After Care Instructions

Note: Allow the film to cure for a minimum of 72 hours to ensure the pressure-sensitive adhesive fully bonds and any trapped moisture has completely evaporated. Once cured, follow the care guidelines below.

Cleaning
Remove contaminants such as insect residue and bird droppings as soon as possible. Leaving them on the surface for extended periods can cause staining or damage due to acidic content.

Washing & Rinsing
For best results, use the two-bucket wash method along with a soft lambswool wash mitt to minimize surface abrasion. If using a pressure washer, keep the nozzle at least 3 feet away and avoid directing water at the edges to prevent lifting. Always use a pH-neutral soap for safe and effective cleaning.

Cleaning Badges & Edges
Over time, wax and debris may accumulate along edges and around badges. Clean these areas using a cotton swab lightly soaked in 70% isopropyl alcohol (IPA). Wipe away from the edges — not toward them — to safely remove buildup.

Drying
Dry the film using a soft, absorbent microfiber cloth, just as you would the rest of your vehicle. To maintain the film’s topcoat and enhance durability, applying a ceramic coating is recommended. For optimal results, reapply a protective sealant every 6 months.

Things to Avoid
Avoid using solvent-based cleaners, harsh insect removers, degreasers, or abrasive materials. Machine polishing can be done if necessary, but only at low speed and with minimal pressure. Always test on a small, inconspicuous area before full application.
