Help with Diamond Shield removal

I had the 3M **** removed from my coach because of mold and it looked terrible in 2008. Had the coach full body painted and right now it looks new and shiny, yes I have a few dings but getting them touched up is way cheaper than diamond shield. Too each his own, I prefer the shiny look as opposed to scratched plastic.

Ours looked brand new until we spent one long winter, actually April to November in Alabama, Georgia and Florida. The heat and humidity really does a number on the Diamond Shield/3M stuff. We developed s couple small moldy looking spots under the shield the next year and this year it's done! I intend to have it removed and redone once we get back to Arizona.....I'm looking forward to seeing the before and after pictures....Dennis

It looks better than new because you had Diamond Shield protecting it. Let us know how it looks after 4-5 years. :)

I just finished doing mine myself. It looked terrible the way It was, like an alligator's hide. It took me about 12 hrs. to do mine as I had to work on it for about an hour (until I started losing my cool) and take a break, then go back. It is very slow and tedious work and the adhesive is like removing heavy-bodied snot. I found an adhesive remover spray at the local Ace Hardware that worked fairly well. I couldn't justify paying $150.00 for a gallon of the Ugly Juice from the company in Fla.

I will never buy another coach with Diamond Shield on it. This is the second time it has gone bad on my coach.

We were considering purchasing a motorhome that needed this work done and I had a couple of conversations with the folks at Ugly Shield Removal in Fort Myers, FL and they seem to be a top notch outfit. If we had purchased that motorhome, I was going to schedule an appointment for this winter when we escape to Florida.
I recommend that you give them a call, and if you can send them pictures of your rig, they can give you a better estimate on the cost to remove the shield.

Alex from Diamond Shield just left and the front of my coach looks new! I wish I knew how to post pictures on here I would post before and after shots.
Again two thumbs up for Diamond Shield. The new film they put on now has a lifetime warranty so I definitely endorse them and would strongly suggest if you are purchasing a new or even a nice used coach you have this done.

I am happy to say that the installer from Diamond Shield called and will be at my home this week to do this job. Will post again when completed.
