Paint protection film (PPF) is a great investment, but if you’re new to it, you may have questions. Here’s what to expect after installation.
1. Wait Before Washing
Avoid washing your car for 5 to 7 days after installation. This gives the adhesive time to fully cure. Don’t use a pressure washer near the edges.
2. Minor Blemishes Are Normal
It’s common to see small bubbles or a slight haze during the first few days. These should disappear as the film sets.
3. Maintenance Tips
- Wash by hand using a soft cloth and pH-neutral soap.
- Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive sponges.
- Use a film-safe sealant every few months to maintain shine.
4. Longevity and Protection
With proper care, PPF can last 5–10 years, protecting against rock chips, scratches, and road debris.
