Some 2010 2026 model year Lexus vehicles may exhibit paint stains after the removal of Rapgard. The paint stains may appear to be under the clear coat but are usually under wrinkles in the Rapgard. The wrinkles may trap water and cause the paint to stain from the trapped moisture, especially on horizontal surfaces such as the hood, roof, and trunk.
