RE: Headlight lenses
FYI,
On the 450LXi , the product was Llumar which has a LIFETIME warrenty for the original owner --3 M has no such warrenty and the new Llumar is 3 years-- guess they got burned.

Also for removal -consider steam generator Perhaps will not go as hot to cause burns in the paint.

i tried everything and what ended up working was this.

1. a hairdryer warming a small area
2. a heavy plastic chisel with lots of force to peel up the film. we used the wide one from this set http://www.amazon.com/Lisle-81200-Plasti...B007ZOMKAM
3. goo gone to work on the adhesive with plastic razor blades.
4. then more goo gone and more goo gone.

we did the entire front and had one piece of paint come off that was about the size of a bb. my coach is imron paint.

it looks fantastic. for pictures see my link on newellgurus.com http://newellgurus.com/Thread-3m-front-e...ld-removal

the real answer is whatever works. all i know is without the plastic chisel we would not have gotten it off
