CAUSE

Adhesives from the foam used in transportation may have transferred to the paint.

REMEDY

Heat the cloudy area with an IR heater to 80-90°C and observe whether the cloudiness changes as a result of the effect of heat. Generally, the spots should disappear after 30 minutes.

While the surface is warm, use cleaning agent A 005 989 19 71 to ensure the adhesive is removed.
