How to remove paint protection film?

[Big Rob]

As per the title please, has anyone done DIY removal of paint protection film?

 

The whole front of my car (bumper, wings and bonnet) is covered with paint protection film but it's very tired and has dulled/scratched and bird poop has burnt through the film on the bonnet and it's lifting.

 

Can anyone recommend how I should go about removing it or will professional solvents etc. be reqiured?

Clay bar or Tardis,

Looks like a heat gun will do the trick.

I'd say heat gun then clean the residual glue with Tardis.

Thanks guys, I should have known to check you tube. Anyways, I'll report back with details of success/failure.

 

I had to google Tardis - I thought zugara was suggesting I go back in time and stop the previous owner from getting it fitted, this would lead to all sorts of parodoxical problems so i'll try the solvent first.

Tar and bug remover is similar to Tardis Rob, Else PM Tim at Envy.

I think I've got some autoglym tar remover under the sink.
