    hey i used a hair dryer as well just to get it heated up, peals off heaps easy if you get it right, blade was heaps good to get it stated (manage not to scratch my car) only done one side completely clean, gonna get otherside done today, and i also used eucalyptus oil instead of petrol and gave it a good wash after worked heaps good. thanks for the tips mate
