Frequently asked questions.

PPF FAQ

  • PPF will keep it protected from general stone chips and everyday wear and tear. Not only is this good news for aesthetic reasons, but it also helps maintain the value of your vehicle by keeping it looking newer than it otherwise would. If the PPF is cared for and remains undamaged, the paint beneath will still look as good as new if you ever get tired of the look and decide to remove the film yourself.

  • You can use any standard off the shelf wash soap made specifically for vehicles or rinse-free car wash. Make sure to avoid products that contain naphtha or kerosene.

  • Yes, you can use a pressure washer with most paint protection films. However, you must wait until the film has completely dried after installation which varies depending on the film manufacturer, but usually a few days to a couple of weeks. When ready you should be careful not to point the high-pressure water jet directly at the edges of the film otherwise it may cause it lift, be sure to maintain 3 feet distance when using a power washer.
