor blade method on my other car. I hate pinstripes.

Hmm I didn't know they had plastic razor blades. I'll look in to it!

Residue from the goo gone or from the pin strip?

I just look at it this way. Unless your paint is minty fresh, have fun with your cars tan line.

I used a hairdryer (didn't have a heat gun) and just pulled it off with my fingernails. Used 3M Adhesive Remover for the adhesive. I used the 3M Rubber Eraser Wheel like the one shern showed to remove adhesive from my emblems and was pretty happy with it but as thin as the pinstripe adhesive is, the adhesive remover is probably better.

I swear mine are painted on...They are def. not stick on. Looks like I may be stuck with pin stripes because I know I can't just peel them off.
