How to use

Clean the door handle recess thoroughly to remove dirt, wax and oils, using a suitable automotive cleaner and a lint-free cloth. Dry the surface completely before application. Peel the protective film from its backing and align it carefully with the handle recess; smooth the film from the center outward to eliminate air bubbles and ensure full contact with the painted surface. Trim any excess if necessary with a sharp blade, taking care not to cut the underlying paint. Allow the adhesive to set according to ambient temperature recommendations before exposing the vehicle to moisture or heavy use.

Usage recommendations

For best results, apply the film at moderate temperatures (typically 15–25°C) on a clean, dry surface. Avoid washing the vehicle or exposing the area to heavy rain for 24–48 hours after installation to let the adhesive cure. If removal is required, warm the film slightly with a heat source (hair dryer) and peel back slowly at a low angle to reduce adhesive residue; remove any remaining residue with a dedicated adhesive remover safe for automotive paint.
