Transit Film Removal

Transit Film Removal Process

1. Wet vehicle thoroughly using cool to warm water.
   NOTE:

   Never use hot water to remove film: the film is designed to remove easily from the surface at ambient temperatures between 16° C. and 32° C. (60° F. AND 90° F.).

2. Peel the film off using cool to warm water from a garden hose. Combine the peeling of the film with one hand while directing the water pressure with the other.
3. Transit film may leave a wax haze on surface. Wash vehicle using Mopar Car Wash Soap Concentrate, p/n 05013677AB, or equivalent and water to remove.

Additional Steps When Transit Film:

• Has been on the vehicle for 6 months or longer
• When film is extremely dirty in appearance
• When film is stubborn to peel off by hand
• Leaves an adhesive residue on the paint

1. Wet vehicle thoroughly using cool to warm water.
   NOTE:

   Never use hot water to remove film: the film is designed to remove easily from the surface at ambient temperatures between 16° C. and 32° C. (60° F. and 90° F.).

2. Soak film using cold to warm water and wash thoroughly using Mopar Car Wash Soap Concentrate, p/n 05013677AB, or equivalent and water. If film is extremely dirty, use "woolen" vehicle wash mitt, wet surface and pour Mopar Car Wash Soap Concentrate directly onto surface and thoroughly wash the film.
3. In extreme conditions, soak towels in warm soapy water and place directly on the film surface where the film is difficult to remove, keeping the surface wet for 10-15 minutes, remove towels and remove the film.

Removal of small film particles on paint surface:

• Use Mopar Windshield Washer Solvent (p/n 04318067AB) or equivalent (methyl alcohol, methanol based). Pour directly onto a clean soft dry cloth (do not dilute the solvent). The concentrated solvent will instantly dissolve the transit film particles from paint surfaces or acrylic lenses, acrylic emblems, polycarbonate, Lexan surfaces, or unsealed rubber surfaces.

Removal of moisture marks in paint:

• Painted surfaces of the vehicle that are covered for extended periods of time with transit film may appear to have a white "milky" spot(s) on dark colors, or a fogging, coffee colored spot(s) on lighter colors (front end covers or magnetic signs can cause the same condition) and can be corrected with the following steps:
  1. Place a heat gun approximately 100 to 150 mm (4 to 6 inches) from the effected area. A target surface temperature of 80° to 107° C. (180° to 225°F.) is preferred. DO NOT APPLY HEAT ABOVE 121° C. (250°F.) TO ANY PLASTIC PARTS.
     NOTE:

     CIRCULATE THE HEAT GUN AROUND THE EFFECTED AREA. DO NOT ALLOW HEAT TO BE DIRECTED AT ONE AREA FOR TOO LONG, PAINT DAMAGE MAY OCCUR.
