heat them up and carefully peel them off then stick some autosmart tardis on to remove the glue quick polish and a wax job done and a million times better

...then stare in horror at the parking dings now showing up that were previously hidden by the side strips...

Don't ask me how I know this.

removed mine by using a good old hairdryer, gentle peeling the strips off, using t-cut to remove sticky residue, good polish 100% better

Either that or some oik will now provide you with what they were on there to prevent, in the first place!

as above, and also pray that the car hasn't had a blow in and had the mouldings masked out, as it would definitely be tears before bed time!
