It will def clean it up more.

Like Grant said, you need to get he 4 holes per side filled then basically the entire side repainted (at least for IP to blend, its recommended...I looked into it already).

6mtPnut and Pestilence both have shaved the moldings. I would search for there pictures. Of course they both have complete paint jobs so it was easier for them to remove.

ah damn

didn't know there were holes. That sucks. I took them off my F150 but they only had sticky tape holdinh them on.

Anyway.. any good side pics of them removed ? I can get paint done fairly easily. May do this anyway and risk the dings. The main places I park will never get me dings, and I usually park far off in parking lots to avoid them too.

they actually dont protect YOUR door from dings, but protect other people's doors from YOU dinging them. **** them.
