Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

So I washed the car today at the car wash....hmm... bug guts... no problem I'll just move the sprayer a little closer and....damn.. Apparently I have a clear bra and I've put a bubble in it! Course the bubble now looks like the blemish that it is any thoughts on how to get rid of it or is it time for that respray of the bumper?
huh?.... that bubble was always there and you just noticed it.
Mom's hair dryer.

Nope, saw it happen and actually I didn't even know I had a plastic film on the bumper... Gonna try the hair dryer though. Hope my wife comes home soon....

Huh??? How old are you?
How about a small pin?
Right; try to pop it first [although if a bubble developed then the film is breached somewhere nearby already] it get the film to lay flat, then carefully try the hair dryer / heat gun approach; if you get it too hot it'll deform and look worse.
Thanks Whitey, I had the same thoughts. The blem is about the size of a little fingernail but I sure notice it!

If it's near an edge you can take a credit card, wrap the edge with tape so it doesn't scratch the film, and try to squeegee the bubble out. If you have to release the bubble, don't use a pin, too big and not sharp enough. Can you get a small gauge hypodermic needle? Something like an insulin needle will barely mark the surface.
Try a plastic putty knife from Home Depot or the like. They cost about $1 each, and work great for flattening bubbles without scratching.
I haven't got to it yet but the help is appreciated. It's not near the edge, a couple of inches down from the hood lip. No access to a hypo and I believe it already has a hole since I think the car wash actually punctured the plastic causing the bubble in the first place. So far I'm thinking I'll try a hair dryer.... And Ed... LW, had charm but not my style........
