Default Remove Clear Bra

I bought a car and it has the 3m clear bra on it. It looks bad and i want to remove it, how?

I was thinking use a heat gun to soften it up and start pealing it off like a decal, will this work? is there any better methods?

Heat gun works best just dont get it too hot otherwise it just falls apart.
Also get ready to have your hands hurt like a **** when you get done lol.

One thing to keep in mind is the condition of the paint underneath...I didn't notice tiny cracks in the paint from the previous owner so when I peeled the bra off it took a lot of paint with it.

Good luck!
