The film and glue that Monaco used does NOT come off easily... the glue is the harder to get off. The amount of sun exposure is definitely a factor. The film under the headlights that is almost flat but with several curves was badly cracked but the film above which would be in the shade had no cracks and I left it on.. Because of the two curves under the headlights removing the film using heat would be tricky so I tried spraying that area three times over five minutes. It was flat enough that the liquid didn't run of and I was able to scrape the film and most of the glue came with it. One more spraying of the air freshener and all of the glue came off. On the vertical surfaces you cannot soak the film or glue as the liquid runs off.
One of the reasons for wet sanding the black film is to smooth the smaller rock chips in it. I agree that chips will be a problem and its part of the reason I left the film on the black areas, especially the lower area.
