    I bought a CPO Audi A4 recently and it has had a ClearBra since it was new (3 years, ~50k miles ago). I`d like to remove it from at least the hood and the door mirrors, as the edging is stained and there are seams on the mirrors` ClearBra filled with dirt. I`m mostly concerned with paint fade and curious if anyone has been down that road. Thanks.

    try rubbing alcohol on the edges that have dirt with a Q -tip, i buff clear bra with menzerna 106ff when cloudy comes out great , other than that, heat up film with hot water or a heat gun on low then pick and peel then remove film fully then residue with a prep solve,

    the only problem could be if it was a repaint not properly painted and you will know quickly of the paint comes with the film. . i know it was a cpo car but bodywork can be hidden from audi & carfax by paying cash for repairs. . . be brave. . good luck most of my clients treat clear bra like a periodically replaced upgrade paint should be easily corrected if stained
    it doesn`t matter if you win or lose it`s just how good you look!

    Once you work an edge loose, pull at a 90* angle to the paint...This is supposedly the most effective way to remove it, but I pull at >90* (almost 180). As mentioned, you may be able to polish the CB (along with the rest of the car) to make it more appealing.
