Car maintenance for newly fitted PPF
1. Give PPF at least seven days to cure before washing the vehicle.
2. If you are using a pressure washer, keep away from the film’s edges. It could cause the edges to lift, reducing the protection.
3. If you are planning to wipe the surface, make sure it’s hydrated. Wiping dry PPF can damage it.
4. Don’t use any abrasives or chemicals. If you can’t remove dirt, oil, or debris from your car, ask for professional assistance.
