I put this video together very quickly to answer some comments on a previous video. Everyone wanted to know I cleaned the clear protective cover, 3M/diamond shield, from the front of my 2001 Beaver Patriot Thunder. While I made a very quick short from video, I tried to make a coherent video to explain my process. When I say it takes time and engery and patience, I mean it, that's why I didn't want to try to make a long video at the time, also I was in a rush. Hopefully my instructions make sense, and it's possible the one thing I said not to do, is what I did, because some people may be upset with my solvent.

Thanks for watching!!

    That is a good looking Beaver. I always enjoy seeing videos with your pride and joy getting pampered. Thank you James for the tip with the non marring plastic scrapers and the sandpaper tip. Happy trails!

    I spent 3 solid days with plastic razor blades - thinners - heat gun and petrol. The RV is great otherwise so was well worth it. Patients is everything.

    TKS again for the info. Saw a Tiffin, on-line, for sale, that had a beautiful body, but the front end was butt ugly. Now I know what happened, maybe, and see there is hope for it. You really do a great job explaining things.

    I removed the shield from our β€˜01 Country Coach. Like you said, it’s work but doable. The Sun is definitely your friend. Mine was also much worse. Looked like the front of the Coach had been on fire before I started. They claim the updated stone shield does not degrade like the older stuff.

    I used the plastic razor blades, and found the best time to do it was hot hot day facing into the sun,

    I enjoy what you do. My future plans are to get me an RV and recondition it. You give me perspective on the issues I most likely will encounter. Thank you.
