So, you’ve protected your vehicle with premium Paint Protection Film (PPF)—great choice! At PPF Studio Dublin, we make sure your installation is flawless, but maintaining that finish is just as important. Luckily, caring for your PPF-covered car is simple and stress-free.

Whether you drive daily through Dublin’s busy streets or take longer drives across Ireland, these tips will help you keep your car looking pristine for years to come.

Top Tips to Maintain Your PPF in Dublin and Ireland:

1. Wait Before Washing
After installation, wait 7 days before washing your car. This allows the adhesive to fully cure, especially with Ireland’s damp weather conditions.

2. Hand Wash Only
Use a gentle hand wash method with a soft mitt and pH-neutral car shampoo. Avoid harsh chemicals, automatic car washes, or pressure washers directly on the edges of the film.

3. Dry with Microfiber Towels
Use clean microfiber towels to gently dry the surface without scratching or lifting the film.

4. Avoid Harsh Chemicals
Don’t use abrasive polishes or degreasers. Stick to PPF-safe products, especially when driving through coastal or rural areas where road salt or mud can accumulate.

5. Use a Ceramic Coating on Top (Optional)
For easier maintenance, we can apply a ceramic coating over the PPF, adding a hydrophobic layer that repels dirt and water—ideal for Ireland’s rainy days.

6. Regular Inspections
Every few months, check for any lifted edges or small damages. At PPF Studio, we offer follow-up support and touch-ups when needed.

Bonus Tip for Irish Weather:
During winter months, rinse your car more frequently to remove salt and grime, especially around the wheel arches and bumpers.

At PPF Studio, we don’t just install PPF—we help you protect and maintain it long-term. Explore our full care guide and book your check-up at www.ppfstudio.ie
