Place it flat next to the treated area after every pass. If you cannot leave it there comfortably, the metal is too hot: stop the machine, let the disc and paint cool down, then continue. In the practical test by AUTO ZEITUNG, half the machine's power was completely sufficient and, in case of doubt, even produced better results.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe eraser wheel rubs off the film instead of grinding the paint\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn eraser wheel is a rotating disc made of rubber or plastic that softens film and adhesive through frictional heat and rolls them off the surface instead of removing the underlying paint. On a car, it encounters advertising lettering on company vehicles, pinstripes, dealer stickers, double-sided tape under emblems, and adhesive surfaces that remain after peeling off old film.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe operating principle is frictional heat. The disc runs over the film with light pressure; the friction heats up the film and adhesive at that exact spot, the adhesive loses its grip and rolls off together with the film, just as an eraser removes pencil from paper. For you, this means: you don't have to drive a blade under brittle, weathered film that breaks into small pieces every time you try to start.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe same heat makes the eraser a tool that demands attention. In the practical test by AUTO ZEITUNG, the surface became very hot very quickly. Eraser wheels do not remove paint like sandpaper, but they can overheat it if the disc rotates too quickly or stays in one spot for too long. Therefore, the substrate, speed, and movement are more decisive than the disc itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere is a name trap: a \"dirt eraser\" (magic sponge) is a sponge for manual cleaning and shares nothing with the eraser wheel except the word. For the disc on a drill, you might hear \"eraser disc,\" \"eraser wheel,\" or the English \"eraser wheel\" in the scene. The same tool is always meant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDisc, adapter, and drill only work as a system\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn eraser wheel only functions with a mount and drive: the disc sits on an adapter, the adapter in the machine, and the machine provides a controllable, low speed. If one of the three parts is missing, nothing turns.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt Koch-Chemie, these are two items: the 87 mm diameter eraser wheel and the adapter for drills, which the manufacturer sells as a separately available connecting piece for the drill. Koch-Chemie does not verify whether the disc fits into other mounts or if the adapter can carry other discs. Therefore, we do not promise it either.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKoch-Chemie names the drill as the drive. Anyone looking for an eraser wheel for a cordless screwdriver is essentially looking for a machine that can be turned slowly and evenly, such as a drill with a speed dial or a cordless drill\/driver with a chuck and sensitive trigger. Koch-Chemie does not publish the shaft size of the adapter. Check during the first clamping that your chuck holds it firmly and without runout.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAdam's distinguishes between two designs for its eraser wheels. Solid discs generate more friction and heat and last longer; ventilated discs with cutouts stay cooler and wear out faster. The coarse flap disc in the AUTO ZEITUNG test was too aggressive and left marks. There is no manufacturer documentation stating which material or compound the Koch-Chemie eraser consists of, so we will leave it at this classification.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe disc is a wear part; it rubs away while working just like a pencil eraser. Würth advises roughening the edges of a new disc briefly before first use so that it grips immediately. For large lettering, it is worth checking the disc in between: if the running surface becomes uneven, it no longer works across the full width.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat lies beneath the film determines the use of the eraser\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe substrate, not the sticker, determines the use: Koch-Chemie approves its eraser for paint, glass, and metal, while other manufacturers explicitly exclude painted plastic parts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe standard case is factory paint on sheet metal, such as lettering on the door and tailgate of a van or a pinstripe over the fender and hood. According to Koch-Chemie, glass and metal are also included, for example, the adhesive residue of old decals on a side window. A quick check beforehand: tap the component with your knuckle. Sheet metal sounds solid, a plastic part hollow and gives way slightly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe first limit is set by the paint chemistry. Thermoplastic paints, such as older acrylic or nitro paints, soften again when heated, similar to candle wax next to a flame. For you, this means: on such paint, the eraser wheel will not only remove the film but will smear the paint itself. 3M and Chemicar exclude such paints for their eraser wheels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePainted plastic parts are the second exclusion. Bumpers and motorcycle fairings consist of plastic, which dissipates frictional heat poorly and can soften itself. Würth explicitly names plastic parts and painted plastics like bumpers as unsuitable, 3M mentions polyolefin bumpers, and Chemicar mentions soft plastics, acrylic, and plexiglass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRefinished parts also do not belong under the disc, because Chemicar excludes any paint that is not from the factory. Water-based paints are a separate case: Würth reports isolated cases of discoloration and advises testing on an inconspicuous area beforehand. On plastic parts and refinished surfaces, you work with heat, a plastic blade from the \u003ca href=\"\/it\/collections\/schaber\"\u003escrapers\u003c\/a\u003e category, and an agent from the \u003ca href=\"\/it\/collections\/klebstoffentferner\"\u003eadhesive remover\u003c\/a\u003e category that is approved for this substrate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eToo much speed turns frictional heat into paint damage\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn eraser wheel works with low speed, light pressure, and constant movement; if the disc lingers in one spot or rotates too fast, the paint underneath overheats.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe speed, measured in revolutions per minute, determines how much heat is generated per second. Koch-Chemie does not publish a value for its eraser. Other eraser wheel manufacturers help with classification: 3M specifies an optimum of about 2,000 revolutions per minute and warns that some paints are damaged above 2,500. Würth limits its eraser to 2,000, and several manufacturers set an absolute upper limit of 4,000 for their discs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTranslated, this means: the drill runs well below its maximum speed, for many machines on a low setting of the dial. These numbers apply to the discs of the respective manufacturers and are explicitly not Koch-Chemie specifications. However, they show the direction in which all sources agree: slow instead of fast.