    How should I go about getting rid of these? One on each side. I’ve tried a heat gun and it was not working great. Second picture is after trying the heat gun

    Mineral Spirits might break that down and clean it off, without damaging paint.

    Ya.
    Long enough to soak in a little.

    If you have some WD40 laying around you could try that too.

    3M Sticker and Label remover. Spry it down and allow it to soak a few minutes. Then lightly with the plastic blades.

    Did mine the same way. Heat, plastic razor type scraper, pull straight towards you, slowly. Then the 3m on the residue, buff and wax sealant and done.

    I said f-it and painted my flares with textured bedliner spray, left the paint protection underneath because who cares? Only did this because the clear was failing and I’m too cheap to invest in paintwork on a 20yr old truck with 200k on the odo.

    as others said, if you want to put in the sweat time heat and solvent will remove it well.
