I just removed my chicklets this past week.

Used a hair dryer to soften the adhesive foam and then sliced through it using fishing line. Took about 1 minute per side.

Interestingly enough, I noticed quite a few knicks and chips in the chicklets from the road debris which must be flung backwards.

I think I'll order some cleartastic soon.

To be clear...fishing line works much better than floss...braided fishing line (like Spider Wire Fusion) works even better. I just debadged my Hummer and the braided line was a lifesaver as the emblems are pretty big. Also, I found the citrus based adhesive remover to be easier to use than WD40.
