    Information 

    • The film must be applied without bubbles, and no water may remain between the paint surface and adhesive. 
  5. Press on the film with a plastic spatula from the inside to the outside to squeeze out water.
  6. The adhesive is activated by the pressure of the spatula. The contact pressure should be at least 2 kg.
  7. After affixing, pull off the thin protective film.
  8. Dry off the entire surface with a lint-free, moisture-absorbing, non-scratching cloth.
  9. Check the affixed film for bubbles and faults. The film must bond permanently to the vehicle. Check corners again for correct bonding (press on again if necessary).
