1 - TAPE 2 - DIRECTION OF ROTATION OF STRIPE OFF WHEEL 3 - DIRECTION OF MOVEMENT OF DRILL/STRIPE OFF WHEEL - All tape/residue must be completely removed from the deck lid surface. Use a 3M™ Stripe-Off Wheel (Part Nos. 07498 or 07499, which are solid wheels) to remove the tape/residue without damaging the vehicle surface.
- The following technique is necessary for the removal Stripe-Off Wheel to work with the 3M™ Acrylic Plus Tape: The wheel must rotate and be applied to the tape so that the wheel is providing a lifting or peeling action to the tape this will help to prevent smearing of the tape.
- After removal of the tape/residue with the wheel, use 3M™ Prep Solvent-70 (Part No. 08973) as a cleaning wipe. Then wipe with isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol and dry with a clean, lint-free cloth.
