Photos We Need
Park in a bright area, preferably in open shade. Hold your phone sideways and stand far enough back to show the whole requested area. Make sure each photo is clear and in focus.
Step 2: Decide If DIY Is Right for You
PPF is normally installed by trained professionals. A precut kit reduces trimming, but correct cleaning, alignment, stretching, squeegeeing, edge work, and heat are still required.
- Read the instructions for your exact film.
- Watch complete panel installations, not only short clips.
- Practice on a small, simple piece first.
- Use a helper for a hood, bumper, or other large panel.
- If unsure, stop and email us before damaging the film.
Step 3: Gather Your Tools
The customer or installer must provide all tools and supplies.
- Clean spray bottles
- Filtered or distilled water
- Slip-solution ingredients
- Tack-solution ingredients
- Clean microfiber towels
- PPF squeegee
- Clay bar or clay media
- Paint-safe cleaner
- Nitrile gloves
- Adjustable heat gun
- Infrared thermometer
- Bright inspection light
- Safe step stool if needed
- Clean indoor work area
Step 4: Install the Kit
Inspect every piece
Match each piece to the approved coverage list before removing any liner.
Prepare the workspace
Work indoors, away from sun, wind, dust, and insects. Do not install when the vehicle or room is very hot or cold.
Clean the vehicle completely
Remove bugs, tar, wax, grease, and stuck-on dirt. Clean all panel gaps and edges. Ceramic coating may prevent the film from sticking.
Mix fresh solutions
Use separate bottles labeled SLIP and TACK. Follow the directions for your exact film.
Position the film
Check its direction before removing the liner. Wet the panel and adhesive as directed, then line up corners, openings, cameras, badges, and body lines.
Anchor and squeegee
Set the main anchor points. Use overlapping strokes to push solution toward an open edge. Keep the surface wet and do not over-stretch.
Finish the edges
Remove slip solution and dry each edge before pressing it down or wrapping it. Never trap dirt or moisture under an edge.
Post-heat and inspect
Post-heat stretched areas, corners, and edges at the required temperature. Use an infrared thermometer. Check for lifting, fingers, dirt, or trapped moisture.
Step 5: Let the Film Dry
- Wait 48-72 hours before washing.
- Do not use an automatic car wash during the initial cure.
- Never aim a pressure washer at film edges.
- Do not puncture bubbles with a needle or blade.
- Do not peel back a dirty or lifting edge.
- Inspect all edges in good light after 24-48 hours.
Common Questions
I cannot find my invoice. What should I do?
Check Promotions, junk, and spam for [email protected]. If it is missing, email us from the address used at checkout. Include your name and order number.
Why do you need photos?
The same model can have different bumpers, sensors, cameras, trim, and options. We need to verify your actual vehicle before cutting.
Why has my kit not been cut?
Production stays on hold until we receive your photos, verify the pattern, and receive your written approval.
What if I damage one piece?
Email [email protected] with your order number, the exact piece needed, and a photo. We will provide replacement pricing and availability. Production and shipping charges apply.
Should I pop a water bubble?
No. Do not puncture the film. Send us clear photos before trying to repair it.
When can I wash the vehicle?
Wait 48-72 hours, then wash gently by hand. Keep high-pressure water away from all film edges.
