Paint Protection Film AfterCare

Do's

  1. Wait Before Washing: Allow at least 72 hours after installation before washing your vehicle to ensure proper adhesion.
  2. Use a Soft Cloth: Clean the film with a soft microfiber cloth to avoid scratching.
  3. Wash Gently: Use a pH-neutral car shampoo and rinse thoroughly to remove dirt without damaging the film.
  4. Dry with Care: Use a microfiber towel to dry the film gently, avoiding any harsh rubbing.

Don’ts

  1. Don’t Use Abrasive Cleaners: Avoid harsh chemicals, solvents, or abrasive cleaners that can damage the film.
  2. Skip High-Pressure Washes: Avoid high-pressure washers that can lift the edges of the film.
  3. Don’t Wax Immediately: Wait at least 30 days before applying wax or sealant to allow the film to cure.
  4. Avoid Scrubbing: Don’t scrub hard, as this can scratch or damage the film.
  5. Don’t Ignore Temperature: Avoid exposing the film to extreme heat or cold for prolonged periods, as this can affect adhesion.

Window Tinting AfterCare

Do's

  1. Wait Before Rolling Down Windows: Allow at least 72 hours before rolling down the windows to ensure the tint adheres properly.
  2. Clean with a Soft Cloth: Use a microfiber towel for cleaning to avoid scratching the tint.
  3. Use Mild Cleaners: Opt for ammonia-free window cleaners.

Don’ts

  1. Don’t Use Abrasive Materials: Avoid paper towels, rough sponges, or any abrasive cleaners that could scratch the tint.
  2. Don’t Roll Down Windows: Avoid rolling down the tinted windows for the first few days after installation.
  3. Skip Harsh Chemicals: Don’t use cleaners containing ammonia or strong solvents, as they can damage the tint film.
  4. Don’t Clean the Edges: Avoid scrubbing the edges of the tint, as this can loosen it.
  5. Don’t Ignore Moisture: Be aware that moisture may be trapped under the tint initially; this is normal and should disappear over time.

Ceramic Coating Maintenance AfterCare

Do's

  1. Wash Regularly: Use a pH-neutral car shampoo to maintain the coating's integrity.
  2. Use the Two-Bucket Method: This helps prevent scratches by minimizing dirt transfer.
  3. Dry with Microfiber Towels: Use soft, clean microfiber towels to avoid marring the surface.
  4. Apply Maintenance Spray: Use a ceramic maintenance spray periodically to boost hydrophobic properties.
  5. Inspect Regularly: Check for any signs of damage or wear and address them promptly.

Don’ts

  1. Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Stay away from strong cleaners, waxes, or sealants that can degrade the coating.
  2. Don't Use Automatic Car Washes: Brush-based automatic washes can scratch the surface; opt for hand washing instead.
  3. Skip Waxing: Waxing over a ceramic coating can interfere with its properties and is generally unnecessary.
  4. Don't Neglect Maintenance: Regular maintenance is key; don’t let dirt or contaminants build up.
  5. Avoid Scrubbing: Don’t scrub too hard; gentle washing is sufficient to clean the surface.
