I hope my other side takes 3 hours. I did my 84' and my 94' 964. Both peeled right off. This is a real job. Nothing like my first two. I think I have a technique down now.

I use Wurth or Carborundum rubber graphic removal "erasers". A rubber disc chucked in a drill and used at low RPM.
Heats/melts/peels the film in one shot.

A PITA job no matter the approach.

I charge $400.00 to do this job on 993's. Remove old film, clean adhesive residue, Polish the quarter panel and install new film. Takes about 2 hours a side just to remove.

Right side is worst because the oil tank heat bakes the film more.

Happy peeling...

I read about those big erasers on a drill. Sounded like a good idea. You deserve good money to do this. I'm over this once it's finished!:)

Google "Toffey Wheel".

Have you used the 'toffee wheel', Peter???

WD-40 works well as an adhesive remover in some cases. Worked great removing decals from my bike.

I have. I used it on a hood I had bought for an old Ford I was restoring. It had a racing stripe on it. Worked very well.

But it does take patience and you can very easily stuff up the paint underneath.

The trick is to be gentle and let the wheel do the work. Just ease it on and don't let any part of the paint heat up.
If you get grit on the wheel it will wreck the paint!

Lot's of suggestions, and I'm sure they all work if performed as recommended and with patience.

If your paint is high priority, I'd begin with the most conservative and least risky solution. If necessary, move on to the next option and so on.

Best wishes,
