PPF Maintenance
5 Maintenance Tips for Paint Protection Film
Once you’ve taken the plunge on applying PPF, it’s important to keep your vehicle in mint condition by properly maintaining the PPF installation. Don’t wash your car after paint protection film installation. The film needs to settle and cure, and putting pressure on the coating could affect this.
It may take several days for the film to settle and cure. If you can avoid driving your car at all during this time, it will help keep any pressure off the PPF application.
Hard as it might be to give up going to your local car wash, you’ll have to if you want to avoid PPF damage. Pressure washers, harsh soaps, and dirty brushes can damage the application or the top layer of the film.
Low-quality products may contain harsh chemicals that will damage the car paint protection film. Make sure any microfiber cloths or mitts you buy are specifically designed for auto care.
Direct sunlight combined with car wash soap might damage the coating. Try to wash in the shade or in a garage if you can.
Any debris that your tires collect should stay far away from the body of your vehicle. Keep the two areas separate when it comes to cleaning products.
