    Common Issues & Solutions

    Tips and Tricks for PPF Installation

    Common issues and their solutions for DIY Paint Protection Film installation

    ⚠️

    How to Remove Fingers (Wrinkles) in PPF

    Fix wrinkles and stretch marks in your film

    What are PPF Fingers? Wrinkles or bubbles that appear during installation when there's either too much or too little stretch in a particular area of the film. This is common with DIY cut-to-panel PPF kits.

    1

    Identify the Fingers

    Look for areas where the film is not laying flat against the surface. These can appear as raised lines or bubbles.

    2

    Stretching Technique

    If the fingers are due to insufficient stretch:

    Stretch the Film: Carefully lift the PPF around the wrinkled area and stretch it more to fit the panel properly
    Use Tack Solution: Spray tack solution under the fingers
    Squeegee Method: Use a squeegee along with a microfiber cloth to press down the fingers. Apply firm pressure and work out the wrinkles from the center outward, holding the squeegee in place for a moment to secure the film
    3

    Wrapping Around Edges

    For fingers that appear when wrapping around edges:

    Apply Heat: Use a hair dryer or heat gun to gently heat the wrinkled area. Be cautious not to overheat, as this can damage the film
    Press Down: Once heated, carefully press the wrinkle down with your fingers or a squeegee to smooth it out

    How to Remove Bubbles in PPF

    Eliminate air bubbles during and after installation

    During Installation

    Overlap Squeegee Strokes: When squeegeeing, use overlapping strokes to ensure no bubbles are left behind
    Spray Slip Solution: If you find a bubble, spray slip solution and gently lift the PPF to release the trapped air. Squeegee the film back down, working from the center of the bubble outward

    After Installation

    Wait and See: Some bubbles may dissipate on their own within 10-14 days
    Needle Technique: If bubbles don't disappear, use a diabetic needle to carefully poke the bubble at an angle (avoid pointing directly at the paint). Gently press down on the bubble until it disappears

    How to Deal with Contamination Under PPF

    Handle dirt, dust, and debris trapped under the film

    Contamination under PPF, such as dirt, dust, or hair, can be problematic if not addressed early.

    1

    Ensure Proper Lighting

    Good lighting is crucial. Set up multiple lamps in your workspace to catch any contaminants early in the installation process.

    2

    Clean the Panel

    Before reapplying the film, spray the panel with slip solution and squeegee it clean to remove any remaining dirt or dust.

    3

    Lift and Clean Process

    If you spot contamination:

    Lift the PPF: Carefully lift the film from the panel
    Spray Slip Solution: Generously spray slip solution under the lifted PPF to wash away contaminants
    Reapply: Once clean, carefully reposition and squeegee the film back into place
