Removing Transparent Protectors on the Wing

Model: Porsche Cayman 987 - Years 2006-2012
Part: Body

Nowadays, many cars have transparent plastic protectors applied at points on the bodywork most exposed to stones on our roads. They are very useful for protecting the bodywork from dirt and scratches, but over time they can yellow or take on an unsightly appearance. They are applied with a very strong adhesive that does not come off even with high-pressure water from car washes. However, no matter how strong the glue may be, it cannot withstand steam heat. In fact, to easily remove the adhesives, the right technique is to heat them with steam so that the glue remains attached to the plastic and not to the bodywork. Once the adhesive is completely removed, any remaining glue can be removed with alcohol or, in extreme cases, with petrol.
