dental floss sucks...it's all about fishing line. fishing line, goo gone, and a heat gun and i guarantee it won't take longer than 30 minutes.

it took me 10 minutes. used plastic tool to take them off then they have a rubber wheel you put to a drill to remove adhesive glue of car paint, then i wiped it of and buffed it by hand with rubbing compound then finally added a layer of wax over area, luckily I waxed my car the day before. It looks like nothing was ever there
