The wheel takes the top layer of film off and the goo-gone will take all the adhesive off.
you need one of these, a bottle of goo gone and micro fibers. Us a low speed, heavy torque setting on your drill and work slowly and from the edge. It’s tedious but does not damage your paint. The a proper 2 stage correction and your better than new.
I had a 10 year old bra on my cruiser. This was the only method that worked. If you have door edge film on start there and practice. There is a technique to it. ( just don’t let the wheel get hot, you will burn your paint.

I just do t wanna burnt my paintDoes the the 3M Eraser Wheel not help with this?
The guy who owns AMMO detailing products did the same thing. Hot water.Just a thought - On YouTub I saw a detailer use towels which he poured hot water over (from his coffee pot so must around 180 degr F) and then placed it over the protective film. It apparently comes of easier once heated up significantly. Still that way seemed saver to me then a heat gun. Not sure though when it is cracked up as shown in the pictures that works for all areas.
That is what my entire front looked like. Cracked, incredibly brittle and tinted brown. We tried steam, boiled hot towels draped on, heat guns, driving the truck to heat the hood etc. I would have been there for weeks and missing all my fingernails by the end using any of those methods. I really think it depends on what shape the product is in. At the end of the day, using a chilled rubber decal wheel, outside, in the middle of winter did the trick. You have to be work from the edge inward and used a very slow speed on your drill. Allowing the wheel to do the work with little to no added pressure. Having two wheels to use and alternating between the two is best. Also having the wheel that is not being used resting in ice water helps immensly with confidence.I would NOT use a 3M adhesive wheel for removing old clear bra.
I have experience here removing 20+ year old clear bra off of GWagen fender flares. The best way is with steam, so I personally would take it to a tint shop to have them remove with steam. The 3M eraser wheel may burn through your paint in small spots....
If you really want to do it yourself, I've had better luck with a heat gun, wood paint stirrers to gently scrape it off, and then an old t shirt to remove after you've gotten it hot enough. The steam is likely a lot safer for your paint, but I don't have a steam machine.
The less "checked" the clear bra, the easier it is to take off in larger pieces with heat.View attachment 2771176
This is a two day project by itself. But this is really bad.
