A few simple habits keep your PPF clear and self-healing for years. Here's the right way to wash and care for it.

How to Properly Clean and Maintain PPF

PPF is durable, but proper care maximizes its clarity and self-healing performance.

Washing Do's and Don'ts

Use pH-neutral soap and a soft mitt. Avoid high-pressure washers closer than 6 inches and never use abrasive brushes.

Dealing with Contaminants

Remove bird droppings and bug splatter promptly. Apply a PPF-safe sealant every few months to maintain hydrophobicity.

Quick Maintenance Checklist

  • Hand wash with pH-neutral soap
  • Avoid wax on matte PPF
  • Use warm water to activate self-healing
  • Inspect edges after aggressive washes

Gentle, regular care keeps PPF performing and looking its best.
