Great stuff, guys. Your advice is really well-given. I think I've decided to pull the moldings off my ancient Chevy I've acquired as a winter beater. They're wobbly and the chrome on them has popped off; they look like heck.

Very informative. I'm happy you showed the RIGHT way to do this.

You DO NOT want to use blue shop paper towels for this job. Use a micro fiber towel for the polishing and a wash mitt with car wash soap to clean it before removing the tape residue. A micro fiber cutting pad with a polishing compound is best for surface correction.

I actually wanted to be slightly abrasive because the paint has been faded over the years and will help it blend. Keep in mind that scratch remover stuff is abrasive too, how else do you think it gets rid of scratches? We just want it to blend. But I get what you're saying.

do you think my truck would look good without the moldings? its the one in my picture. The truck has a lot of chrome accents so i thought they looked fine but i was thinking about body color fender flares and the molding would make the side a bit too much ya know? any feedback is appreciated.

100 degrees Celsius is 212 degrees Fahrenheit...no conversion tables necessary...how do i know this? check out the boiling temperature of water....

Anyone know how easy it is to get dry rotted adhesive off? Old car has a lot of trim coming off and has been like it for years... Would goo gone do the trick or am I looking at a larger project?

It kind of depends on the vehicles paint job at that point.

Ya the heat and pull method works pretty good. I don't want to have to buff just because I'll end up doing the whole truck. One thing to mention is that compounding on 2 stage is a "no no". Well by hand it's a "no no" anyways. Look up /Drive Cleans Larry (forget his last name) video on single vs 2stage and hand polishing. That guy's a GOD when it comes to detailing.

There are lots of times where you are either parking on the street or the parking lots are nearly full right to the back, and the side. Unless you live in flatlands where the parking lots are a mile long most of the time your going to be parking one over from someone and then someone parks beside you anyways. I think side moldings are beautiful, they really set the truck off right. Without them, the truck looks like a base model work truck with delete everything.
