nvesting in Paint Protection Film (PPF) from LahoreAuto.pk is a smart way to shield your car from Lahore’s dusty roads, UV rays, and monsoon mud. To ensure your PPF—whether our Platinum TPU Package (PKR 170,000) or Gold TPH Package (PKR 87,000)—lasts its full lifespan of 3–10 years, proper maintenance is key. This guide provides step-by-step tips and dos and don’ts to keep your PPF in top shape, plus details on our detailing services for Lahore drivers.

Step-by-Step PPF Maintenance Guide

1. Regular Washing: Rinse your car weekly to remove dust and dirt, common in Lahore’s air. Use a pH-neutral car shampoo and a microfiber mitt to avoid scratches. For TPU films, warm water enhances self-healing properties.
2. Avoid Abrasive Tools: Skip rough sponges or brushes. Use two-bucket washing (one for soap, one for rinsing) to prevent grit from scratching the PPF.
3. Dry Gently: Pat the car dry with microfiber towels to avoid water spots, especially after monsoon rains.
4. Spot Clean Stains: Remove bird droppings, sap, or bugs promptly with a damp microfiber cloth and mild cleaner. These can etch PPF if left on, particularly in Lahore’s humid climate.
5. Wax or Seal (Optional): Apply a PPF-safe wax or sealant every 3–6 months to boost gloss and hydrophobicity. LahoreAuto.pk recommends XPEL sealant (PKR 5,000).

Dos and Don’ts for PPF Care

• Do: Park in shaded areas to protect PPF from prolonged UV exposure.
• Do: Schedule professional detailing at LahoreAuto.pk biannually to maintain film clarity.
• Don’t: Use automatic car washes with harsh brushes, which can dull or tear PPF.
• Don’t: Apply harsh chemicals like gasoline or acidic cleaners, which may degrade the film.
• Don’t: Wax TPU films for 7 days post-installation to allow proper curing.
