When I demolded and debadged the wife's tahoe, it was very cold outside, which is rare, but the molding and badges were hard to get started but the adhesive strips stuck to the molding not to the truck and made cleanup real easy.

It was a hot and sunny day when I removed mine....I used fishing line to start cutting through the 2 sided tape, then pretty much just peeled the moulding off. Next I used my thumbs and/or fingers to roll off the bulk of the tape, and 3M adhesive remover for the residue. Still have to get around to buffing it all even lol.
Oh yea, I ended up with some pretty big blisters on both of my thumbs...(dumbass that I am )

Goof off takes off the residue, does not hurt the paint or clear coat. Worked twice as good as rubbing alchohol.

yea i was using goo-gone, but then decided to do it dry because with the eraser wheel being wet it wasnt as effective. i was at first worried about burning the paint in case i spun my drill 2000rpm or more but i was reading and its hard to find a drill that will even go past 1000 so its no biggie.
