PRIMETM Automotive Window Film Care

PRIMETM Automotive Window Films were designed to keep their flawless appearance and clarity for many years. Follow these tips to properly care for your windows and keep them looking their best:

Keep in mind that your window tint may have a hazy appearance or moisture bubbles for up to ten days after installation. These conditions will disappear once the moisture used to apply your tint dries up completely.

Wait approximately 1-5 days after installation before rolling down or cleaning your windows based on the climate in which it was installed.

Use a microfiber towel slightly dampened with water to clean your windows. If necessary, mild, non-ammonia glass cleaners may also be used.

Avoid the use of abrasive materials such as scouring pads, to clean your tinted windows.

Removing Paint Protection Film

Professional removal of the film is recommended. However, when professional removal is not possible, the film may be removed as follows:

Removal of paint protection film should be done with a steamer. It will keep the film pliable and wet so that it can be “stretched” off the vehicle.

Peel one corner of the film up with your fingernail.

Pull the film towards you at a shallow angle less than 45 degrees (see figure 8a). This angle is important to ensure sure that the adhesive comes off with the film rather than staying on the paint. The film should “stretch” off the car.

If any adhesive is left on the car, use a general adhesive remover to help loosen it.

FUSION PLUSTM

Aftercare

Using XPEL aftercare products when washing your vehicle will significantly extend the life of FUSION PLUSTM. Our products have been designed to complement our coatings and will help keep your car looking newer for longer.

Washing

For best results, wash with XPEL Rinse Free Car Wash on a weekly basis to avoid excessive contamination buildup. Avoid washing in direct sunlight to minimize streaking and water spotting. Wash from the roof downwards, leaving the dirtiest sections last avoiding possible cross contamination.

For best results the car should be washed on a bi-weekly basis to avoid excessive contamination build-up. Use only recommended mild soaps. Avoid high volume brush style car washes, and high PH detergent style cleaners.

Drying

Always dry the vehicle completely using a clean, soft, lint free microfiber towel or air blower. Never allow water to evaporate on its own. Tap water can contain minerals which leave deposits on your coating, creating unwanted water spots. For best results use XPEL Microfiber Towels which have been designed to absorb water. Always avoid aggressive wiping.

Detailing

For best results, follow washing and drying steps above. Follow up with XPEL Detail Spray for any leftover fingerprints or smudges on your paint protection film or paint. You can apply the XPEL Ceramic Boost for added shine and slickness (as needed). Avoid applying XPEL Detail Spray or XPEL Ceramic Boost in direct sunlight to minimize streaking and water spotting

Spot Removal Of Surface Contamination

Never use aggressive products to polish the coating or to removing surface contamination.

Vehicle Inspection Schedule

To uphold the FUSION PLUSTM warranty, you must visit the FUSION PLUSTM certified installer who applied your original coating every 12 months during the duration of warranty – unless you have had a change of address, if this is the case please email contact us.
