Introduction
On some vehicles when Rapgard(TM) is removed the paint may have a stained appearance. These stains appear to be under the clear coat (repainting this
area is not necessary). The stain patterns are usually under wrinkles in the Rapgard TM. These wrinkles sometimes trap water and cause the paint to stain
from the trapped moisture especially on horizontal surfaces such as the hood roof and trunk. Stains can be removed by heating the stained surface to
remove the trapped moisture.
