After PPF installation: small details worth your attention

Keep your hand-over instructions

Ask the center for the care instructions for the installed film and the date of the first wash. This varies by product, so don't apply a timeframe you heard for another film. Keep your installation and warranty details for any future check.

Start with gentle cleaning

After the period set by the installer, choose a gentle hand wash with soft, clean tools suitable for the surface. Check that cleaning products are compatible with the product instructions before using them.

Mind the edges when washing

Avoid aiming a high-pressure jet directly at the film edges. If you notice a lifted edge or an unusual mark, contact the installer for an inspection rather than trying to re-apply it yourself — you can book a maintenance visit directly on the website.

Follow-up is part of care

Ask about the recommended inspection schedule and warranty terms. A clear photo of the area and your service details help the team understand the issue and decide the right next step; your product's own instructions remain the main reference.
