Step 4: Remove the destriper residue
Using one of your polish/wax applicators, gently rub your polish into the de-pinstripped area. wipe clean with ANOTHER one of your microfibers...
See the above pic, you'll see the residue where i've already cleared the dust.

Step 5: Removing pinstripe you missed
Follow Step 2 again, this time touch those areas you missed... there will always be some :o
Here's the pinstripe i missed on the front right fender...

Step 6: Finishing up
Re-wipe/polish the areas you re-did. Then wax and voila... all done.

You may want to rewash the entire car, as all of the surfaces will have dust.

Here is the entire gallery of pics took for this write-up/how-to, it's as easy as it looks, I promise!
Pinstripe Removal Gallery

Note: 1 wheel will remove the pinstripping off roughly 3 cars/trucks given they aren't huge!

Here are some of my after pics, ignore the fact i removed the emblems, that's another use for this tool, but that's in another how-to.

Please let me know if you have any questions about anything haha.
