How can I remove the protective film from front of RV
The front of my Bounder has a protective film over the engine access panel. It is covered with stains from bugs and looks terrible. How can I clean it or remove it?

Use a wall paper steamer to warm the film ( to hot and you will lift the paint from under the film, to cold and it doesn't want to come off). I also use plastic razor blades sold by (Auto Geek) get the pink ones, to remove the film about 1/4" strips at a time. Once the film is off the next pain in the neck is removing the adhesive. Do about one square foot at a time then remove the adhesive. If let set to long the adhesive will harden. The best product I have found yet and believe me I have tried many, is a product called "Orange Squeeze" made by California Scents. It can be purchased a Lowes, and yes it is a air freshener but it is 100% citrus extract and when sprayed on leave sit for 1 minute then scrape off with razor blade, about 90% of the adhesive will come off the first time. Reapply again to remove the rest.
Good luck and hope you have a lot of patients as this is a very labor intensive job and could take as long as 40 to 60 man hours depending on how old it is. PM me if I acn be of any further assistance; Keith
