I once tried everything to get glue residue off, finished up using Petrol on a Micro fibre cloth, it did the trick, perhaps worth a try? :)

Has the unwrap revealed any horrors ?

There's a Mercedes GT I pass that is shedding its skin like a snake all on its own.

Perhaps someone clever swine attacked it with WD40.

Whitespirit; turps, test on small area first.

Would not do that job this time of year, cold vinyl removing much easier in the sun. Try a hairdryer to warm it.

I asked my son, in his job, to remove damaged PPF he uses a hot air gun and 3M Adhesive remover.
