How to use

Clean the trunk sill area thoroughly to remove dirt, grease and residues before applying the film. Align the overlay with the sill contour and apply from one side to the other, smoothing out air bubbles and ensuring full contact with the surface. Where necessary, use a heat gun or hair dryer on low setting to help the film conform to complex curves, then press down edges for secure adhesion. Allow the adhesive to set according to ambient temperature and avoid heavy moisture exposure for the first 24 hours.

Usage recommendations

For best results, prepare the surface with an alcohol-based cleaner and avoid wax or polish residues prior to application. If removal is required, warm the film slightly to soften adhesive and peel slowly to minimize residue. Clean remaining adhesive with a safe adhesive remover and rinse the area. Regularly clean the film with mild detergent and a soft cloth to maintain the carbon-style look and protective function.
