How long after applying explosion-proof film can you roll down the windows?

For the first three days after applying the film, avoid rolling down the windows or washing the car. Try to minimize window usage within the first week to prevent moisture from causing the film to shift, peel, or detach. Also, avoid using the rear window defroster during this period, as residual moisture may adversely affect the defroster lines. Here are some post-application precautions for car window films: 1. After installation, use a damp towel, sponge, or soft cloth to wipe the film surface. 2. Do not wash the windows with water for the first three days after application to prevent moisture from causing the film to detach. 3. Avoid rolling the windows up and down for several days after application, especially for new cars with freshly applied films. The glass is usually tight, and it takes 5-7 days for the heat-insulating film to fully adhere to the window. During this period, the edges of the film can easily curl or peel when the windows are opened or closed, and the film may shift if not fully bonded. High-quality films typically have excellent abrasion resistance. For example, LLumar films use specialized high-performance resin adhesive between layers, offering outstanding adhesion. This allows the film to resist curling even with minimal or no edge (where the film edge is only 1-2 mm from the glass edge) and provides excellent scratch resistance. 4. Avoid using the rear window defroster for the first week, as residual moisture may adversely affect the defroster lines. 5. If the film becomes loose during car washing, return to the professional installation shop to have it resecured for optimal performance and durability.
