How to use

Clean the trunk sill thoroughly to remove dirt, oils and wax residues, using a suitable automotive cleaner and a lint-free cloth. Align the pre-cut film with the rear bumper sill and peel back a portion of the liner to expose the adhesive. Carefully position the exposed edge, then gradually remove the liner while smoothing the film onto the surface with a squeegee or soft cloth to expel air and ensure full contact. Trim any excess only if necessary and press the edges firmly. Allow adhesive to set according to ambient temperature recommendations before exposing to heavy use.

Usage recommendations

For best results, apply the film in a dust-free environment at moderate temperature (ideally 15–25°C). Avoid washing the area with high-pressure water jets for 24–48 hours after installation. If removal is required, warm the film with a heat gun or hairdryer to soften the adhesive and peel slowly at a low angle to reduce the risk of residue or paint damage.
