Hello all, I just purchased an Iridium Silver CLS 550 and love the car but the only thing that bothers me is the clear protective film on the lower part of the rear door that runs onto the front lower portion of the wheel arch.
Has anyone removed this themselves or has had it removed by a pro or the dealership? If so, any ill effects on the underlying paint and what type of costs are involved? Should I just live with it?
I purchased a white cls and wanted to remove it because within one day of washing there was a line of dirt right along the edge. Also, this "clear bra" material yellows over time and wouldn't look so hot on a white car.
To remove I heated it up with a hair dryer and it peeled right off. There was no residue left behind or negative affects to the paint. Also, I removed it within one week of purchasing the car.
I removed mine, 2k miles later small rock chips appeared, I then bought the protective film and put it back on...... leave it on, when it does turn yellow take it to the dealer they will replace it under warranty.
I think I will take mine in on thursday, starting to look really yellow.
thanx for the info.
