    Have the exact same spec on order. Your videos have been super helpful. You’ve helped me solve a lot of the little nitpicks I’d had with it (sticker, piano black etc.) please keep these coming.

    Thanks for posting this. I followed your instructions and had no problem at all removing the stickers with a hairdrier, cleaning the residue (there was very little) with clay and polishing. Looks great.

      Awesome, glad all went well. Looks much better without the stickers in my opinion.

      More to come with the Polestar 2, just struggling to get the time.
      Still need to do my 1 year on video, and software updates, etc.

    I think that sticker belongs on the inside of the door frame. Probably by the B pilar. Will try and move mine when car arrives.

      I think it would have been better if it was just Polestar 2, not with the battery info on there.

      Agreed. would of been ok elsewhere not in plain sight. Looks like something you would have on the front of a new tv that is made to come off before use. Yuk.

      @@jsouto77 On the plus side, getting it off early is an easy job.

    I kind of like the sticker. Makes it look like it’s a prototype or something.

      Each to their own, I prefer the clean look.

    You've got balls of steel! I was wincing just watching you. Fair play, the final look is a bit more subtle. Not something I've considered. Good video. In a future video, I'll be interested to see what range you get as my forecasted range is rather poor! Hopefully warmer weather will have a good impact. Cheers

      Ha ha. Many years of removing car badges and stickers from stuff. First time is the worst, just need to not get to cocky :).
      Will deffo be talking about range in future videos. With lock down and home schooling I am yet to hit 100 miles :(
      Thanks for watching and commenting.

    I had this done at the Volvo garage when i picked it up, they just pulled it of and cleaned it with some alcohol based cleaning product. What you did seems less risky tho

    • @SpectrumGeeks
      @SpectrumGeeks  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      I guess at least if Volvo screwed it up they would have to put it right. When you DIY its all on you :)

    I peeled off as much as I could, then used a plastic spugger tool for the rest. Rubbed down with vegetable oil, wiped it all up and Bob’s your uncle.

    Hello. I have removed the sticker without previously heating it and I have left adhesive residue. What do you recommend I should do? I have bought this product: AutoGlanz Spar-Tar .
    Do you think it could go well? Thank you and congratulations for your videos.

    • @SpectrumGeeks
      @SpectrumGeeks  ปีที่แล้ว

      Yes that product will probably help remove.
      Make sure the paintwork is clear before attempting to remove, and do not rub hard or you may scratch the paintwork.

    Happy for you chap and good riddance of them tacky (no pun intended) decals. Keep on rolling :)

    This is probably one of the most annoying thing I've done. The sticker "hardened" and it's brittle so it keeps breaking off..
    Edit: I got fed up and used my heat gun along with a car trim removal kit. Took me 10 secs to take it off lol

  • @missionsed5331
    @missionsed5331 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    very good and actually i will do the same on mine as soon as i get it (ETA 3 weeks)... is that the midnight color ? it looks beautiful !

    • @SpectrumGeeks
      @SpectrumGeeks  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yup, Midnight with Performance Pack.

    If this has been an "apple car", then you would have lost the warranty, and received an error message that you did not have an original door 😂😂😂

    Glue cleanup - use WD40.

    • @SpectrumGeeks
      @SpectrumGeeks  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yup another good tip.
      Goo Gone is another option.

      Fairly gormless comment. As we’ve all but killed manufacturing in the UK, pretty much everything is brought via shipping container from China.
