Removal of RAPGARD-F: Bubbling

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Volvo S40, 2003 Volvo S40, 2002 Volvo S40, 2001 Volvo S40, and 2000 Volvo S40. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Inspect paintwork for bubbling after any adhesive residue has been removed. Bubbling is usually temporary and will disappear within 24 hours  . If there is still bubbling after 48 hours  , heat carefully using a hot-air gun. Hold the air pistol approximately 30 cm  from the paint.

NOTE: the temperature of paintwork must not exceed 100°C

If the bubbling persists, the paintwork must be sanded down and touched up.
