Default Clear bra

What is the best way to get the clear bra off. My daughters car has one and it is getting black spots in it. It is on a white car so it looks bad. Would like to take it off and just put a good coat of wax on it.
thanks

You need to warm it as the coating is not going to dissolve without eating the paint. I have one for a crossfire that I have not put on and am ready to sell for a low price. THey are storng and are like decals of the vinyl variety. Woody

Before you do any thing rash get some Plexus. It is a plastic cleaner, protectant and polish. It works great. I use it on all my plastic bras. It keeps them looking superb. Try on line to buy it. I buy it from the shop that did the bra work.

~ i have installed over 300 clear bras and removed quite a few as well...

first let the car sit in the hot sun and then you'll need to use a heat gun or blow dryer to heat the film for ease of removal (small section at a time)... this aids with the release of the adhesive (kinda)... the hard part is removing the remaining residue left on the paint once the bra is off... you will need an adhesive remover
(3M makes some)... goo gone is worthless in this case. apply remover on a micro fiber towel and rub as needed (your finger nail helps too)… once the paint surface is clean (very time consuming)... polish the surface and wax as normal.

hope this helps.
