I failed to remove the plastic from my steel door and now I am unable to peel it off. Can I use a heat gun or hair dryer to remove it, or is there a better way? I have tried several different things, but none seem to work.

Many metal surfaces come covered with a thin sheet of clear plastic or white plastic to keep it from getting scratched, I would use googone or goof off , I really like Dr-solve-it contractors solvent with quick release echo friendly I think I purchased at home depot but liked it so much I bought a gallon and that was years ago still have some left. – Ed Beal Dec 28 '17 at 17:52
