Installation

Tools Needed:

Squeegee
Two one-quart spray bottles
Isopropyl Alcohol (70% Rubbing Alcohol from any drugstore)
Baby shampoo
Soft lint-free cloth

Application Instructions:

Avery Dennison Paint Protection Film (PPF) is intended for use on any fully cured OEM paint surface. Professional application using the wet method is suggested. Application of the PPF on a repainted surface should only be installed if the surface has been prepared and painted by a professional according to OEM recommendations, and a complete cure and bond of the paint has occurred.

Read instructions before application.

Cleaning Solution: In spray bottle combine 3 parts water to 2 parts alcohol (60/40).
Prepare surface with alcohol/water solution and wipe with a clean, soft cloth.

Soap (Slip) Solution: In spray bottle use 3 drops of Baby Shampoo to one quart of water. NOTE: Proper mix will sheet off the vehicle surface but not form soap bubbles.
Install at temperatures between 65°F and 90°F. Do not apply in direct sunlight or windy conditions. Clean hands and keep fingers wet during installation.

Verify size and placement of each part prior to removing liner.

Wet surface and fingers using Soap (Slip) Solution. Remove liner from first piece to be applied. Wet the adhesive side with Soap (Slip) Solution and position in place.
Apply additional Soap (Slip) Solution between surface and adhesive to allow piece to move easily. Lift the material from one side and spray - be careful not to stretch material.
Position film in place. Spray a small amount of alcohol/water solution in the center of the piece between the surface and the adhesive. Make a small vertical stroke with the squeegee down the center of the material. The part is now “tacked” to the surface and will not move freely.

Lift one end of the material back to the anchor and spray the adhesive side of the material with the alcohol/water solution and reposition the film.

Wet the top surface of the film, then using your squeegee make short overlapping strokes from the middle to the material edge (rewet the material surface as needed). Use firm pressure to avoid leaving water or air bubbles under the material.
Repeat steps 1 - 11 for all pieces to be applied.

If any area around the edges has “lift”, wrap a paper towel around your squeegee and go over the edges again. This will absorb the moisture around the edges that interferes with adhesion.

Maintenance and Removal:

For maximum performance of Avery Dennison PPF, it is recommended that frequent washings, and care consistent with the automobile manufacturers recommendations for the exterior surfaces of the vehicle be used. An application of a high quality automotive wax after installation and at recommended intervals will help retain the lustre and performance of the product.

Avery Dennison Paint Protection Film can be removed from any OEM paint surface by first softening the film and adhesive using a hair dryer or heat gun, and pulling the film off at approx. 90° angle. If any sections are known to have been repainted, extreme care should be taken on those sections during removal, assuring that complete warming of the the surface has been been fully achieved, and removal of film should be pulled off slowly, while continuously heating the film at the peel point during the removal.
