Easy Off oven cleaner works good sometimes. Try it on a small spot first to make sure it doesn't harm the cars paint itself. Or are they clear coated over??? If so that is alot of work to get rid of.

You need an "eraser"...they fit on the end of a drill....you should be able to pick one up for about $15.00 from an automotive paint store....they work FANTASTIC....will not hurt your paint and isn't messy at all. Good luck!

Those do work great on vinyl pinstripe but not to good on painted pinstripes, you'll just burn the paint right off the car.

Like I said. Try some Easy Off oven clearner. Be careful though. FIrst check if the stripes are clear coated over top of them, if they are don't bother. If they are not covered in clear coat then find a spot that you will not see easily, like the edge of a door or somewhere like that. Just let it sit on the stripe for a little bit. You should see it start to bubble up a little then wipe it off. As long as it doesn't hurt you cars actual paint then go nuts. You will need to wash and wax the car up, maybe even need to buff the area where the stripes were because of the fade issue. Just be careful. I will not be accountable for anything here, so be careful.

LOL! Actually I have used this method many of times. I haven't ever had a porblem yet, but it is good to be cautious, that's all. It does work very well. But I still like to be careful, exspecialy paint wise.
