Just started kikin 12A recently since I bought a 85fb as my first car and expressing mad love for the car. I was wondering if you guys had any special techniques for taking off that black rubber molding on your fenders, side doors and etc. I've seen people just tear/rip the whole thing but I want it to look clean, usually there's chunks of glue and hard to peel residue left behind. I've taken off a few by slowing peeling it while holding a heat gun to the rubber. As for the residue I've tried alcohol, WD40, and even windex. i found that the wd40 works best but I was wondering if there is a proper way to do it with less chemicals on the paint? What have you guys done to take off yours? I'm sure the SA/FB guys could answer this question best; I've seen a lot of their cars looking nice with the trim off.

 

i wrk at a body shop so i do this daily the foam tape seperates easly with a exacto or olfa knife just be careful not to gouge he paint or molding incase you want to reuse or sell these there are also line up pins some femders well have srews aswell. addesives remover is the easiest way to removethe trace foam tape and not hurt you paint(do not useon fesh paint)or an eraser wheel if u have acces to one
