One comment.  I normally regard Glen Hoag's and Matt
H's comments as golden.  You can normally take them to
the bank. I respect their experience. 

In my case, the original side stripes were
weatherbeaten, checked and generally sunbaked.  The
stripe eraser tool did not work.  I did not try the 3M
product on my Gremlin.  Just don't expect miracles if
the stripes are old.   Like I said before, if you are
going to paint the car anyway, sand them off.
