This guide shows how to remove chrome trim from your car. Start by locating a corner to begin the removal. Carefully loosen it and use a flathead screwdriver as a lever, taking care not to scratch the paint.

This is not a task to rush, as you could damage the car's structure. Clean any residue left on the adhesive tape after the removal process.

It may be advisable to use a cloth with wax to clean without damaging the car's surface.