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe process itself is simple. Clean the surface so that no dirt gets between the disc and the paint. Attach the disc firmly to the adapter, the adapter in the drill. Then apply with light pressure, let the disc do the work, and move in passes over the film without standing still in one place. Let the disc and metal cool down in between before continuing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSources contradict each other on the angle of application: AUTO ZEITUNG applied it at an angle, while other manufacturers want the full disc width without tilting. We therefore do not set a fixed angle, but recommend uniform contact, where no edge presses into the paint. Safety goggles are mandatory because pieces of film and disc abrasion fly away. Würth additionally advises hearing and hand protection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExpect it to take time. For the lettered hood of a van, AUTO ZEITUNG needed 20 to 30 minutes. With the first component, this feels slow, and that is exactly how it should be. Anyone who impatiently increases the speed mainly applies more heat to the clear coat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAfter erasing, the adhesive remover takes care of the rest\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe eraser removes the film and thick adhesive layer; the thin adhesive film and abrasion afterwards are handled by an adhesive remover and a clean microfiber cloth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKoch-Chemie names three of its own products for the remaining adhesive residue: Orange Power, Eulex, and Eulex M. In the range, you will find the Koch-Chemie \u003ca href=\"\/it\/products\/koch-chemie-eulex-eu-klebstoffentferner\"\u003eEulex \"Eu\"\u003c\/a\u003e and the Koch-Chemie \u003ca href=\"\/it\/products\/koch-chemie-orange-power-op-klebstoffentferner-baumharzentferner-gummientferner\"\u003eOrange Power \"Op\"\u003c\/a\u003e. Further agents can be found in the \u003ca href=\"\/it\/collections\/klebstoffentferner\"\u003eadhesive remover\u003c\/a\u003e category. Here, the order counts: first mechanical, then chemical.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNot every residue is adhesive. In the AUTO ZEITUNG test, a yellowish-brown haze of hot film and eraser residue remained after erasing, which could only be removed with difficulty with polish. If the adhesive remover no longer dissolves anything, the task falls to a \u003ca href=\"\/it\/collections\/politur\"\u003epolish\u003c\/a\u003e, not more chemicals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor wiping, use a clean cloth from the \u003ca href=\"\/it\/collections\/mikrofasertucher\"\u003emicrofiber cloths\u003c\/a\u003e category, which picks up the dissolved adhesive instead of spreading it. Change the side of the cloth often, because a saturated cloth just pushes the film back and forth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe same two Koch-Chemie items are also in the brand category \u003ca href=\"\/it\/collections\/koch-chemie-folienradierer\"\u003eEraser wheels from Koch-Chemie\u003c\/a\u003e. The entire path from sticker to clean paint is described in the Koch-Chemie guide \u003ca href=\"\/it\/collections\/koch-chemie-ratgeber-kleberreste-entfernen\"\u003eRemoving adhesive residue\u003c\/a\u003e. The eraser itself belongs in \u003ca href=\"\/it\/collections\/folienzubehoer\"\u003efilm accessories\u003c\/a\u003e, where tools relating to film on the vehicle are kept, from removal to application.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe small sticker needs a hairdryer and plastic blade, the lettering needs an eraser\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor a single dealer sticker, a hairdryer, plastic scraper, and adhesive remover are completely sufficient; the eraser on the drill is worth it for large-scale, weathered lettering, pinstripes, and entire adhesive surfaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA dealer logo on the tailgate or a small sticker can be warmed up, lifted with a plastic blade, and the adhesive film then chemically dissolved. Setting up a drill for this serves no purpose, and you avoid any heat risk. Honestly: for this case, you don't need an eraser.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe situation is different with decals that have been exposed to the sun for years. Such film breaks into small pieces when pulled off, and every attempt with a blade is a potential scratch. Here, the eraser saves the scraping work because it removes film and adhesive in one pass. This also applies to pinstripes and the tape under removed emblems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSearch demand for this tool is highest every year from March to May. Anyone starting then should work in the shade and on a cool component: metal that has already become hot in the sun leaves you less margin before the paint becomes too warm when erasing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll tools have one limit in common: the shadow of an old lettering. The paint under the film was protected from UV light for years, while the surrounding paint was not, and this aging difference remains visible as an outline after removal. In the scene, this is called ghosting. The eraser removes film and adhesive, not the color difference. A polish softens it, but does not eliminate it in every case.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOften, removal is just the first step. Anyone applying paint protection film to the now-freed surface afterwards needs an \u003ca href=\"\/it\/collections\/montagefluessigkeit-fuer-lackschutzfolie-ppf\"\u003eapplication fluid for paint protection film\u003c\/a\u003e for wet application, on which the new film can glide until it is in place.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the end, it is not decided by how firmly a sticker is attached, but by what lies underneath. Factory paint on metal, glass, or metal: eraser, low setting, constant motion. Painted plastic part or refinished surface: heat, plastic blade, approved adhesive remover. Whoever answers this one question before the first pass makes the decision before the machine is running, and not only when the paint gets warm.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"koch-chemie-folienradierer-bohrmaschine","title":"Disco in gomma rimuovi adesivi per trapano","description":"","brand":"Koch-Chemie","offers":[{"title":"1 piece \/ Ø 87 mm","offer_id":58722641215823,"sku":"D1-KCX-999306","price":16.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/3272\/7375\/files\/koch-chemie-folienradierer-bohrmaschine.png?v=1788950638"},{"product_id":"koch-chemie-folienradierer-adapter-bohrmaschine","title":"Adattatore da trapano per disco rimuovi adesivi","description":"","brand":"Koch-Chemie","offers":[{"title":"1 piece","offer_id":58722642755919,"sku":"D1-KCX-999307","price":7.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/3272\/7375\/files\/koch-chemie-folienradierer-adapter-bohrmaschine.png?v=1788950693"}],"url":"https:\/\/detailing1.co\/it\/collections\/folienradierer.oembed","provider":"Detailing1","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
