It’s best to wait three days after PPF installation before attempting any sort of washing. After that waiting period ends, hand washing is recommended—but it’s not the only option. If you choose to pressure wash, take care around any edges. Excessive pressure can lift the film. The high water pressure and harsh detergents of touchless car washes could cause issues, as well.

Film should be lifted at a 45-degree angle while pulling back towards yourself. This motion will cause the adhesive to release. Do not fold the film over on itself and tear, this can leave adhesive residue on the surface. A steamer is recommend to aid in softening the film and adhesive for removal in colder climates.
