Removing a pinstripe

Is there any best way to remove the pinstripe from my GE? Or is it just take my time and pull it away then clean and wax where it was? Any help would be appreciated.

Patience is all you need. Just peel it away very very slowly at sort of a 90 degree angle to the car. It will break several times, and it will leave some residue. The faster you get it off, the easier it will come off.

Afterwards, wash the car and use a clay bar in the area the pinstripe was. If residue is still there try some goo gone or just pick it off with your nail. Wax afterwards.
