My long waited big package from Japan have finally arrived, Christmas time!!:D (delayed for 2 months due to the travel restrictions:cry:)

Just realized there's really not much for the FK7 lol
Or, to be fair, there's something for all 3 of my vehicles, and things for the FK7 is something really small but kinda unique:cool: will report later.

If we’re not supposed to
Use alcohol to clean the surface of our cars, then what can we use to prep an area for adding 3M tape on it without ruining the clear coat? Asking for a friend. ?

I have used 3M tape many times with my car and have had no issues. I just used water to scrub the car, but you could prob use soap also.

You can use alcohol to clean the area for the tape to adhere better. In fact, that makes sense to me. Alcohol will strip the wax. It does not ruin the clear coat. Just retreat the surrounding area after you finish the install and you'll be good.
