Maximize the lifespan of your PPF

Proper maintenance is crucial to extending the lifespan of Paint Protection Film (PPF) and ensuring it continues to protect your vehicle's paintwork effectively. To get the most out of your investment, follow these maintenance and care tips:

1. Regular Cleaning: Wash the PPF-covered areas routinely with automotive-specific soap and water to prevent dirt accumulation. Avoid abrasive tools; use a soft, clean microfiber towel or sponge for best results.

2. Immediate Spot Cleaning: Quickly remove any bird droppings, tree sap, or tar spots. These contaminants can etch into the film over time. Use a gentle, PPF-safe cleaner and rinse thoroughly.

3. Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Steer clear of cleaning products containing kerosene, diesel, or acetone. These substances can damage the PPF's adhesive properties and cause lifting or bubbling.

4. Wax and Sealant Application: While not necessary, applying wax or a paint sealant can add an extra layer of protection to the PPF. Ensure any product used is safe for PPF and does not contain petroleum distillates or abrasive compounds.

5. Minimize Prolonged Sun Exposure: If possible, park the vehicle in the shade or a covered area to prevent prolonged exposure to UV rays, which can lead to PPF degradation over time.

6. Professional Annual Inspection: Schedule an inspection with us every year to check for signs of wear and tear, such as lifting edges or scratches that may compromise protection.

7. Correct Removal of Contaminants: Use isopropyl alcohol diluted with water for tough spots, and a heat gun may assist with softening stubborn contaminants. Do not scrape or pick at the film.

8. Automated Car Washes: While hand washing is recommended, if using an automatic car wash, choose a touch-free option. Avoid car washes with abrasive brushes, which can damage the PPF's surface.

Following these recommendations will help ensure the longevity of your PPF, maintaining its protective qualities and keeping your vehicle's paint looking pristine.
