is it cleared over?

if it's not cleared over, and I doubt it is, you can use a hair dryer or heat gun to warm it up a little bit. Then peel it off, then use an 'eraser wheel' to remove any leftover residue without hurting the paint or clearcoat

also 3m adhesive & tar remover, lighter fluid, or laquer thinner will do a good job at getting the glue off. Wax over the area when you're done.

thinner nor recommended for just getting glue off but if u use heat gun most will come off u might need to use wax and grease remover for left over residue then if u still see line where it was u might need to buff

i looked today and it has no pinstripping

i am so glad that is off my mind.. but what i really need to worry about now are these gay ass rims *UUGGHH*
