The things shops don't tell you about car wraps

So I have decided to remove the 3m car wrap and switch up colors for,the 3rd time. I have done many plastidip cars before but this is my first wrap so I would love to share my newfound experience. As you can see to remove the vinyl is very easy. Once you get a corner going it simply peels off. in my case along with the clearcoat and the original paint.
1st picture some peeling is visible
Second picture shows the paint on the reverse (sticky side) of the wrap.
The 3rd picture shows the extent of damage occurred to the front bumper.
The only area that has been affected was the front bumper. Nowhere else has any damage been found other than the plastic bumper cover. Interesting for those contemplating on wrapping any plastic painted parts.
Plastidip is a much safer way of doing it guys. I went with 3m because it's the best and most expensive on the market. I guess I was wrong.
