driver side is fine, no marks whatsoever, perfect in fact.

However passenger side has a small white strip (between the two strips of glue) that is slightly visible in certain light. It doesnt even span the whole of the door, just the middle of it. How can i get rid of this?

Rear quarter is fine as well (strip was on there as well) no marks at all.

Cheers

Dave

tried some super-8 polish, didnt have much of an effect though.

Will try some tar remover followed by t-cut tomorrow

Thanks for the suggestions

mine's silver which is why i guess it's not that bad... hopefully some of the methods above will get rid of it.

Just not sure why i've got the strip on only half the door?

not heated it up enough, or they glued that part on too much, many reasons for it.

this sounds right, would explain why it's only on a certain part of the door.
