Previous owner had clear bra's the car at some point. It's all removed except the headlights. Can I remove this without too much trouble? Or should I just leave it. Definitely not looking to buy new headlights.

 

Just went through this with with one of my other cars. Go to your local auto parts store and pick up a can of adhesive remover. I believe the one I used was by Turtle Wax and is labeled "adhesive and sticker removal" or something like that. You'll need a plastic scraper as well, I can't remember where I bought mine but you should be able to find one at Home Depot or something. Spray that stuff on there and wait a few seconds for it to saturate and start scraping away. The adhesive remover will deteriorate the film and you'll have to literally "scrape" it off. Yes, it gets messy. After it's all off, go ahead and apply wax to the light as well as the surrounding paint on the car or wherever the adhesive remover came in contact with just to be safe.

cheers

 

Took the time to take care of it today. Great results!

 

Looking great but damn that is a tight hood gap. I would be cautious of panel rubbing.

 

Looking great!

 

Wow, I'm impressed. I didn't expect this to turn out well.

 

I was pretty worried about it myself. Very happy with the results.

 

I have stopped wondering if getting a clear bra would be a good thing.

 

Getting a clear is a good thing...as long as it's done by the right installer with the right materials.

I've had 3M PPF on my cars, installed by a 3M certified installer (Starsheild in CA), for about 7 yrs, and it still looks perfectly transparent.

 

I recommend (at least) a good headlight protection be applied. Your old one was horrible! I wonder who did it.
