1. A method of protecting a surface, said method comprising:
- applying to said surface a coating composition consisting essentially of an emulsion selected from the group consisting of a vinyl-acrylic copolymer and a vinyl acetate ethylene emulsion, wherein said coating composition is without a releasing agent; and
drying said coating composition to form on said surface a substantially continuous water-resistant and water vapor resistant film; and
removing said composition from said surface.

Abstract
Methods are provided for protecting exterior surfaces of automobiles and other products, or components of products, against abrasion, abrasive dust, water, acid rain, etc. The methods involve applying to a surface a protective coating composition comprising an emulsion selected from the group consisting of a vinyl-acrylic copolymer emulsion and a vinyl acetate-ethylene emulsion. The emulsion is dried to form a water-resistant protective coating that can be removed from the underlying surface by peeling when no longer desired.
