Drip Molding Repair

When I got the car it had the standard issue with the tape pealing off of the drip molding. I have taken my time to get these cleaned and prepped to get a new coat of Forever Black and blackout tape. I did the majority of the work with a razor blade. I was able to remove the tape, but it left a lot of glue on the rail. I first tried using a piece of steel wool to clean the glue off. While this worked fine it took too long and was a very messy process. I found a can of Goo Gone Extreme at Wal-Mart and I thought I would give it a try. I sat down on the floor last night and spent about three hours cleaning up the rails. It was not a messy process and I could watch TV while I was doing it. The rails came very clean and ready for the tape. I did a test area of the Forever Black and I think it will work just fine. I will be starting on the rubber tonight with hopefully a plan to start taping next Tuesday.
