Removing Vinyl Wrap

[JonniP]

Hi Guys

I just bought a car that is in tidy nick but it has some carbon fibre wrap that im not a big fan of.

Its on:
Roof
Spoiler
bonnet vent
Door pillars

Whats the best and safest way to remove it without damaging the paint? And then i assume something like tardis to remove the residue?

I was thinking to heat it up and pull off by hand?

Thanks in advance

Jonni

Heat it up with either a hair dryer or a steam wallpaper stripper, peel it off with your fingers, then clean the area with petrol/thinners/tardis.

Make sure you polish the area afterwards as the chemicals in the solvents will strip the paint of anything and everything.

Dan has it spot on. Don't do it cold as you'll leave behind more sticky mess to get rid of.

Agreed. More so when it's not air flow.
