    Default Experts, please help with rubber removal

    I have a 997.2 GT3 RS with the vinyl graphics and full front clear bra. Removing rubber from the paint is no problem, but the vinyl areas have proven to be a challenge. What is the best product to remove rubber from the graphics and clear bra?

    Thank you very much.
    Chris

    Is this rubber or tar? on vinyl and clear bras i use a citrus based tar remover on a cloth that i lightly rub over the tar to remove. (in the UK i use Valet Pro Citrus Tar Remover)

    due to the glue used in vinyl the normal procedures can be dangerous as they will melt the glue.

    Premier Protective Films (PF1) Film Cleanse is a non-aerosol product that is designed specifically for the acrylic clear coat of today’s paint protection film. The clear coat on clear bras are very different from the clear coat on cars’ paint today, which is why Premier in early 2008 set out to develop a product that can properly clean paint protection film. The product will not dry out the pores of the film and does not carry any type of polish that can abrade the film. Film Cleanse is a deep cleaner with acrylic resins designed to lift the dirt off the film before cleaning / wiping. The product not only deep cleans, but it also does not strip the film of protective sealants and waxes.

    PF1-Tire, Tar and Rubber (TTR) - engineered by Premier to assist in removing tough, stubborn markings from paint protection film; this product can safely eliminate tough transfer from clear bras. This has been tested on all major brands of film and has been successful in extracting track rubber, smudges, and colour transfers.

    How about we send you a sample of our cleaner fluid? That way it will not cost you $ to try a load of products to find the right one.

    Our cleaner fluid is NON abrasive and used with an applicator im sure it will work.

    Drop me a message if you are interested.
