Does Rain Affect the Car After Applying Paint Protection Film?

[LeAngelina]

It is best to avoid exposure to rain immediately after applying the paint protection film. The film has not yet fully bonded with the car's paint, and there may still be small air bubbles that need to be removed through drying. Additionally, the edges of the newly applied film are not very secure, so it is advisable to let the car sit for a few more days to allow the film to adhere more firmly. Detailed explanations are as follows: 1. Avoid using high-pressure water jets: If the film has perfectly bonded with the car's paint, rain will not affect it, as water cannot penetrate the film. However, within the first month after application, it is best not to use high-pressure water jets to spray the seams of the paint protection film intensely, as this could loosen the edges and reduce its protective effect. 2. Car washing precautions: When washing the car, avoid scratching the film's surface with hard objects or scrubbing it too hard, as scratches and wear marks can affect the film's shine and overall appearance.
