PPF - Aftercare Tips

After bidding goodbye to your car detailer, you and your PPF are on your own… 

Nah, course you are not! The P10X team is always contactable! 

Joke aside, it is important to know what you CAN or CANNOT do right after applying PPF. 

PPF Application: Day 0 - 14 👶🏻

This is the MOST delicate stage of PPF, where the film is still curing. So treat it like a newborn ◡̈

✗ DO NOT Poke or try chasing out any air bubbles below the film

✗ DO NOT Wash/Wax your car 

✗ TRY NOT TO Expose your car to water unnecessarily

✗ TRY NOT TO Drive your car for the first week, if possible

The setting solution used during PPF installation may cause bubbles to form under the film. It will take a few days for the bubbles to evaporate via the film’s pores.

PPF Application: Day 14 Onwards

✓ Biweekly washing is advised, if you drive daily 

✓ Hydrate the PPF surface before wiping any dust off

    This reduces friction which can cause damage to the film

✓ Remove bird droppings/ bug splatter ASAP

    This prevents your PPF from absorbing the contaminants and became dull.

✗ DO NOT use pressure water on PPF

✗ DO NOT use powdered detergent on PPF

✗ Do not use aggressive chemical on PPF

    e.g. tar remover, clay cleansers, degreasers 

Compared to a car without PPF, I would say taking care of a car with PPF is less strenuous and time consuming.

Dust and dirt can be easily cleaned, where you don’t have to worry about hurting the car paint.

Nevertheless, as PPF is an expensive investment, I would recommend proper care to extend PPF’s life.
