SUPPORT

  • To ensure long-term protection of your paint protection film, you should regularly inspect it for wear, wash it every 1-2 weeks with a pH-neutral shampoo, and promptly remove contaminants like bird droppings. Avoid automated car washes, aggressive scrubbing, and using harsh chemicals that could damage the film

    Immediate Aftercare Steps

    • Do not wash your vehicle for at least 48 hours after installation to allow curing.

    • Park indoors or in shaded areas during the first 48 hours to support adhesive bonding.

    • Avoid parking under trees to prevent sap or debris from damaging the fresh film.

    • Manage temperature exposure: avoid temps below 32°F or above 100°F for 2 weeks.

    • Keep your car out of direct sunlight for about 3 days post-installation.

    • Inspect for bubbles or imperfections within the first week and address them promptly.

    Long-Term Maintenance Tips

    • Remove bird droppings, sap, and contaminants immediately using a spray detailer and microfiber towel.

    • Apply an annual ceramic coating to protect against UV rays and preserve gloss.

    • Regular inspections every few months help catch early signs of damage.

    Proper Washing Techniques

    • Use the two-bucket wash method every 1-2 weeks.
