One of my cars had it. There are some decent YouTube videos of various techniques. I tried everything on mine. A plastic scraper with a heat gun or adhesive solvent made progress, but I didn't have the patience. Even sanding the bumper and repainting made a mess, because I didn't get it all off. In the end, I got a new bumper (Black '99).
I think it's made by 3M. Contact customer service, maybe they can suggest something.

You may be able to use conventional paint polish & wax to correct the damage to the bra. That's worked for me before.
I pulled a clear bra off a 968 earlier this year that had been on for 10+ years. Acetone, heat gun, plastic razor blades and lots of patience were all necessary. When the bra came off, the paint underneath had been protected so well that it had not faded... unlike the rest of the car. Hard to see here, but there was a distinct "horizon" about 4 inches up the hood.
