>>Paint 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

  1. Thoroughly clean application surface and surrounding areas with Slip solution and a lint free cloth. Be sure to remove any bugs, tar, and contaminates.
  2. Spray the application surface with Slip Solution.
  3. Peel the film from the liner and spray adhesive thoroughly with Slip Solution. (Do not be afraid to use a lot of solution.)
  4. Position film on the application surface making sure it will cover the necessary area.
  5. Spray the Tack solution under and on top of center area and squeegee down the center of the piece.
  6. 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.
  7. During installation, the film can be lifted back up, re-wet and re-applied to achieve desired location and appearance.
  8. Lightly score film with Olfa knife or razor blade to trim off any excess film.
  9. Approximate curing time is 24 hours. The film can be washed and waxed to maintain original shine.
  10. Do not use harsh degreasers on film without testing a small area first. Do not use any waxes with harsh abrasives or colored dyes.
  11. 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.
