3] Post this; the person involved in applying film; dips hand in a solution to prevent the powerful adhesives of the Paint Protection Film (PPF) from sticking to their finger.
4] The sheet is laid down; the liner is removed and solution is applied to the exposed adhesive. The same solution is applied on the surface of car where the film will go.
5] The sheet is carefully applied to the desired area using a sliding motion to prevent air from being trapped between the film and your car’s surface.
6] Using a squeegee, the film is flattened and the remaining air bubbles and solution are removed by overlapping strokes. The squeegee is run along the edges and corners for total adhesion.
Following the procedure; 48 hours are allotted to drying, post which, your car looks ravishing while being well protected!
