When using the 3M auto trim tape, it is mandatory that you clean the paint
with something like PPG acryli-clean in order to remove any wax that could
interfere with the adhesive.
Afterwards, apply wax as normal to the surrounding surface to protect the
exposed paint.

Interesting. I taped mine on 8-9 years ago as you suggest, but have begun to
lose them. Maybe I wash too vigorously.
Using a razor knife, I did manage to affix them so no tape shows and they
are lined up nicely (albeit not spaced correctly.)
Thanks
