Clay bar and lots of soapy water. You can try takeing a hairdryer and heating it up again so it will come off eaiser.

Mine came off really easy too! I just ran my hand over it and it flaked off, then I took it to the car wash and it looked like new. I don't know why it would be different? Weird.

It will come off easy if you've got lots of wax/polish on
