Cleaning the black door pillars

I am not sure if i want to keep them black or remove them to make them white.

I am getting a 15% tint all around and think that the black pillars may look nice...

but they are all splotchy, and i was wondering what the best stuff to clean them would be?

my guess would be some armor all type stuff or maybe even some car wax.

Don't use armor all, it will just dry it out more eventually(quick fix). There is really no way to make the vinyl tape look good permanantly after it has faded. Just go ahead and take the tape off, but it is kind of a pain to get the residue off(goo gone type stuff doesn't quite work good enough), using an orbital buffer and a little wax is your best bet.

hmmm...did a search for this to no avail. I was wondering how to pry back the rubber window borders in order to peel out the vinyl properly.

Any help is appreciated,
Justin
