Diamond Shield Removal
« on: July 01, 2020, 10:45:38 am »
Wife & I just spent 22 hours removing Diamond Shield from mirrors & header on our 2011 PC 2551. Talk about a nightmare...
I will never buy another product with this crap on it ! Bought a set of plastic chisels & heavy duty solvent remover from Amazon. Back breaking, time consuming work, but it beats paying the $2000 - $3000 to have a dealer do it.

Doesn’t sound like a task I’d care to undertake.  It’s no wonder it costs so much to have it done. Was it peeling that bad that there was no alternative?

I shared in another post that I am restoring a Saturn Sky.  On the trunk lid, Saturn placed something like Diamond Shield under the flip-up rear buttresses.  They were a total disaster as shown.

It took so much pain and suffering on my part to get.....
From this which was once clear film.


In the middle of it here.


To this.


Cleaning it off a Phoenix Cruiser is unthinkable.
Bonnie and Rich, I commend your determination.
