One of the most common is considered to be a vinyl protective film. With prolonged use under the influence of sunlight and other factors, it gradually loses its elasticity. To make it easier to remove the vinyl film, it is recommended to preheat it. To do this, you can use a construction hair dryer. Due to heating, the adhesive component will soften, which will facilitate the process of removing the film.

Carefully pry the coating with a thin flat object, for example, a rubber squeegee. Do not use screwdrivers, knives and other sharp objects, so as not to damage the paintwork. After that, slowly pull off a small part of the film and look at the released part of the body. If there are traces of glue on it, it means that the wrong angle of inclination was chosen. Try changing the direction of removing the film. If there are still traces of glue on the surface of the body, they can be removed using solvents, for example, white spirit or acetone.

Polyurethane protective film is also quite common. Special solvents are usually used to remove it. They are applied to the surface of the film, and then cover it with a thick cloth and leave for 10-12 hours. After that, it will be much easier to remove the coating. Sometimes, as in the case of vinyl film, heating with a construction hair dryer also helps. To minimize glue residues on the body, the polyurethane coating should be removed at an angle of 45 degrees. After that, the surface of the body is cleaned with a solvent.
