How to remove paint protection film depends on the product used and its condition. While we'd advise professional intervention instead of a DIY job, it is possible to do it yourself without damaging the underlying paintwork. Using a paint-safe plastic tool, you can try to lift the film - if it comes off in bits and pieces or resists too much, use a heat gun to loosen the adhesive (make sure to keep the heat at least eight inches from the surface). Use the plastic scraping tool as you go. You may need to invest in professional adhesive remover, too.
