Product Description
These long-term, removable, cast films are designed for solid color vehicle detailing, decoration and full wraps without graphic protection. This film's pressure-activated adhesive allows it to slide and be repositioned until firm pressure is applied. The non-visible air release channels assure fast, easy and virtually bubble-free installations. These vinyl films (minimum 3.5 mil) are sold in 60 inch rolls, allowing almost any section of a vehicle to be wrapped without seams.

Caring for Matte, Textured or Other Unique Film Finishes
Special care must be taken to avoid abrading or scratching the film. Scratching and abrasion marks may be visible and you may not be able to work them out of the unique finish of the film. To help avoid such damage, avoid using harsh chemicals, brushes or hard scrubbing when cleaning your vehicle, and avoid parking near shrubs and trees or any other items that could scratch the film.
Rinse thoroughly after cleaning and dry with a clean, soft cloth or soft rubber squeegee to avoid water spots. Do not apply waxes, polishes, paint or clear coat over these films. If there is wax and wax residue on the film, remove with an all-purpose cleaner. To help restore the finish of the film, clean it with isopropyl alcohol and water (2:1 ratio).
Removing Difficult Contaminants
Some contaminants may remain after following the normal cleaning procedures. Most contaminants can be removed using one of these methods. Other cleaning products and methods should be used only on a customer test-and-approve basis.
1. To remove tar, oil, diesel smut or bituminous material:
- Wipe with 3M™ Citrus Base Cleaner or a rag dampened with kerosene, mineral spirits, heptane, or VM&P naphtha. Do not use other solvents.
2. To remove pollen and fungus:
- Wash the graphic with a 3 to 5% sodium hypochlorite (full-strength household bleach) solution or mild liquid detergent and water.
- Rinse with clean water immediately.
3. To remove crayon, lipstick, or similar materials:
- Select an appropriate solvent and test it in an inconspicuous area to ensure it removes the contaminant without damaging the graphic. This must be done on a customer test and approve basis.
- Wash immediately with mild liquid detergent and water, then rinse with clean water.
CAUTIONS with Power washing or Pressure washes. Aggressive washing can damage the film.
Excessive pressure during power washing can damage the film by forcing water underneath the film. Water lessens the adhesion of the film to the substrate allowing the film to lift or curl. These problems are magnified by wind.
To avoid edge lifting or other damage to the film, follow these important steps:
- Use a spray nozzle with a 40 degree wide spray pattern.
- Be sure the spray nozzle includes a nozzle protector (tip guard).
- Use a maximum pressure of 1500 to 2000 psi.
- If the system is heated, limit the water temperature to 180°F (82°C) or less.
- Hold nozzle at least 12 inches (300 mm) away from and perpendicular (90 degrees +/- 10) to the graphic.
- Do not direct the water stream at a sharp angle to the edge of the film.
