Replacing bug mask on front of RV

This problem seems to occur east of the Mississippi - probably the humidity has a lot to do with it. Ours is 9 yr. old and still looks new. Good luck!

I witness the same situation with a MH parked next to me this past winter in Florida. After he spent days working on it, he hired a professional and they spent 5 days (2 guys) scraping, buffing, etc. Not sure what his final bill was, but before they got finished, he told me it was going to be well over $2000. They used buffing machines and they ran all day.

Mine isn't in terrible shape but I've seen some used units, we were considering upgrading to, where it was starting to make the front look bad. I'm surprised 3M doesn't have a process to remove it.

i saw a guy taking his off a tiffin product about a year an half ago doing just that... he was using a heat gun and one of those plastic scrapers for body work . said he got the scraper from a body shop auto supply place. it wasn't easy.... but it came of with work without marking the paint. good luck
