3M Eraser Tool

I was introduced to the 3M Eraser tool and Rapid Remover (more on this further  down) through one of my contacts within the graphics and sign industry.

In the endless attempt to find additional profit centers as add-on service to my regular detail services, I do many types of decal, car badge, emblem, and vinyl graphics removal.

As I have worked to not only develop a longer list of specialized profit centers in my detail services, I have also learned a few tips and tricks in getting the most out of the 3m Eraser tool and the Rapid Remover adhesive remover.

Darren's Next Magic Trick

Having been in the world of professional detailing for over 25+ years, I have tried out what seems like an endless list of products and chemicals.

Tar and adhesive removers whether at the retail or professional level have always been less than effective and very time consuming.

Until I found the miracle answer!

Rapid Remover:
The best car adhesive remover

Rapid Remover on Amazon

• The most effective adhesive and tar remover I have ever found.
• Water soluable.
  
• Use to remove adhesive residue after removing the top layer of vinyl graphics/stickers.
  
• Also a super effective grease and oil cutter that is safe for both interior and exterior of cars, boats, RV's, etc. ( I use Rapid Remover as a pre-spotter when attempting to clean oil or grease stains from interior upholstery- just use your upholstery shampoo as normal once oil/grease stain has been cleaned)
  

Darren's Professional Tips

WARNING: Any time you are thinking of using the Stripe-Off wheel on painted "fiberglass" (think of most car bumpers) as opposed to painted metal panels on a vehicle, you have to be extremely cautious to use very little downward pressure of the wheel during use. You only apply enough pressure to keep the wheel on the surface and allow the "grab" of the wheel to do all the work. There is potential for the wheel to also "list" or peel off the paint from these Sheet Molding Compound panels/bumpers (SMC). These sheet molded compound panels can now be found to be used in almost any application of a vehicle.

Whether you are a professional detailer looking to expand your list of services, or a "Do-it-Yourselfer" looking to tackle the endless list of projects; the Stripe-Off Wheel and Rapid Remover will deliver!

• Remove bumper stickers easier than ever.
  
• Remove vinyl decals from virtually any surface; car, truck, RV, boat, window, etc.
• Safe and effective for paint, glass, gel coat, metal, etc.
• Between these two products, you can safely and quickly remove double sided tape and the adhesive residue that will always be part of any of these removal jobs.

I hope this info has helped

Sincerely,

Darren Priest
