Title: STAINS ON RAPGARD APPLIED AREAS
On some Lexus models, when Rapgard is removed from the vehicle, a stain is left on the paint surface. This stain can be seen under the clear coat and is
not a defect of the clear coat. The stain corresponds to a wrinkled area of Rapgard which retained liquids, such as window washer fluid, that left a
discoloration.
REPAIR PROCEDURE:
To remove a stain from a vehicle, heat the stain surface to a temperature of 70°C - 80°C. When the stain is removed it will not reappear.
Equipment -
1.
Infrared lamp or dryer to heat the surface.
2.
Aluminum foil or a damp cloth to protect plastic parts from deformation.
Procedure -
1.
Apply aluminum foil to adjoining plastic parts or cool with damp cloth periodically.
2.
Use an infrared lamp or dryer on the stain developed area and heat for 5 to 10 minutes at 70°C - 80°C.
3.
After heating for 5 minutes, check whether the stain has disappeared. If the stain still remains, reheat the area and check again.
NOTE:
Take care that the body's paint surface temperature does not become too high.
