Fault: Remove stickers from the body
Quick and easy removal method
adhesive residue from stickers on the body.
- Sealing doors during evacuation. (Residues of glue from paper stickers-seals during evacuation to a special parking lot.
Glue in sunlight lags behind the paper base and remains on the body)
- Placement of special signs. (The Spikes sign must be removed when using summer tires.
Low-grade and low-quality stickers leave glue on the body.)
- Placement of armor films and tinting. (Armoring films wear out over time and need to be replaced.
When removing the old film, there may be glue residue on the body.)
- Advertising pasting. (Promotional stickers do not last more than a year, fade and scratch.
After removing them, dirty marks may remain on the body)
- Hooligan actions. (For example, they put a sticker on you "I don't care about anyone, I park where I want.")
Possible consequences of failure to correct
Peeled, not completely removed stickers can cause clouding of the paintwork, as well as corrosion. Removing stickers and adhesive residue mechanically is fraught with deep scratches. In addition, there is a risk of delamination of the coating, especially on plastic and galvanized parts. In all these cases, expensive body repairs may be required, the cost of the car will decrease, and the corrosion resistance inherent in factory-painted elements will be lost.
