Thanks for the clarification XPEL. I was a bit "intrigued" when I read about the issues surrounding the removal of the film and the possibility of paint coming off. I didn't think use of cleaners/solvents was the proper technique … but as you say, use of a steamer to first soften the film and then actually stretching the film to remove it rather than trying to peel it back. I recall seeing a YouTube video explaining the removal process where the method shown was exactly as you describe. Also, given that the film is durable and I suspect resistant to most solvents, it would probably take a pretty "aggressive" solvent to soften it up enough for removal … which would also likely soften the paint. Finally, glad to know that XPEL stands behind its product!
