Any of the chemicals mentioned won't harm the clear coat as long as they're removed, however they will strip off any wax, sealant, or coating on the paint. Make sure it is protected after the job is complete.

Someone, please help me not lose it. 4 hours tonight spent on this. I tried everything. hairdryer and plastic razor blade.... even tried the rubberized wheel to horrific failure. I'm maybe 50% of the way there on the removal alone, and will have then to do a paint correction and pray for damage to be repairable.
HOW MUCH DOES A NEW HOOD COST? IM LOSING MY MIND. |

About 10 hours later over the course of a week, I finally got this garbage off. It was brutal... but satisfying to finish. I did a quick scrub and hose down in the rain to get the adhesive remover off but glad it's off. Now I need a paint correction.

it's mostly from where I only soaped, washed the front end since it was raining and late at night.... plus the water on top of the remaining adhesive leftover... still gotta get some of the adhesive off, but might leave that to the pros to avoid any damage to the paint. luckily paint color looks fine in person, just needs a nice correction.

How was the difference between the paint that had the clear bra and the part that didn't? I want to remove mine, but worried about a clear difference of paint fade and potential of more chips and pits from bad Bay Area roads
