FAQs

How long does the adhesive last?

The high-quality automotive adhesive is designed for long-lasting performance. However, its lifespan can vary depending on environmental conditions and proper surface preparation.

Can the Arch Guard be painted?

The Arch Guard is designed to be used as is, and painting it is not recommended, as it may affect the adhesive bond.

Is the Arch Guard suitable for all types of vehicles?

The Arch Guard is designed for universal fitment, and the 5m roll can be trimmed to fit most vehicles. However, it's best to measure your wheel arches before installation.

How do I remove the Arch Guard?

The Arch Guard can be removed by gently lifting an edge and slowly peeling it away from the surface. Use a heat gun or hairdryer to soften the adhesive if necessary. Any remaining adhesive residue can be removed with a suitable adhesive remover.

Can the Arch Guard be used on plastic wheel arches?

Yes, the Arch Guard can be applied to plastic wheel arches, but ensure the surface is clean and dry before application.

Troubleshooting

Arch Guard is not sticking properly.

Ensure the surface is thoroughly cleaned using the provided cleaning sachets. Make sure the application area is dry and that the guard is firmly pressed onto the surface. If needed, apply heat (e.g., from a hairdryer) to the guard to improve adhesion.

Arch Guard is too short for the wheel arch.

Carefully measure your wheel arch before installation to ensure the 5m roll is sufficient. If the roll is too short, you may need to purchase additional rolls or adjust the placement to maximize coverage.

Air bubbles are trapped under the Arch Guard.

Carefully lift the affected section of the guard and smooth out the bubbles. If the bubbles persist, use a pin to gently pierce them and press the guard back down.

Care
