How to remove overlays?

I want to remove my tail overlays, but it looks to be a tough job.
They have been on for ~2months.
Help!

Any insight would be appreciated!

Got to get 'em off....!

Here's my process, spray bottle with water....lift a corner....spray and keep
going until it's gone. Then GooGone to remove the stickey and wax after
to complete the job....take your time.

Have you ever had a problem with Googone damaging (clouding) the plastic?
Just wondering because it's solvent based...

Try using a hair dryer to help remove it by heat up the spot your taking off and start peeling while following the heat .
