General Care and Information

General Window Film Care

• Avoid winding down car windows within the first 48 hours of installation.
• Allow a minimum of 7 days to pass after installation before you clean the surface to ensure complete binding of the films to window.
• The surface may be washed with common cleaning solutions.
• Do not paste stickers or other adhesive materials (including suction cups) within the first week of installation. You may put up car decals after this period.
• Do not peel at the edges of window films.
• Refrain from using abrasive type cleaning agents and bristle brushes that will scratch the film. Instead, it is recommended to use synthetic sponges, squeegees, or soft cloth with a cleaning solution.

Solar Film Information “Halo-effect”

• Due to the nature of light, when it passes through the glass especially at the demister area, it will refract and hence causes the “halo-effect” - pronounced bright stripes that are observed at night when another car's headlights shine from behind.
• The intensity varies from car to car and performance of the film is not affected.

Water Bubbles

• Water bubbles are inevitable in every solar film application and are temporary.
• Allow up to 2 weeks, during which the car is exposed to the sun for at least 1 week, for the bubbles to evaporate.
• If the bubbles are still visible after 3 weeks, you may approach 3M or your installer for assistance.

Note: For the first week after film installation, the windows might appear hazy. This effect will disappear after the water vapour has evaporated.
