How to use

Before application, clean the trunk sill thoroughly to remove dirt, grease and wax residue; the surface must be dry and free of contaminants. Align the film to the sill edge using the vehicle-specific contours as a guide, then apply gradually from one side to the other while smoothing out air pockets with a soft squeegee or cloth. Apply firm, even pressure across the film to ensure full adhesive contact. If required, gentle heat from a heat gun or hair dryer can be used to improve conformity to curved areas; avoid excessive heat. For best results, allow the adhesive to set for the time recommended by the manufacturer before exposing the area to heavy use.

Usage recommendations

To maximize longevity, wash the protected sill with mild soap and water and avoid harsh chemical cleaners or aggressive mechanical scrubbing. Inspect the film periodically for edges lifting; replace the film when significant wear or damage appears to prevent moisture ingress under the adhesive and to maintain protection of the original paintwork.
