How do I take off vinyl stripes? And will there be any type of residue left behind that I will have to wash off? The stripes have only been there for around two months.

Umm.....if they've only been there for that short amount of time, no worries, use some goo-gone and peel it off. Anything left over, clean with goo-gone and when you've got any **** gone, wax it a few times

Yupp yupp.

Just peel it off by hand, use a hair dryer if you need some extra help.

Then, like said, use the Goo-Gone or (I use) 3M General Purpose Adhesive Remover to get the old glue off.

Good luck.

Yep, then once off I would wash the entire car with hand washing dish soap (not the dishwasher stuff) to remove the wax (monkey sea-men also works well too) then re-wax...

Zach I like your stripes. I'm sure everyone would agree though if nobody took off his stripes his car would be gay

No Jinx, you're Gay. Haven't seen the car so can't say if you and the car would make a cute couple without the stripes.
