Starting at the corners of each panel, remove liquid film in one steady motion.
Paint inspection after film removal
-
Inspect painted surfaces under one of the following lighting conditions:

Outdoors under bright sunlight.
Temporary paint discoloration or swelling, caused by residual water in the film material diffusing into the paint, may become visible after film removal.

Severe paint discoloration or swelling can be removed with a heat gun or hair dryer as follows:
-
Hold heat gun approximately 3 in. away from affected paint surfaces and apply heat using slow oscillating motions until discoloration is gone.
