Remove Shipping Protective Film Glue

[likesTOlearn]

Just picked up my new Orca Black Audi Q7 from the dealer. Instructed them not to detail so I have a lot of adhesive from the protective film used when shipping the car. What do you guys recommend for getting this off as easily as possible?

I use Dupont Prep-sol 3919s cleaning solvent. I bought a gallon that will last me forever.

Yep, Prep-Sol, then IPA wipe...

Thanks for the info guys. Anywhere in particular on the web to get it for a good price?

When I worked at a dealership we always used a cleaner wax and as far as I can remember it worked pretty well.

I use AutoInt/ValuGard's New Car Prep, but yeah, PrepSol would be a cheap alternative. Check the yellow pages for your local autobody/paint supply store.



A while back somebody posted something about how regular old mineral spirits oughta be OK for this too, but I forget the details.



Oh, and "good move!", likesTOlearn, that's the way to take delivery :xyxthumbs

3M adhesive remover will work too.

3M adhesive remover will work too.

Yeah, and that stuff's *so* handy that IMO everybody oughta have a can of it anyhow.
