| Removing |
The paint protector may be removed with temperatures in the range 0 to +35°C; the most suitable temperature is +20°C. If the body and the ambient temperatures are above +35°C, park the car in the shade or cool it down with water until the body has attained a suitable temperature.
| Important | ||
Adhesive residue may fasten to the paintwork at high temperatures. | ||
The paint protector must be removed at least 48 hours before the car is shown to a customer so that any swelling has time to go down.
| 1. | Loosen the corners of the paint protector. Use your hands only; no tools | |
| 2. | Hold the paint protector as close as possible to the bodywork. | |
| 3. | Pull parallel to the body surface at an even rate, do not jerk. | |
| 4. | Wash the car with water and dry it | |
| 5. | Make sure there is no adhesive residue remaining. If there is, remove it with petroleum spirit (low-aromatic petroleum hydrocarbon) or Isopropanol (Isopropyl alcohol). Use these sparingly and for short periods only. | |
When the paint protector and any adhesive residue has been removed, there may be swelling in paintwork. This is normally temporary and will disappear within 48 hours.
