For those of you who had the rubber like clear protection on your windscreen is there a secret to getting it off besides hours of peeling or attempting to scrape with finger nails? My hands are starting to rebel and threatening to choke me if I don't find a better way.

PS: Finally, after all this time and two failed attempts all the main parts have been painted.

I have found using Goo Gone on the windows to remove stubborn substances works and doesn't harm the plexiglass. Wipe with clean microfiber cloths to avoid scratches.
It works"believe me"as Trump would say.

Goo Gone is excellent for removing adhesive. Leave the Goo Gone on the material for at least 2hrs (I left it on overnight) so it completely penetrates and dissolves the adhesive. After that it just slides right off with no effort.

Put 2 or 3 more coats of Spraylat on so that it is thick enough to peal off.
Works good!

Use duct tape, make sure you start it where there is no coating so it can
have an edge to start the pealing.

Just like with your reference, I don't believe! I prefer facts and data. Gone is not really safe for acrylic. Even if you don't see the effects right away it will haze the acrylic over time.

We use a little toluene available in a hardware store paint department. Suggested by a long time A&P on the field. I would then go over the area with a quality acrylic cleaner.
