if it is adhesive, I would suggest 3M adhesive remover (can buy at a lot of auto places, and NAPA)

If you have any of your clay bar left you could use that to remove the residue left from the pin stripe.

adhesive is basicly the glue that holds a sticker in place, so if it was a sticker type of pinstripe then that might be some adhesive left over.

Yep, I'd bet that'* adhesive too. The 3M stuff, plus bug and tar remover or a pre-wax cleaner can get that stuff right off. Looks nice w/o the stripes, though it didn't look bad with them.

You cant say eh your not a canadian,

btw, Id recomend using the 3m product then using your clay to remove the rest of the left overs, id honestly stay away from thinners and what not, if you use to much or get a run down the side of the car ho knows what will happen, be sure to wax after the removal, best of luck
