btw i did use adhesive remover and it would not come off.

what i did was carefully use rubbing alcohol. or you can scrub it out with a clean rag and soapy water.

I used a hair dryer and then SLOWLY peeled the trim off my s10.

Most of it came off that way.

I then used spray-on Goo Gone on the adhesive that was left.

I let it sit for a while and scrubbed off with cloth.

Repeat.

Took a few times.

Then washed whole truck.

My truck is white though.

I couldn't tell where it was after.

rubbing alcohol should get most of it, but if it doesn't, put some elbow grease into it with a soft cloth damp with goo gone. then wash it really well and be sure to wax and buff it too since the goo gone isn't the nicest thing on your clearcoat
