Many manufacturers are using white plastic film in place of synthetic or wax based shipping coatings. The plastic becomes brittle with age (120 to 180 days) and becomes difficult to remove as it "shreds" while being pulled off. 

The remains must then be picked off individually resulting in an unacceptable removal time. Additionally, there is excess adhesive residue left on the surface. 

        A.  Spray or wipe "New Car Prep" (B7A-19520-AA) on to the Rapgard or the 
             painted surfaces. Allow to dwell (sit) for 3 to 5 minutes. 

        B.  Saturate a soft clean towel with "New Car Prep" and gently wipe away the 
              Rapgard pieces and adhesive. 

        C.  Wash vehicle with a solution of Detail Wash shampoo concentrate 
              (F8AZ-19520-EA) mixed 4 oz. per gallon of water. 

NOTE: New Car Prep does not contain xylene, toluene, nor benzene and will not harm painted trim, unlike other solvent based removers.
