What Is Paint Protection Film?

We offer a comprehensive 10-year warranty on all our Paint Protection Film installations by our certified team of installers at Podium. Our warranty covers any yellowing, crackling, or lifting of the film, and we guarantee to replace any section of the film that fails to meet these standards during the warranty period (from the date of purchase). However, it is important to note that accidental damage, collisions, intentional misuse, regular wear and tear, and damage caused by using cleaners or products not recommended for PPF are not covered by the warranty. Our clients also receive thorough after-care advice and documentation to ensure their car looks great for many years. For more information on warranty exclusions, full terms and conditions, and after-care advice, please feel free to contact a member of our Podium team.

Once our expert installers have applied our state-of-the-art podium to your car, keeping it looking as good as new is a breeze. We provide detailed aftercare instructions to ensure your peace of mind. Here are some key points to keep in mind:• To allow the film to cure properly, avoid washing your car for the first seven days after installation. During this time, moisture is still evaporating between the film and paint, and using shampoo can affect the adhesive qualities around the edges of each panel.• After the film has cured, you can wash your car normally using a PH neutral shampoo and high-quality car care products like Gtechnic or Swissvax. If you're using a pressure washer, keep the spray lance at least three feet away from the surface of the film, particularly around the edges, as the pressure may lift the film.• While our podium adds protection to your car, the top layer is similar in makeup to your car's lacquer and can be marked by bug splatters or bird droppings. If you come across any of these, remove them as soon as possible to avoid lasting damage.• You can continue to use polish or wax on your car with podium-covered panels. However, it's important to select the right products. Avoid polishes that are resin, solvent-based, or abrasive as they can leave a haze or damage the self-healing abilities of the film. Instead, we recommend using a good quality natural wax like Carnauba. If you're unsure, our team can recommend specific products.• Any surface scratches or swirl marks in the film will heal over time. However, if you want to speed up the process, pour warm (but not boiling) water over the affected area. This will help the uppermost layer of the film to return to its original state.
