Introduction
On some vehicles, when Rapgard™ is removed, the paint may have a stained appearance.
These stains appear to be under the clear coat. The stain patterns are usually under wrinkles
in the Rapgard™. 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. Use the following
procedure to address this condition.

Apply heat for 5 – 10 minutes at 158˚F – 176˚F (70˚C – 80˚C). Do NOT allow the surface to
become hotter than 176˚F (80˚C). Measure the temperature with a thermometer.
