    Cool, thanks, do you think a hair drier with the heat on would work?

    Yea hes right. ^ A guy I work with asked me to help him take off the stripes on his 07 mustang and we were just doing it by hand and as the sun went down and the car cooled down it just stared tearing little pieces and was impossible. We spent like 3 hours on it and then on the last 2 stripes I was like this is bullshit and I got a halogen lamp from my work and the rest of the stripes came off in like 2 minutes lol. Anyways use rubbing alcohol to get rid of the adhesive not anything crazy like a brillo pad ;)
