HOW TO WASH YOUR CAR AFTER A COATING
CLEAR BRA CARE (PPF)
During its curing period leave it in the sun as much as possible. Moisture is normal, do not push
or touch at any bubbles. Shrinking/Pullback/Lifting during the curing phase is normal, plan to
come back for a check-up and final touch up in 1-2 weeks.
Don’t wax or buff
Keep at least 3 feet away with a pressure washer and use a wide fan tip, never aim directly at
seams or edges. Improper wash technique and brushed washes will damage the self-healing top coat.
TINT CARE
Do not roll down the windows for 48 hours. The auto roll down upon opening the door is fine. During its curing period leave it in the sun as much as possible. Moisture is normal, do not push or touch any bubbles. Tint is on the inside of the glass, do not use harsh chemicals or abrasives to clean. Any alcohol
based glass cleaner is fine.
WRAP CARE
During its curing period leave it in the sun as much as possible. Do not push on or touch any bubbles. Shrinking/Pullback/Lifting during curing is normal, plan to come back for a check-up and final touch up in 1-2 weeks.
Don’t wax or buff
Keep at least 3 feet away with a pressure washer and use a wide fan tip, never aim directly at
seams or edges. Wraps should be ceramic coated for longevity and ease of cleaning.
CLEARPLEX
During its curing period leave it in the sun as much as possible. Do not push or touch any bubbles. Make sure to use the sealant solution quarterly. This will keep your film slick and prevent film damage from the use of windshield wipers.
