Decal removal and protection film

I thought about removing the original small white pin stripe that came with my ‘18 tundra. It’s kinda starting to fade away along with the TRD 4x4 decal which I might replace. Don’t think I would replace the pin stripe though, probably won’t miss it. Is there anything I should know before removal? I’m assuming they pull off easy.

Also the truck still has protective film around the bottom of the corner panels and the first few inches of the hood. Do people normally remove these or keep them on? I get the purpose of them but they seem like they collect dirt and grit right at the edges. Wonder if that damages the paint more than protects it. Any insight is very much appreciated.

 

Just a SMALL amount of heat(blow dryer or heat gun), goo gone, and maybe a 3m eraser wheel should do the trick.

 

Thank you.

 

3m eraser wheel or equivalent would be the way to go.
I wouldn't heat Toyota's less paper-thin paint..

Perhaps start one more thread on it.
3rd time is the charm..

Dark color with the sticker facing south on a warm sunny day gets you off to a good start.

 

Has anyone tried these decal removal wheels to remove silicone sealer? The fiberglass travel trailer is starting to get black mold spots where the manufacturer smoothed the sealer. This stuff is on there big time and only seems to come off with repeated scratching with my fingernails.
