Don't care. Just do not care. We win, you lose. You do though, you seem to care very much

I'm going to go ride my mountain bike, later nerds.
Hail, auto goons. Would love a little advice here

Just purchased a 2006 Lexus GX470. It has a clear, protective film across the front of the hood, the front bumper, the side rear view mirrors, and other areas that receive some wear and tear with highway travel. It seems like a lot of Lexus owners were sold these as both cars I saw had the same wraps on them.

It’s getting a little old and dirty. Think it may be time to pull it off.

I’ve seen that they can generally be removed with a heat gun, adhesive remover, and plastic scraper. Is this a recommended DIY job? Would obviously hate to scratch up the paint in the process and turn it into a much more expensive deal.

Also, the headlights look like they also have this protective film, but I can’t find the seam. Is it possible they are wrapped? It seems I can scratch the surface of the headlights with a fingernail so I’m pretty sure it’s a protective layer as the actual covers wouldn’t scratch so easy.
