Here's how to maintain your paint protection film to keep it looking great:
1. Initial Care After Installation:
- Wait 48-72 hours after installation before washing your vehicle.
2. Cleaning Stains:
- Remove insect or other stains promptly using a Film Cleaner.
- For stubborn stains, use 99% isopropyl alcohol. Be cautious to keep these chemicals away from the vehicle’s paint.
3. Sealing for Protection:
- Apply a Protection Film Sealant at least once every 3 months to maintain a high gloss. Follow the installation instructions provided.
4. Handling Light Scratches:
- Light scratches on the film will typically self-heal in 20-30 minutes at room temperature.
- In colder conditions, or to speed up healing, pour warm water (120°F) over the scratched area.
5. Avoiding High-Pressure Washing:
- Do not use a pressure washer or high-pressure water near the edges of the film, as it can cause lifting or damage.
6. Removing Contaminants:
- Use Detailing Clay to safely remove contaminants from the film surface.
7. Handling Fuel Spills:
- Immediately wipe off fuel spills to prevent degradation of the vinyl and adhesive. Wash, rinse, and dry the area as soon as possible.
8. Products to Avoid:
- Never use the following cleaning products on your wrap:
- Solvents or oil-based cleaners
- Kitchen and oven cleaners
- Bathroom cleaners
- Orange and citrus oils
- Engine degreasers
Following these guidelines will help ensure your paint protection film remains in excellent condition for a long time.
