You mean you took off the pinstripes and there's left over glue?

Just use Goo-Gone or even some rubbing alcohol works. Bug and Tar Remover might work also.

I just use my fingernails, usually my thumb, and it works great... may take a little time but it works!

Im talking about the wax residue that is left on the edges of the pinstripe....on the car.

Use a toothbrush. I use one in all the cracks and around all the window moldings after waxing the car.

I had the exact same problem and do you want to know what I did? I removed my pinstriping! It's probably one of the best mods I've done for my Maxima! I hated those stripes. Most Maximas have nice stripes, but mine were ugly.

Oh well!

I use a toothpick, but if you're worried that it'll scratch your car, then use a Q-tip.
