DIY, or let the professionals do it?

If it's a DIY, what is needed? Any special instructions?

A hair dryer, and clean up afterwards.

Shall I use a water spray bottle to moisten and heat, or should I just pull?

Johnny

When you heat the area you are working on, the film will begin to shrink, the adhesive will soften, and it should peel off quite easily actually. The adhesive used will determine how well it peels off and whether it leaves any residue. The quality of the material and the time elapsed since it was installed on will also have an impact on this.

Your better off not using heat at all. It will make the adhesive more aggressive and harder to peel without leaving a mess. If you let it sit in the sun for a few hours and then slowly peel it should come right off. When you peel pull it toward you like you are stretching the film and not peeling it back. This will lift the film up without leaving much if any glue. If its not wanting to come off well a steamer works best.

Thanks for the link.

I'll just drive the car a bit under the sun and let the engine warm up the hood. I'll peel it off then...

Why do you want to take your clear bra off?

I did it myself as a project. It has it's imperfections, and I was fine with that because "it was due to my hard work." But after a couple of years, now it's peeling and bubbling, and it's time to get rid of it.

I have yet to decide if I'm gonna do the clear bra again, but if I am, I'm gonna get it professionally done...
