Protection Film Installation Instructions
Installation
Tools and Supplies Needed:
- 5 ½”
Yellow Turbo Squeegee
- Olfa Knife
or Razor Blade (Use with extreme caution because you can score the paint.)
- Slip Solution
– One quart spray bottle filled with water and 4 to 8 drops of
Johnson's Baby Shampoo
or a comparable brand.
- Used
for positioning film.
- Tack Solution
– One quart spray bottle filled 75% water and 25% Isopropyl Alcohol
(70% volume).
- Used
when the film is ready to adhere.
- Used
for troublesome areas.
Installation Steps
Thoroughly
clean application surface and surrounding areas with Slip solution and
a lint free cloth. Be sure to remove any bugs, tar, and contaminates.
- Spray
the application surface with Slip Solution.
- Peel
the film from the liner and spray adhesive thoroughly with Slip Solution.
(Do not be afraid to use a lot of solution.)
- Position
film on the application surface making sure it will cover the necessary
area.
- Spray
the Tack solution under and on top of center area and squeegee down
the center of the piece.
- Work
from center out using Tack solution where needed to make the film adhere.
Stretch in areas necessary to allow the film to form to compound curves
and make sure to overlap your squeegee passes.
- During
installation, the film can be lifted back up, re-wet and re-applied
to achieve desired location and appearance.
- Lightly
score film with Olfa knife or razor blade to trim off any excess film.
- Approximate
curing time is 24 hours. The film can be washed and waxed to maintain
original shine.
- Do not
use harsh degreasers on film without testing a small area first. Do
not use any waxes with harsh abrasives or colored dyes.
- It is
best to wax the film every time the vehicle is washed - to prolong the
life of the film, and to keep its glossy appearance.

assistance, please call Pro-Tint, Inc. at 800-553-8673.
