Prevent Paint Discoloration<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>A faded and discolored car is the worst nightmare for any car lover. When your car&#8217;s exterior is not protected, it is highly prone to rain, the sun&#8217;s UV rays, moisture, and other factors that greatly dull your <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Automotive_paint\" target=\"_blank\">vehicle&#8217;s paint<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Keep_The_Resale_Price_Up\"><\/span>2. Keep The Resale Price Up<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The car&#8217;s external condition is the primary factor in deciding the resale value by the future potential buyer. When your vehicle is protected with PPF, its condition will be top-notch.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Acts_An_Invisible_Shield\"><\/span>3. Acts An Invisible Shield<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>If an experienced detailer installs the PPF, It is impossible to spot <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ultraguardindia.com\/\">PPF<\/a>. This invisible shield is highly self-healing in nature, and any minor scratch or swirl mark will get fixed with heat.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Gives_Up_to_10_Years_Of_Protection\"><\/span>4. Gives Up to <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">10 Years Of Protection<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ultraguardindia.com\/\">Paint protection films<\/a> are highly durable, shielding the car&#8217;s paintwork for 5 to 10 years. This protective film will make the car&#8217;s paint look new and flawless. Also, the original paintwork will not be affected.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Easily_Removable\"><\/span>5. Easily Removable<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>If the PPF gets scratched, you can easily replace the PPF of that damaged panel. It is less costly to replace the PPF than to get the panel repainted.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_To_Maintain_PPF_On_Car_%E2%80%93_6_Post_Installation_Tips\"><\/span>How To <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Maintain PPF On Car\u00a0<\/span>&#8211; 6 Post Installation Tips<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>To prolong the life of your PPF, it is very important to follow the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ultraguardindia.com\/\">PPF<\/a> maintenance<\/strong> tips. If you follow the tips mentioned below your car\u2019s paintwork and PPF will last longer.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Tip_1_Do_Not_Wash_Your_Car_For_A_Week_Post-Installation\"><\/span>Tip 1. Do Not Wash Your Car For A Week Post-Installation<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Newly installed PPF takes at least a week to cure and stick to the vehicle&#8217;s surface. If you disturb the curing process by washing, it will hamper the curing process.<\/p>\n<p>As an expert, we recommend avoiding driving for a week after the installation as it will attract dust and other damaging pollutants.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Tip_2_Avoid_Washing_Your_Car_In_Direct_Sunlight\"><\/span>Tip 2. Avoid Washing Your Car In Direct Sunlight<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>You surely don&#8217;t want your PPF look to be ruined. You may end up with water spots and streaks on your car if you wash your car in direct sunlight.<\/p>\n<p>Instead, you can wait for a cooler time of day, like early morning or late evening, when the sun is not so intense.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Tip_3_For_Cleaning_Use_The_Two-Bucket_Method\"><\/span>Tip 3. For Cleaning, Use The Two-Bucket Method<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The two-bucket car cleaning process has been quite popular among car enthusiasts for a long time. In this method, you need to get two buckets in which.<\/p>\n<p>One is filled with water and a mild cleaning solution, and the other with clean water. When you clean a panel, the wash mitt will catch dirt. Before using that mitt to wash the other panel, rinse the mitt thoroughly in clean water.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Tip_4_Dont_Wash_Your_Car_At_An_Automated_Car_Wash\"><\/span>Tip 4. Don&#8217;t Wash Your Car At An Automated Car Wash<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Once your car is PPF-protected, cleaning the car with your hand and avoiding automated car wash is advisable.<\/p>\n<p>The brush and chemicals used in an automatic car wash are too stiff on the PPF&#8217;ed surface and will cause swirl marks. This might also peel the PPF away from the edges.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Tip_5_Regularly_Inspect_The_Minor_Imperfections\"><\/span>Tip 5. Regularly Inspect The Minor Imperfections<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>It is best to periodically inspect for minor damage, imperfection, or PPF peeling at the edges. Regularly review the PPF for any signs of damage, lifting, or peeling at the edges.<\/p>\n<p>Any problems should be addressed immediately to prevent moisture or dirt from entering beneath the film. Regular maintenance is also essential to preserve the warranty provided by the installer on PPF.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Tip_6_No_Touching_The_Film_Post-Installation\"><\/span>Tip 6. No Touching The Film Post-Installation<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>We understand running a hand over a smooth PPF-protected car is tempting, but we advise you to control your emotions. When the PPF is not cured and settled, touching might damage the surface.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Final_Words\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Final <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Words<\/span><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>In conclusion, when you have spent your hard-earned money on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ultraguardindia.com\/\">paint protection films<\/a>, they deserve the best treatment and maintenance.
