Tarminator works really well as well. I've never had a problem with VHT on my car because it's more show than it'll ever be "go", but anyway....if this stuff will take off road tar baked onto rocker panels in 90* heat (I think that's the trim piece that you are referring too, as well) , so it might work on VHT. Dunno unless you try, but best of luck wither way. I think if they're gonna spray that sh*t all over the track they should at least offer a complimentary detail job to the winner
