    Hello All,

    I bought a used Prius V a few years back that had a clear protective film in several places. I dont know who installed it. This had been a lease so I am assuming it was applied by Toyota or the Dealer. Over the years the piece on the hood has deteriorated forming cracks and looks bad. Anyone else have a similar experience? any advice on how to remove it? IMG_0092.jpeg

    The vendors who install ppf film are best at removing it. Removing it incorrectly is almost guaranteed to pull up some paint.

    removal isn't much different than the reverse of the installation

    spray - grab a corner an pull slowly - rinse and repeat
