Need advice removing vinyl CF wrap

I bought my 2009 ISF used and it has vinyl CF on the roof. There are a few flaws and I really don't like it all that much and I would like to remove it. Any tips on removing it are greatly appreciated.

apply some heat with a heat gun or hair dryer, and just peel? I don't think there's anything more to it...

I'd apply wax right after just in case it was stripped to apply the vinyl...

Most wraps just pull off . I would identify what brand / type of wrap it is. I don't think there are any permanent vinyls though.

Thanks for the replies! If I put up a pic maybe you could help me identify it? Or maybe it has some kind of ID on the back?

Thanks, seems easy enough. The only thing holding me back is that the roof might have been covered to hide something...I don't don't want to uncover a bigger problem.
