How Do I Wash My Car With PPF?
Use the Right Products
To avoid damaging the paint protection film, we recommend using a pH-neutral car wash soap. Harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners can degrade the PPF. A high-quality microfiber wash mitt will also help prevent scratches and swirl marks.
Wash in a Shaded Area
Direct sunlight can cause water spots and soap residue to dry quickly, potentially damaging the PPF. We suggest washing your car in a shaded area or during cooler parts of the day. This practice ensures that the soap and water can be rinsed off thoroughly without drying too quickly.
Rinse Thoroughly
Proper rinsing is essential to remove all soap residues that could harm the PPF. We recommend using a hose with a gentle spray or a pressure washer set to a low setting. Make sure to rinse from the top down, allowing the water to flow over the entire surface, and removing all soap and dirt particles.
Dry With Care
After rinsing, drying your car properly is crucial to avoid water spots and streaks. Use a clean, soft microfiber towel to gently pat the surface dry. We advise against rubbing or dragging the towel across the paint protection film, as this can cause scratches or swirl marks.
Maintaining your car's paint protection film requires careful washing techniques to ensure its longevity and effectiveness. By using the right products, washing in the shade, rinsing thoroughly, and drying with care, you can keep your PPF in excellent condition.
