protects it from what???...looking awesome?
jk, hopes it comes off clean. ive used a mixture of gasoline and water to melt off any residue if your having trouble getting the sticky crap off. just make sure you put a little wax back on the area.

OP - Are you planning to sell those door molding? If not, then this thread is in the wrong section.
Nonetheless, GL with the molding removal.

Probably 6 years of weathering has caused the difference in finish appearance. Unless, of course, you feel a definite paint line. Otherwise a thorough cleaning, claying, polish and wax should fix you up. If a repaint was done that might require a more aggressive paint correction and might best be left to a professional detailer.
