Big Rob Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zugara Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 Clay bar or Tardis, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveRS Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 Looks like a heat gun will do the trick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisS Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 I'd say heat gun then clean the residual glue with Tardis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Rob Posted April 11, 2012 Author Share Posted April 11, 2012 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.
