Can I Install A Vinyl Stripe On Top Of PS Paint Protection Film And Will I Be Able To Remove The Stripe Without Damaging The Clear Protection?

Yes, you can install a vinyl on top of the film. We recommend waiting 48 hours after installation before doing so. You may also remove the stripe without damaging the film, if removed properly.

Can I Apply A Ceramic Coating On Top Of The Film And How Does It Affect The Self-Healing Feature Of PS?

Yes, Coatings can be applied to the films. Adding a coating does not stop the film from self-healing. Coatings can add a protective layer over the film, which depending on the coating can provide different properties (Please contact your installer or coating company for more information). That additional coating layer, depending on the coating applied, may or may not self-heal. Once the coating wears down and deteriorates, the self-healing qualities of PS PRO SERIES will still remain.

Can PS Paint Protection Film Be Installed On A Brand New Vehicle?

Yes. Factory paint is fully cured before the car ever leaves the assembly line.

How Do I Wash The Film, Can I Use A Quick Detailer Or Detail Spray?

You may use any standard car wash soap, rinse free car wash, or detail spray to clean the film, provided that the product does not contain more than 5% naphtha or kerosene.

Can I Use A Pressure Washer, And How Soon After Install?

Yes, pressure washers can be used on PS paint protection films, provided the film has completely dried after installation (typically 48 hours) and provided the high-pressure water is not pointed directly at the edges of the film.

Will Removing The Film Harm The Vehicles Paint, Once Removed?

It is highly unlikely for paint protection film to harm OEM paint. Paint systems used on modern assembly lines today produce a minimum bond strength of 16 MPa and maximum of 25 MPa between the panel and the paint depending on color, iridescence and the system used. Our film’s bond to the painted surface at normal state (immediately following installation) is .0753 MPa. Even after years of heat and sun, the bond between the film and the paint increases to only 0.17 MPa. What that means is in the absolute worst case scenario, the bond of factory paint to the panel is over 94 times stronger than the bond of our film to the paint. In the best case, the paint is 332 times stronger.

Can PS Be Installed On My Airplane Or Aircraft?

PS Paint protection film can be applied on any smooth painted surface. However, given the tight tolerances on weight, balance and other factors on some aircraft, it is highly recommended to consult with the manufacturer of the airplane for strict guidance.
