preservation
Proper upkeep of Paint Protection Film is crucial for maximising its lifespan and effectiveness. To ensure the film remains in excellent condition, it is advisable to wash it regularly using a mild, pH-balanced soap. This helps eliminate dirt and contaminants without harming the film itself. It is important to steer clear of harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaning tools, as these can compromise the clarity and durability of the film. For optimal results, utilize a soft microfiber cloth or sponge during the washing process.
Furthermore, applying a gentle wax or sealant specifically formulated for PPF can enhance its shine and provide an additional layer of protection. In cases where minor scratches or imperfections occur, many PPFs embrace self-healing properties that activate when you apply heat from sunlight or a heat gun.
