How to care for your car after PPF installation
Washing a PPF-wrapped car, the first days, what to avoid and how to extend film life.
Updated: 2026-10-06
The first days
Don’t wash the car for a few days after installation — the film needs to fully bond. Ask the studio for the exact period. Moisture marks may gradually disappear. Do not puncture bubbles yourself; contact the studio if they persist or an edge lifts.
Washing
Use a gentle shampoo and microfibre. Keep pressure-washer jets away from film edges. Avoid abrasive compounds and hard brushes.
What to avoid
Don’t lift edges with a fingernail, don’t use harsh solvents, and avoid anything that breaks warranty terms.
Keep your warranty
Keep the warranty certificate and follow the studio’s care rules — it’s what helps if a problem appears.
