PPF install times will vary largely on the amount of the car looking to be covered. Starting from 2 hours for the average hood and fender coverage, to a few days for a full vehicle wrap. Most notably, we like to keep any complex items, like bumpers, overnight to aid initial curing.

Curing time can be up to 30 days and is largely dependent on the weather. If it's hot and sunny, we recommend at least 2 weeks before a garden hose hand wash, and 30 days before any use of a pressure washer.

These times are extended in the winter months, as the cold slows down curing time quite a bit.

PPF is self healing and very resilient, but it is also a porous material. Regular washing is a must to maintain the clarity and longevity and it should be treated like paint: any car soap will do, avoid harsh chemicals, it can be ceramic coated etc.

It is recommended to hand wash, and not use a pressure washer directly pointing at any of the edges of the film. Also, agitating the edges of the film with a wash mitt or detailing brush will help keep them clean and looking sharp.

Llumar offers a few different films and so their warranty length can vary from 5 years to 12. The largest quantity of our installs are using Llumar's Platinum Gloss film which carries a 10 year warranty from: peeling, yellowing, or adhesive failure.
