I used a hairdryer to soften the glue as I pulled the strips off, then an old ruler as a scraper with some carplan T&G remover  took about 4 hours in total

Hey guys thinking of doing this today or tomorrow, could you tell me do you literally pull of the door strips or do you have to do anything to prep them before pulling them off? I can't really see any way to gain purchase of them. |

Just pull Take it slow, use some heat and you will have less glue/gunk to remove afterwards

Use a vanilla wheel to remove the adhesive that's left over...turns a one day job into an hour one

Sorry you'lll have to remind me what a Vanilla wheel is again, if it's what I think it is, it's surely more than a tenner? |

it's a rubber compound wheel that you fix to your drill, it safely removes the adhesive, without damaging your paintwork. Seen them for £15 odd on fleabay, they're a tenner in the motor factors

T-Cut works, also buffs your paint up abit + removes any scratchs from using a card |

Use a caramel wheel. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Stripe-Removal-Wh ... 43a324d2b9 It's the only thing that makes sense. You can do 2 doors in 20 mins and it does zero damage to the paint, oh and it smells of caramel. |
