Product Care Overview

 While we think you’ll find your SkipChips paint protection film installation to be extremely low maintenance, there are some things to be aware of:

Please allow 7 – 10 days for the adhesive and installation solutions to fully cure. During this time, please:

  • Do not wash your vehicle, if you must, please do so by hand and take exceptional care around the edges of the film.

  • Do not apply pressure to the film, this includes pushing on or touching any moisture pockets or slight distortions that may be visible as the film cures.

  • Allow for the adhesive and topcoat to fully cure before addressing any areas of concern. If they are visible after a proper cure time (seasonally dependent) please contact us as a repair or replacement may be necessary.

After the film has cured, please follow these care instructions:

  • Stubborn stains can be removed with isopropyl alcohol and a clean microfiber cloth. This can also be used to remove waxy/dusty/dirty build up at the edge of the film.

  • Light scratches in the film will self-heal as the material is exposed to temperatures over 70 degrees. Warm water / hair dryers or other mild sources of heat can be used to accelerate this process, though this isn’t necessary as natural sunlight most often does the trick !

  • Remove caustic elements (bugs, tar, tree sap, ETC) in a timely manner, as you would with any painted surface.

  • DO NOT pressure wash your car, especially near the edges of the film.
