DartGTDan Posted July 4, 2015 Report Share Posted July 4, 2015 Washed the wife's white 2015 RT yesterday. Noticed there is A LOT of residue, from the factory applied (for shipping) paint protection on the roof. Does NOT come off with the sponge and Meguiars car wash product. How do I remove this stuff?

dhh3 Posted July 4, 2015 Report Share Posted July 4, 2015 I have never heard of paint protection from the factory. I just see cars on the car carriers with white plastic sheets covering the areas that might chip, on the way to the dealers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lvcoyote Posted July 5, 2015 Report Share Posted July 5, 2015 It's the residue left behind when those sheets are removed. My white 2015 R/T had the same goo left behind. Bug and tar remover worked great for getting the goo spots off. dhh3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bramfrank Posted July 5, 2015 Report Share Posted July 5, 2015 I'd roll it by the dealer and have them remove it since it is a result of improper preparation. 2late4u and dhh3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2late4u Posted July 5, 2015 Report Share Posted July 5, 2015 right, take it back to the dealer tell them you expect a complete detail job on your new car that's what they are supposed to deliver to you.. dhh3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkeaton Posted July 5, 2015 Report Share Posted July 5, 2015 Take it back. My car has the same stuff on the roof but since I can't see it, it makes no nevermind to me. dhh3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DartGTDan Posted July 5, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2015 Yes, I agree the dealer should've been prepped better. It's just a lease car, and trips back to the dealer are such a hassle (time away from work, the wife's schedule, etc...) I was hoping I could find something to use to remove this stuff quickly at home. dhh3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
