The pin stripe would not come off unless I wetsanded with 1000. I did not want to do that as it was close to the body line, and there is a factory orange peel to the paint. When you get down into the 1000 ,1500 you will tend to make the factory paint look like a sheet of glass and it will look wrong compared to the rest of the paint. I used a magic eraser and easy off. Took the stripe off instantly and I buffed the clear and hand waxed it. Came out perfect.
A local graphics shop that decals vehicles also paints & airbrushes vehicles for busineses. When they are done with the vehicle the shop will often remove their paint with this easy off cleaner. This is where I got the idea.
People tend to over react with clear coats, everything you put on them wears them away little by little. In the north here I never have to worry, the cars rot off their frame before the paint / clear fails.
