CAUTION: When using any equipment, always follow the manufacturers'
instructions for safe operation.
CAUTION: Any activity performed for a long period of time in an awkward position
or with a high amount of force is potentially a risk for causing musculoskeletal
strain, pain or injury. When applying film, follow these practices to improve
comfort and avoid injury:
Alternative your tasks during the application.
Schedule regular breaks.
Perform stretches or do exercises to improve circulation.
Avoid awkward reaching.
Air Quality Regulations: State Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) regulations may
prohibit the use of certain cleaning chemicals with VOC's in graphic arts coatings
and printing operations. For example, the California South Coast Air Quality
Management District prohibits use of certain solvent-based solutions without a
permit and other California AQMD's prohibit use of certain solutions without a
permit or a regulatory exemption. Check with your State environmental authorities
to determine whether use of this solution may be restricted or prohibited.
For best results with your film application, ensure the following conditions are
met prior to application.
1. Do not wash vehicle within 12 hours of the application time. If washed in an
automatic car wash, do not select the "spot-free rinse" option.
2. Ensure the vehicle surface is completely dry.
3. Maintain the vehicle and ambient temperature between 16° to 32°C
(61° to 90°F).
4. Ensure the application environment is clean and well lit.
5. Sweep the work area clean to remove any loose dirt or particles.
6. Use a clean tabletop for handling the film. Do not place the film on the floor

Pre-Application Instructions
1. Dampen a lint free cloth with the solvent based cleaner.
2. Wipe the hood with the damp cloth. Then, immediately wipe dry with a dry
cloth.
3. Repeat Steps 1 and 2 using the alcohol based cleaner.
4. It is essential that the underside of the hood be cleaned too, all the way to the
body seam, as the film will be wrapped to that point.
Assuming the ambient application temperature was above the recommended
minimum of 16º C (60º F), keep the vehicle indoors as follows:
16ºC (60º F) and above: not required
5º to 16ºC (40 to 59ºF): 1 hour
Below 5ºC (40ºF): 3 hours
