I have not tried this product, but do have it in my shop and will be using it later in the year on some anodized aluminum trim from my 64 Sport Fury. This product was recommended to me by a professional restorer. If anyone tries it before I do, please post the results.

When I get it back I will give a good once over to see if I couldjust clean it and make it look nice on the car, but with Drano and Oven cleaner maybe I should go to the shop and do it before paint! All great advice!!! I think I read someone around here had pictures of doing just that?

A lot of long side trim has screws at one or both ends - checkcarefully before prying. Many of the clips (especially on the C-Barges) areno longer available, so see if you can find somebody who has had themoldings off a '65 Sport Fury as they could provide critical information. Ihad the moldings off mine, but it was in 1979 (hey, that rhymes!). Most tool companies have "molding removal tools" and Harbor Freight has a nifty set of plastic tools you can pick up for $5-7. Cut and shapethem as needed - they're way cheaper than new moldings. Use cardboard or apaint stick covered with duct tape as a prying-support to prevent kinkingbody panels and chipping paint. You will probably find yourself improvising- I think someone here on the 62-65 list gave me the tip about duct taping an old bottle opener (Don, was that you?) and carefully working the drip rails off. I got mine about half way off and chickened out, choosing to just work around them. I may try again before painting... Anyway, get good info, work deliberately, and take your time.

However, how do I get my moldings off? I'm not talking about the ones held in by screws, but the ones over the windows, etc. Is there a trick to that?

Mix the Drano with water in a spray bottle, but be careful, thefumes are HOT and TOXIC! The trick is to heat up the part you're stripping.My parts were stainless, but I think the principle is the same. Heat the part and spray it with a good coat. Sometimes it takes more than one application. I scrubbed mine with extra fine steel wool and water, with gloves, rinsed it with water then polished it. You may have to heat the part more than once. My trim is about 5 feet long, so I did it in sections, heating it in front of my kerosene salamander. Make sure your spray bottle can handle the Drano... mine got a little soft, but worked ok.
