Film removal
Remove the film, protect the paint beneath it.
Controlled wrap and lettering removal at AVP near Zurich using paint inspection, measured heat and separate adhesive-residue treatment.
Film removal
Inspect the film and paint before applying heat.
Film age, adhesive, sunlight and the condition of the paint beneath it determine how a wrap or lettering can be removed. Pulling too hard or using blades risks the finish.
We test an edge, use controlled heat and remove adhesive residue separately before assessing whether the exposed paint needs cleaning or refinement.
When it fits
Before sale, handover or a new visual concept.
Professional film removal suits sound painted surfaces where old wraps, lettering or graphics should come away cleanly.
Remove adhesive without leaving a film.
Glue is treated separately after the film itself has been released.
Use heat and control, not a blade.
Temperature and pulling angle are adapted to film age and paint stability.
Protect the finish that matters underneath.
Exposed paint is inspected for fading, repair edges and previous damage.
Process
Test, release, clean and inspect.
Paint and film condition guide removal before residue treatment and final care.
Inspect
We check film age, paint repairs, edge condition and likely adhesive behaviour.
Release film
Controlled heat and pulling angle reduce stress on the surface.
Remove residue
Remaining adhesive is dissolved with paint-compatible products.
Review
The exposed finish is cleaned and assessed for fading or correction.
Honest assessment
Removal can reveal damage that was already present.
Old respray, failing clear coat, corrosion and long-term colour difference may become visible or lift with the film.
A test area establishes the risk before full removal begins.
