Answers to your SunTek® Paint Protection Film Questions

To help ensure maximum performance of SunTek PPF, periodic care and attention is recommended. Avoid the use of automatic car washers and power washes as they could cause film lifting¹. It is best practice to wait 3 days after installation of SunTek paint protection film before washing your car. Hand wash with soap, water and a soft cloth when needed.

Waxing is recommended to help maintain the appearance and surface protection. For gloss finishes, wax with a non-abrasive car wax once or twice a year. However, some waxes will add a level of gloss to matte paint protection film. There are car waxes on the market formulated specifically for matte finishes.

We recommend that only a professional SunTek dealer should remove SunTek paint protection film. But if it is necessary to remove the film yourself, we suggest following these guidelines:

• Film should be lifted at a 45-degree angle and pulled towards yourself, this will cause the adhesive to release 
• Do not fold the film over on itself and rip it off—this can leave adhesive behind 
• In cold weather environments, we recommend a steamer to aid in softening the film and adhesive for removal 

SunTek highly encourages you to see a SunTek dealer for PPF removal from original paint.
