Instructions for use
| Important
|
Tempro 75 Remover is a high-alkaline product (high pH). It should be used only on bodywork surfaces to which paint protector has been applied.
|
| 1. |
Mix Tempro 75 Remover with hot water to a concentration of 2-4%%. If water having a lower temperature is used to rinse off Tempro 75 Remover and the paintwork protector (see point 5), the concentration should be higher (but not more than 15%%).
| 2. |
Flush loose dirt off the car with a high-pressure power washer.
| 3. |
Wet all parts of the bodywork covered by paint protector with Tempro 75 Remover, using a spray gun or the high-pressure power washer. The car should be at room temperature to ensure that the paint protector will be dissolved.
| Important
|
On convertible cars, leave the transport protection in place over the soft top when washing off the paint protector with Tempro 75 Remover.
|
| 4. |
Allow Tempro 75 Remover to act for about three minutes. Note that it must not be allowed to dry. If it does, apply additional Tempro 75 Remover.
| 5. |
Rinse off the Tempro 75 Remover and the paint protector under high pressure with hot water (but not hotter than +60 °C).
| 6. |
Remove any remaining paint protector using a sponge and Tempro 75 Remover.
| 7. |
Wash the car, using a car shampoo.
|
Final dismantling and finishing measures
| 1. |
Use concentrated washer fluid to clean all the windows and remove all residual grease from the windscreen and wiper blades.
| 2. |
Remove transit and storage protection from doors, floor and seats. Inspect the interior of the car for spots and stains and remove any you find.
|
|
| Warning
|
|
The protective plastic must be removed before the car is handed over to the customer as protective plastic in the car does not meet the requirement of inflammability (legal requirement).
|
Remove any spots and stains on the upper horizontal surface of the dashboard with a lukewarm soap solution. Rinse the surface with clean water before drying it.
| Important
|
Vinyl sprays and the like must never be used as they could be the cause of a film forming on the windscreen and seriously reducing visibility.
|
| 3. |
Clean rubber mouldings, tyre sidewalls and bumpers.
| 4. |
Inspect the car, remove spots and stains. If necessary, polish the car.
