How to use

Clean the trunk sill area thoroughly to remove dirt, grease and wax. Dry the surface completely before application. Position the film on the rear bumper edge and luggage sill to check fit, then peel the backing gradually while smoothing the film into place to avoid air bubbles. Apply firm pressure across the entire surface and along the edges to ensure adhesion. If needed, use a soft squeegee or a microfiber cloth to remove trapped air and to conform the film to contours. Allow the adhesive to set according to ambient temperature before loading heavy items into the trunk.

Usage recommendations

For best results, apply the film at temperatures between 15–25°C on a clean, dry painted surface. Avoid using aggressive solvents during surface preparation and do not stretch the film excessively during installation. Periodically clean the protected area with mild soap and water; avoid abrasive cleaners or pads that could damage the film surface.
