Steps for applying invisible car wrap film: 1. Clean the car body thoroughly; 2. Lay the invisible car wrap film on the car body and measure and cut it to approximate size; 3. Spray water on both the car body and one side of the film; 4. Position the cut film in place and use a squeegee to remove excess water; 5. After securing the film, trim off the excess, leaving about one centimeter for edge sealing; 6. Use a heat gun to shrink and seal the edges. Invisible car wrap film is a type of automotive film, different from other color-changing films. This film is transparent and unnoticeable, hence the name 'invisible car wrap.' It is a paint surface maintenance and beauty product widely used in the automotive film beauty and maintenance industry. Once applied, it isolates the car's paint from the air, protecting against acid rain, oxidation, scratches, and scrapes.
Last time I did the paint protection film installation myself, it was quite interesting. I first parked the car in the shade, thoroughly washed it and wiped the body clean with alcohol degreaser to ensure no dust or oil stains. I prepared all the necessary tools including installation solution, squeegee, heat gun, and specialized film. After spraying the installation solution, I started applying from small sections, gently smoothing the film from the center outward while using the squeegee to remove bubbles. Special attention was paid to heating and shaping the edges, otherwise they might lift. The whole process took me an afternoon – patience is key, and beginners might find it a bit chaotic. After application, I let it dry naturally overnight. The benefits include scratch protection and peace of mind, but you need to invest in proper tools – don't skimp. The ideal temperature is around 20°C.
