    Good morning and afternoon all!
    I have finally decided to remove the faded out pinstripe on my car BUT after beginning I noticed lines being left. I did everything I could to try and get it off but then I realized it wasn’t going to come off unless I tried something else. The cheapest route is to get it restriped but I have no idea what color! I’m thinking black to go with the rims. If you know of any other method to try and get this off of my car, let me know! Any help is appreciated :)

    If it's just adhesive left on the paint, you could try WD40 or a product called GooGone. If that doesn't gwt it all, try some cleaning wax or possibly even a rubbing compound.
    Goof Luck!
