Any advice on how to peel the backing of the vinyl off???
 
I'm attempting to put on a vinyl from BlueBatMobile (Front Fang Overlay). One problem, the backing on the vinyl is really stubborn and not coming off as cleanly as I had imagined. I am using a soapy water solution and sprayed it down, but only one layer is peeling off of the back of the vinyl and the rest is really really hard to get off. I have to basically rub it off with my thumb until it's clean. Any ideas or am I miffing this up?

Ok, well I thought it might be a bit too saturated so I let it dry a bit and now it seems to be coming off like it should.

Finally got it off but I think I might have melted the vinyl a bit because there was a few irremovable long bubbles... there goes my $45 because I got pissed and threw it away. I'll just paint the front I guess. I need more experience with vinyls before I try the curves that the fang area offer up because hours later, I was in the same damn spot.
