I’m putting off doing this same project. I saw an Ammo YT video where he used boiling water and looked to make this much easier. Any reason you didn’t try that?

I can try that method on the red car, that PPF has to be removed due to heavy water spotting that looks like crap.

I used this method. Have a link for the boiling water method from AMMO?

Boiling water can work but it’s not as effective as pouring it on a horizontal hood … maybe a spray bottle? Depending on the age of that
chit you’ll be amazed at how awful of job this is

Not looking forward to it doing mine.

https://youtube.com/clip/UgkxTTX-3rB...HssxxAx2vBEFin

Here is one clip (start at 2:34) but there is a better one that I can’t find. Its in one of his other videos where he laid out microfiber towels on the PPF and poured the water on top. Then llet soak for a couple of minutes.

For the sides, he just pours the water down the side as he pulls.

Changed the motor mounts. Wow, what a difference they made. Also did the trunk opening mechanical bypass to the side marker light.

Silver wheels are the only thing I’d ever get. Matte silver to be exact
