How should i go about removing the molding on the doors? Is it just double side sticky tape? Will it buff out nice after it's off?

Yep use a heat gun. Any glue or tape that is left you can use acetone to remove. I did mine last summer.

Once you get them off with your wife's hairdryer then snag her nailpolish remover for the sticky stuff. Don't think you will get the clear coat with that.

goo gone will remove the sticker residue without damaging the clear coat. apply liberally then wait 5 minutes, go back and wipe it right off
