Here’s a quick guide on how to install Paint Protection Film (PPF) for your car:

Materials Needed:

  • Paint Protection Film (PPF) kit
  • Microfiber towels
  • Squeegee
  • Spray bottle with a mix of water and a few drops of baby shampoo (for slip solution)
  • Razor blade or utility knife
  • Heat gun (optional)

Steps:

  1. Prepare the Car: Wash and dry the car thoroughly to remove any dirt, dust, or debris. You can also use a clay bar for extra smoothness.

  2. Cut the Film: If your PPF isn’t pre-cut, measure and cut it to fit the sections of the car you want to cover.

  3. Apply Slip Solution: Spray the surface of the car and the adhesive side of the PPF with the slip solution to help you position the film.

  4. Position the Film: Carefully place the PPF on the desired area, starting from one corner and working your way across.

  5. Squeegee the Film: Use the squeegee to remove air bubbles and excess solution by pressing from the center outward.

  6. Trim the Edges: Once the film is positioned, use a razor blade to trim any excess material along the edges for a clean finish.

  7. Heat the Edges: Gently heat the edges of the film with a heat gun to make it adhere better and avoid lifting over time.

  8. Final Touch: After applying, let the film set for a few hours to ensure it's securely adhered.

Done! Enjoy your car’s newly protected paint.
