Remove white auto stripe 2014 Silverado

[BigBlue48]

Anyone know the best way to remove this? Bought one of those 3M Stripe off wheel but it’s not doing the trick.

The wheel should take that right off.  Try a heat gun and thr wheel

Just tried that with no luck, this stripe is pretty cracked and 4-5 years old. Am located in FL so the sun got it pretty bad

Try lacquer thinner. It will take off painted stripes. Not sure about tape stripes.

Wheel as in 3M eraser wheel. then wool wheel with polish. off in half hour.......but then you will see that is the nicest paint on truck and have to buff the whole truck so get some beers and music and enjoy.

Yup the drill was definitely the issue picked one today capable of 1800 RPM and am good to go.

Yessir that is the plan! Waiting on buffing / detailing it though as it has a few spots I have to take to a paint shop and get fixed. Previous owners didn’t take good care of truck.

With the eraser wheel you don't need a lot of speed. I used a dewalt cordless on the low speed. The rubber heats up and friction removes the strip.

I needed more than what I had lol, even maxed out on my last drill it wasn’t even removing the strip. This new drill I used with the wheel took it right off.
