    Removal of Painted Pin Stripes?

    I used a 70% proof isopropyl rubbing alcohol. Others have had success with oven cleaner and other chemicals noted in thread. I followed with a soapy water mix and a wax. Very little alcohol on a microfiber cloth went along way with light pressure.

    Removal of Painted Pin Stripes?

    Thanks Have tried a polisher and compound, little result. Have seen the wheels work magic on vinyl. Definitely painted, I have removed some. You can also feel the difference between a vinyl type stripe and paint. Have seen these work on vinyl but not anywhere online for paint.

    Thanks for quick reply! I was using google photos to upload but it did not look like it was showing up. Switched to Imgur. Can you guys see the photos? Sounds like I need to head back to Toyota for review or refund.

    Tear in Door Panel - 2014 Interior

    Was cleaning out the truck today and noticed there is a small tear in the drivers side passenger door panel. Not sure of the exact material used here but seems very soft compared to other cabin materials. Looking to put a patch on this using some sort of hardener to keep it from growing. Any...
