3. Understanding PPF and Its Benefits? • In simple words, Paint Protection Film, or PPF, is a thermoplastic urethane film that protects your car from hazards, including scratches, heat rays, and other environmental damage. Your vehicle’s body is just as sensitive as yours; therefore, applying a protection cover is the ultimate key. It not only protects the vehicle from the above-mentioned risks but also maintains its original paint, finish, and gloss. • Furthermore, the PPF wrap has a self-healing property, which makes it durable, flexible, and efficient in terms of appearance and quality. Moreover, InstaTints uses premium PPF products with a 10-year warranty against yellowing, cracking, delamination, and peeling. Therefore, applying PPF on your car will not only help you maintain it, but also, due to its impressive appearance, benefit you in the long run for its resale value.

4. What Are the Ways to Care for Your Car Paint Protection? • All said and done, negligence can cause issues in a ppf-installed car if the care is inappropriate and unfitting. But worry not. There are a few after-care steps that will help you maintain your car and its PPF. There are three major things you must know about the PPF car. • Immediate Care After PPF Installation • Following proper aftercare involves crucial steps. As soon as the film is applied to your vehicle, it goes through approximately two weeks of curing, depending on the weather conditions. In simple words, the first step is all about caring for your vehicle after PPF installation. Shortly after the installation, you must avoid washing the car for at least 48–72 hours, i.e., 2–3 days. It is because the adhesive that bonds the PPF wrap onto the surface of your car needs a stipulated time to stick well. • Even after the lapse of days, you have to avoid pressure washing. Even high-speed driving is not permitted during the period. Try to keep your vehicle away from direct sunlight and rain, if applicable. You need to also avoid waxing or polishing your car during this time. If you see bubbles or moisture, do not panic and do not touch them; they are normal and will disappear eventually.

5. Washing Techniques of the PPF Car • After the curing period (48–72 hours) is over, the only method viable and recommended is hand-washing. Use a pH-neutral car shampoo, a soft microfiber towel, and the two-bucket method, which uses one bucket of soapy water (for the wash) and one bucket with plain water (for cleaning). Do not implement automatic car wash methods or any kind of harsh chemicals. Rest for the time being, you can wash your car once every two to three weeks. • After Washing the Car • After washing your car, immediately dry the surface with a soft microfiber cloth. It helps the film to remain intact as new. Look out for the edges to see if the PPF wrap hasn’t been lifted or scratched. Once done, apply Sealant. This step is optional, but protects your car even more. If you are using one, necessarily and strictly go for a PPF-safe Sealant. You can use these products once every few months.

6. Final Thoughts: Protect Your Investment in the Best Way • By now, you might have understood about car paint protection and why the aftercare is necessary. PPF Wrap is a long-term solution in both technical and monetary ways to protect the car from the merest of hazards. • InstaTints offers a wide range of solutions, from consultation about your car. Everything depends on understanding the nature and the weight of the product. Surface preparation comes as the next step, followed by customizable cutting of the film, as per your needs. Lastly, after careful installation of the film, we also inspect the process till the end, till handing you the vehicle. • With caution and pertinent care, you can sign up for the process and flex your vehicle like it is brand new every day.
