I need to replace my vinyl racing stripes because they are getting seriously faded and I am moving at a SNAILS pace trying to get these things off. By the looks of it I'm gonna be here for a week. Short of using a hairdryer, is there any good way to do this?

I'll give the fishing line a try... Now I see why every shop was quoting me 400 dollars to take the stupid things off :(
