Got mine from Amazon.. You can get the holder and blades. I used the red ones as well.

last winter while in FL. I noticed the mold under the Diamond Shield. I started the process of removing it and reached the point of saying the h*** with this and found a co. that only does removals. They charged $500 to come to where we were staying. There were 3 guys and they had that stuff off in an hour without any paint damage. You'd never know that crap was ever on the coach. For me it was worth the money. After all I'm retired from anything that resembles WORK!!

Mike...
Here is a link to both the Titan Scraper and the orange plastic razor blades. The blue ones are too brittle and the orange ( lots of them ) work best. I just finished mine a week ago. We are now color sanding and clear coat later this week.

I think it took about 5-7 days to get them.

I experienced the same nightmare. Maybe because my coach spent a lot of time in sunlight and high humidity areas, I dunno, but my Clear Bra started cracking and crazing in about 4 years. Then came the mold in the tiny cracks. My bra was left on way too long, because I tried to get it off, about 5 years after it was installed (installed 2004) when it started cracking and crazing badly. Labor intensive! So over the years I would try working on it a little bit at a time. And yes, I did try using the 3M Eraser wheel, plastic razor blades (even metal blades), solvents, heat guns, steamers, etc ... very frustrating. But ... Thanks Diplomat Dan! Dan's advice, from a previous older post on irv2.com of "Problems with 3m bra." Finally ended my Clear Bra Removal Nightmare, by using a 3000psi Water Pressure Washer. Viewable video at:

New Diamond Shield

Learned at the FMCA Rally in AZ that Diamond Shield now will install their new and improved Shield and if it cracks, molds etc, they will remove it and reinstall it at no charge. I still have to have our old one removed and will consider having the new one installed.

Where did you buy the xylene?
Did you use the short, or long handle for the plastic blades?
Thanks
