Applying PPF TPU on your BYD electric vehicle not only protects the paintwork but keeps the car looking fresh and shields it from environmental damage. Proper care and maintenance are essential to keep the PPF TPU in optimal condition. Here’s a guide from Saigondecal Australia on how to ensure your protective PPF TPU film remains in great shape.
1. Why is PPF TPU Maintenance Important?
PPF TPU is a protective layer that guards against minor scratches, UV rays, and environmental elements. Proper maintenance not only extends the film's lifespan but also helps your BYD stay shiny and clean.
2. How to Clean PPF TPU Properly
Frequent cleaning of the PPF TPU layer is necessary to prevent harmful elements from settling on its surface.
- Regular Car Washes: Use clean water and a soap that is free of harsh chemicals. Washing the car every two weeks is ideal for removing dust and dirt buildup.
- Avoid High-Pressure Water: Excessive water pressure can damage or peel the PPF TPU. Stick to moderate pressure and keep a safe distance from the surface when rinsing.
- No Hard Brushes: Hard bristles can scratch the PPF TPU. Use a soft microfiber cloth or sponge for gentle cleaning.
3. Protecting PPF TPU from Weather Conditions
PPF TPU provides UV protection, but additional measures against extreme weather help preserve the film longer.
- Park in the Shade: When possible, park the vehicle in shaded areas or a garage to minimize UV exposure.
- Use a Car Cover: If parking outside is frequent, a car cover helps protect the PPF TPU from strong sunlight and acid rain.
4. Avoiding Chemicals and High Temperatures
Certain chemicals can damage or discolor the PPF TPU film.
- Avoid Alcohol or Ammonia Cleaners: These can corrode or cloud the film. Stick to safe car cleaning solutions without harsh chemicals.
- Stay Clear of High Heat: Don’t wash the car while the engine is hot or leave it in direct sunlight right after washing, as high heat may cause the PPF TPU to shrink or peel.
5. Periodic Inspection and Maintenance at Saigondecal Australia
Even with diligent care, regular checkups can help detect early signs of damage or wear.
- Inspect the Corners and Edges: Pay special attention to areas prone to peeling. If you notice any lifting, bring your car to Saigondecal Australia for immediate inspection and repair.
- Regular Maintenance at Saigondecal: Our skilled technicians will check the PPF TPU layer to ensure it is performing well and maintaining its glossy finish.
6. Adding a Ceramic Coating Over PPF TPU: A Comprehensive Protection Solution
Many customers choose to add a ceramic coating on top of the PPF TPU to enhance gloss and water resistance. This layer makes the car easier to clean and enhances the beauty of the PPF TPU.
- Enhanced Gloss: A ceramic coating over PPF TPU gives your car a deeper shine.
- Anti-Stick Properties: Ceramic coating resists water and dust, keeping your vehicle cleaner and easier to maintain.
7. How to Handle Minor Scratches on PPF TPU
One of the standout features of PPF TPU is its self-healing ability. For minor scratches, follow these steps:
- Use Heat for Self-Healing: For light scratches, a hair dryer or warm water can activate the PPF TPU’s self-healing properties. The scratch will fade under heat.
- Bring It to Saigondecal for Larger Scratches: For deeper or wider scratches, Saigondecal Australia can help inspect and treat the film to restore it to good condition.
8. Replacing PPF TPU When Needed
While PPF TPU is durable, replacement may be needed after several years to continue providing effective protection.
- Signs for Replacement: If the film becomes cloudy, loses transparency, or has deep scratches that won’t self-heal, it may be time to replace it.
- Professional Replacement at Saigondecal: Our team at Saigondecal Australia is experienced with modern equipment to reapply PPF TPU, ensuring high quality and durability.
