I am trying to remove the black trim that has been on my car forever. I have never really liked it, and I am starting to pay more attention to my car and trying to clean it up. I have removed a couple of the trims and they are leaving behind the residue and glue. What is going to be the safest way to remove this? I do not want to use anything too harsh, but want it off. I have heard everything from polish remover (which will damage the paint) to peanut butter (which is just wierd as hell). Any suggestions? I have tried using GOO OFF, and it is ok, but takes forever and a day and not really getting everything.

Thanks

MAN! ! ! ! What a day. It took a while, but I tried all the methods minus the ones I knew would damage the paint if not careful. I tried Peanut Butter.... Worthless. I tried cooking oil.... Worthless. I tried razor blade.... decent. The best thing that I found was a hair dryer, and using alcohol and goo-off. worked like a charm. All of the residue is off. and looks much better, washed off all of the residue and will wax it again soon

read it on other forums. I tried them to see if they were correct, sounded rediculous.

goo gone always works well for me. Keep in mind, there will be no magic glue remover that does all the work. It'll take some (by "some", i mean a "BUNCH") elbow grease.
