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.
