That's how I usually do:

BACKUP LOG db_name WITH NO_LOG
DBCC SHRINKFILE('dbname_log', truncateonly) or DBCC
SHRINKFILE('dbname_data', truncateonly)

You can substitute truncateonly with the number that you want to shrink
you data/log file to (in MB)

Ive tried full backups, then log backups, then full backups again. I've

tried Shrink files on the data and on the log file, nothing seems to
shrink this file. It's a 6 Meg database, with an 8 gig log file. I
would like to do this properly, so please, any suggests would be
helpful.
