Care & Maintenance

You may see a few water bubbles under the film. This is normal and will go away once the film has cured (up to 45 days).

Dust and use SpeedFilm Polish on the film regularly to prevent dirt build up around the edges and to maintain its glossy finish.

Use a liquid-based car wash soap, extra-soft wash-mit, and water to wash your SpeedFilm Paint Protection Film. Owners of cars with Speedfilm should avoid brushless car washes due to the type of chemicals used in these machines which may cause the film to become cloudy.

When using a high-pressure water hose to wash, keep at least 36" away from your film's edges and surface.

Wipe down with a clean and dust-free chamois and apply SpeedFilm Polish and wipe dry with a micro-fiber drying towel. This is very important! SpeedFilm Polish will keep the film’s finish glossy and more resistant to stains and discoloring. Failure to properly maintain the film may void
your warranty.

Use a small toothpick or detailing cloth to softly remove any wax build-up around the edges. Bird droppings and bug splats should be removed as quickly as possible by flushing the area with luke-warm water. Some bugs may leave stains that normally bleach out in the sun after a few weeks. Westley's Bleche-Wite (white-wall tire cleaner) used in small amounts has had favorable results on stubborn stains.

What NOT to Do

• Do not use any abrasive scrubbers, sponges or paper towels.
• Do not use a powder-based detergent or degreaser to clean your film.
• Do not use any clay products to clean the surface of your film.
• Do not use any abrasive or hard-compound waxes and/or polishes.
• Do not rub excessively or use excessive force when cleaning or drying.
• Do not use a high-speed power buffer or polishing equipment.
• Do not use a high-pressure hose closer than 36" from the Paint Protection Film surface.
• Do not pick the Paint Protection Film's edges. Once the material is lifted it will not lay back down properly without damage.

Certain petroleum distillates that are present in some car polishes, waxes, or bug and tar cleaning agents cause urethane to discolor. The following products have been tested as safe for use on Speedfilm:

• Meguiars NXT Tech Wax 2.0 (paste)
• Turtle Wax Ice Liquid
• Zymol Field Glaze
• Zymol Creame Wax

Use SpeedFilm Polish after every wash to help keep your SpeedFilm glossy and new looking, easier to clean and stain resistant.
