PAINT PROTECTION FILM FAQ

  • + Are there any special aftercare instructions for PPF?

    It is common for bubbles to appear or edges to lift in the first 1-2 weeks after application. This is why we ask all of our customers to come in for a PPF check-up 2 weeks after pick-up. This way we can keep everything looking perfect. If you do find any edges lifting or if bubbles appear, please refrain from touching these areas.

  • + How soon after installation can I wash my car?

    Please wait a minimum of 48 hours to wash your car after installation.

  • + How often should I wash my PPF?

    We recommend wiping down or washing your vehicle every 1-2 weeks. Avoid using a pressure sprayer around the edges of the film. This can encourage the film to lift or become damaged. Hand washing is preferred. Be sure to remove insect, sap, and other stains as soon as possible.

  • + My PPF is damaged! What should I do?

    Light scratches will heal on their own in about 20-30 minutes at room temperature. If the damage is more severe, give us a call or bring the car in to see what we can do. Every situation is different.

  • + Can I use waxes or sealants on my PPF?

    Absolutely! We recommend silica sealants, especially if you have ceramic coating in addition to your PPF. An application of a silica sealant once every 3-4 months is best practice.
 

CERAMIC COATING FAQ

  • + Are there any special aftercare instructions for ceramic coatings?

    It is important to avoid water exposure for 24 hours. If the vehicle does get wet, gently wipe off the water. Avoid all chemicals for 7 days, this includes car washes/soaps.

  • + How often should I wash my vehicle that has ceramic coating?

    In a perfect world, a weekly hand wash would be best. However, a hand wash every other week will be enough. Make sure to use pH balanced soap for best results. Be cautious with pressure sprayers. If you must use a pressure sprayer, we recommend using it only for applying a layer of foam to the vehicle and for rinsing the vehicle off. Towel drying is necessary to avoid water spotting. We do not recommend automatic or touchless car washes.

  • + Can I wax my vehicle that has ceramic coating?

    It is not recommended. If you would like, you can use sealants. Stay away from products that contain carnauba wax.

  • + What if my vehicle has both paint protection film and ceramic coating?

    In this case, follow the aftercare instructions for ceramic coatings.
