Use a good blow dryer - plenty of heat. A heat gun can very easily blister/soften the paint while you are scraping and working on it. Get a plastic scraper with a strong thin edge. Apply heat directly at the edge you are pushing and use a rocking motion and force to wrinkle/scrape/smear the film off. You will be left with goo. Buy a spray can of 3M Adhesive Remover. Spray on. Respray to keep wet, then use the scraper to remove the goo. Worth the $ and they'll have the small pink scraper that's good for this work as well. Some have luck just repeatedly spraying the part before scraping and its so fractured the 3M product soaks into the adhesive and makes it all come off in one gooey scrape. That's also a good strategy. Be sure to clean it well so your work does not have grit in the goo. By that I mean use the spray around the edges where there may be a dark line of dirt embedded in the adhesive that will cause scratching.
I just did this on my passenger side and will complete it when the car is not tight against the wall. I owned a 3M Clear Bra shop for 15 years.
