How To Take Of Detail

[Kyle Hamelin]

I am currently grinding all my rust off my 01 corolla and I need to take off the plastic detail strip that is on the side of the car about halfway down doors. How do I remove this and also put it back on? Any help would be great thanks

Like debadging - Point a hairdryer at the moulding to heat it up some, then slide a dental floss underneath and across it. Once off, get some "goof off" and wipe off residues.

But unless the rust has spread beneath the molding, you shouldn't have to.

then use a heat gun to heat the glue and rub it off the door with your fingertip

the rust isn't under it but it is really really close and i just dont want to wreck the detailing. Thanks though but how do you get it back on?

use a heat gun and heat the glue (on the molding) then rub it off, after that use thinner to clean it
then use 3m 2-way tape. put 2 way tape on the molding first the press the tape so it sticks then clean the car then put it on
u can get this from CT

beautilful. Thanks a lot.

I have grinded a good amount of rust off the car. I have a problem though. You can tell at some spots the rust has gone deeper then the surface. It looks like the metal has dimples and their is rust in it. I was told to grind it all out until its smooth but I dont think thats the best idea because I am worried I will grind to much off. Is there a chemical I can buy to get the little bit of rust in the dimples off maybe?
