REMOVAL PROCEDURE
Wrap film removal Peel off from the corners of the wrap film. High temperature or
low temperature may cause wrap film to become brittle. For
easier removal, the recommended Wrap Film temperature is
below 40˚C. (i.e.: If the surface of the vehicle is hot, lower it to
40˚C or less by sprinkling water so the peeling off will be
easier.)
Rinse off debris such as sand and dust thoroughly. Then dry
