Cleaning: Wait 3 days before cleaning your car gently by hand. Wait at least 2 weeks before using a commercial car wash. The high pressure water used can cause the clear bra to peel around the edges until fully cured.

Curing: All urethane films, will take at least 4 weeks to fully cure out depending on seasonal temperatures. Warmer weather will speed up this process. During the curing process, you might see small water bubbles, haze or condensation under the film or in a small area that has not settled out with the adhesive cur- ing process. The urethane film cures through a breathing process, the same process as your natural paint surfaces do. The water bubble, haze or condensation will evaporate through the film and cure out over the weeks to come, along with the adhesive bonding process. It can take up to 4 months for all the moisture to evaporate out from under the film.

Cleaning/Protective Products: Do not use any kind of petroleum-based products on the film. No Simple Green, 409 bug and tar removers, or any Degreasers. No products that contain ABRASIVES, or DYES which will cause the film to become dull. We Recommend using 3M Performance Wax. By nature, all paint protection film is porous, this why it’s so important to keep the film sealed with 3M Performance Wax. Dirt, dust, and other air born impurities left on unsealed film will eventually cause the film to become dull. 3M Performance Wax fills in pours of the film and seals it from contaminants. Use 3M Performance Wax at least every 3-6 months, depending on the film. It’s recommended that 3M Performance Wax be applied after every car wash. 3M Performance Wax will not harm the vehicle’s paint. Use ONLY soap and water to clean the film, and then protect it with 3M Performance Wax.

Hard Water Deposits: ALL Clear Paint Protection film is very susceptible to water spotting. Hard water deposits which are baked on by the sun cannot be removed and are not covered under any warranty.
