Delivery of new si with plastic residue

magpilot · 11-01-2006, 06:41 PM

Hey I just took delivery. I noticed that the white protective plastic on the hood, roof and trunk in some places left some of the glue or white plastic itself. Has anyone had this and what's the best way to get it off. I've been able to rub a section off to test and it will come off with a good finger rub but I don't want to mess up my new paint.

Any suggestions? Would a good clay bar take it off?

When we girls got bored at the dealership, we'd sit out in the parking lot, talk like typical chicks and pick the glue off of the RSXs. It comes off just by picking at the edge of it with your nail. The rest should come off when you wash.

Shouldnt the dealer wash the car before they hand over the keys?

they do. They detail it. But I've seen so many cars that are only 98% done on delivery. It's annoying and aggrivating to get a car on delivery and have something off on it. If you have a while before delivery and you're not busy, you can take it back and get the P's and Q's checked. It's not going to hurt the car. It comes off.
