Don't wire brush it, use a 3m eraser wheel

I googled the eraser wheel... It looks like an adhesive remover. I could be wrong, but it doesn't seem like it would be very effective at removing solid material like vinyl.Don't wire brush it, use a 3m eraser wheel

I was thinking it would be best to remove it from the car.I heard its best to remove the molding from the door and soak in in some kind of tile remover for a while then it come right off
The old tried-n-true Brakleen uses the powerful solvent Tetrachloroethylene (also called PERC), more effective than other alternate non-clorinated brake cleaners using acetone / heptane. I've used Brakleen since probably before there was anything else, and still keep a can just for final clean on drums and rotors on brake jobs - nothing else. But it's impressively carcinogenic and likely shaved a few IQ points off over the decades. And I showed it to my son and recommended he just throw out any cans he has.Oh, man... Good idea. I was thinking acetone but I don't know what brake cleaner is made of.

When I purchased my car the rear driver side vinyl was peeled half way off. I tried to peel it allll the way off only making it worse because certain spot still had good adhesion. So I ended having to remove all the remaining vinyl with a Dremel sanding wheel, probably not the best option but my only option at the time. Then I removed it to prep it for paint & had to use a lil 3m metal filler on some spots I gauged from being hastily. This **** can really be a pita to remove. But the final product came out decent.

I know I went a lil off subject being that the post is (delete mod) but that's my labor experience on removing the stuff. However did you happen to find the remedy you were looking for?Interesting.
I suppose sanding is okay if you plan to paint.
Well, I hope so. The 3M wheel thing sounds like the move for those who are trying to preserve the chrome. I haven't done it yet, though.I know I went a lil off subject being that the post is (delete mod) but that's my labor experience on removing the stuff.
