I have successfully removed protective film/decals and once even a "I ❤️ *****" bumper sticker with a heat gun and a plastic scraper.

Keep the heat gun about 10"-12" away from the fender. Heat guns can get very hot.

If you can get an edge away from the body, 3M makes a weatherstrip/trim adhesive remover spray for auto bodies.
