    Re: Car wash soap stained PPF

    Thanks all. I will keep everyone posted on what happens for sure!

    rl: good info on bleach hardening PPF. He used it on a small area with a cotton ball...

    Re: Car wash soap stained PPF

    SC -

    How did it turn out. Colored car foam *for marketing*, is not only a thing at car wash places, but I`m aware of 2 detailers mobile that *set themselves* to be different for pics, by using heavy colored foam wash`s.

    Anyhow, I was just thinking how me and the kiddo were removing the pits out of cherries and boy, did it take a washing or two for our hands to be not that red...and circled back to this thread

    Re: Car wash soap stained PPF

    I have seen this to by some on instagram that have some pink foaming soap. Not my cup of tea.

    Repeating myself....if this PPF was on a darker car, the owner would not have noticed. PPF is absorbent....

    Re: Car wash soap stained PPF

    I wonder if the soap bled underneath the ppf. It`s not difficult to lift edges during power washing.

    Re: Car wash soap stained PPF

    What would be a Interesting test is to get some of said this *showcar-marketing`ish* colored soap and actually do a controlled test on PPF.
    Both of which I have no interest in spending money to buy....but if someone has access to both, this would be a interesting lookey loo

    Re: Car wash soap stained PPF

    dunno what psi or what tip angle ya`ll are using - but I have never lifted ppf on any of mine. Most of my ppf is wrapped on all edges. but even headlights where sometimes you can`t wrap due to film thickness and the contour , I`ve uet to ~lift film~

    If PPF is lifting from PW, I would say PPF install-wise has got other issues going in..

    Yep it shouldn`t be much of an issue if you`re careful

    I have seen more *less than stellar* than proper installations around my area.
