    Removing Clear Invisa bra

    My S6 has a clear invisa bra on the front. It is starting to look pretty bad. Does anyone have any suggestions on removing it?

    I believe it peels right off. Make sure to put some wax on the paint once it's off.

    i would buy a new one first and take it to a shop that does tint, then have them remove it and apply the new one.

    I thought I could remove it easy, but I took a piece off and it didn't want to come off to easy. Thought maybe trying to heat it a little bit... to see if that helps!

    I just pulled mine off slowly, and it came right off. There will be a lil bit of sticky residue, and I washed the area, useds adhesive remover, and the rewaxed the area. Good ever since.

    Heat it up a little with a blow-dryer and slowly peal it off. If the area you applied it to has been repainted you may see some paint come off with it if you do it too quickly, so go slow.

    Re: Removing Clear Invisa bra

    does anyone have any problem with the paint being duller or more faded on the part where 3m wasn't on?

    and why is everyone taking it off?

    They use various cleaners to remove all the wax etc from the area prior to install to insure best possible contact. I've found that a good polish and wax should take care of the issue.

    Re: Removing Clear Invisa bra

    finally got the 3m off. it took about 3 hours to peel it off. then there was the issue of the glue. we used a porter cable and new buffing pad with some very mild polish and compound for the tuff areas. looks brand new now. polished the hood with some good wax and you can't tell had anything on it for 5 years! just takes alot of elbow grease!!!
