I just axed my body moulding that refused to hold a coat of black paint. I used about 6' of 80# fishing line to saw the mouldings off. Came off pretty easy. Then I used a "magic eraser" wheel to get the adhesive off. That thing works wonders. All I have left to do is clay bar the residue, but it's raining so I'm going out for a pint or four.:cheers2:
 
put up some pics when you done. trucks always look better with all the unneccessary shit pulled off......
 
I bet it looks better, just did the same thing to my Caprice this weekend, my thumbs are a little sore, shoulda got one of those wheels...
 
Ya post some pics for sure. I removed mine about a month after I bought it. Nothing like a clean lookin truck! :yesnod:

I also rmoved my silverado molding from the rear. But I can NOT pull myself to remove the 2500HD or Duramax logo :nono:
 
magic eraser wheel hmm I gotta see one of those,I have the sponge ones is it the same stuff(material) just a different application?

NOOOOOOO!. I just saw what you mean in a store the the other day. I DID NOT use the Mr Clean Magic Eraser. What I used is a rubber wheel that mounts on a drill. You can only buy it at an automotive supply store. Please do not confuse the two.
 
that was the first thing i did when i got my truck, it blows my mind all the shit that gets stuck behind it
 
I still have to wash and clay bar it, it's too humid here so I'll wait a while.

Sorta like that. I was gonna wash it last Sunday but I went jetskiing instead. I'll have pics for the 4th.
 
i had to do alot of digging but i found the mirror caps in my GM parts catalog same goes for the mirrors. if you would like i could try and find the part numbers again for you. or if you need another color i can find that as well. (its slow in chevy parts and all ive got is time!) lol
