Before getting started on your install, it's essential to wash your car thoroughly to ensure you get a long lasting install with no debris underneath the film. It might be tedious and time consuming, but you'll appreciate the attention to detail later as you're installing.

First Wash:
Use our car shampoo provided and the 2-bucket method to wash your entire car. Use about 5 or 6 ounces or “bloops” in a 5-gallon bucket of water filled about 3/4 of the way. Make sure you have a second 5 gallon bucket of water for your rinse bucket.
What you need:
- Car shampoo (included)
- 2 5-gallon buckets
- Water hose/spray gun/foam cannon (preferably distilled water but not required) - https://tesbros.com/products/tesbros-active-2-0-pressure-washer

Degrease Wash:
Clean out your buckets and grab the prep wash that comes in your kit. Mix 12 ounces in a 5 gallon bucket of water filled about 3/4 of the way. Use the 2-bucket method again to wash the FRONT of your car where you’ll be installing. Don’t forget the mirrors!

Dry:
Great work! You’re halfway there! This part may seem optional, but it’s actually very important to dry your car after a wash, especially if you’re using water that’s NOT distilled. Water that dries on its own will leave behind water spots, which is residue from the minerals in the water.
This module covers 3 different ways to dry your car:
1. Using a leaf blower
2. Using the yellow microfiber provided
3. Using a drying towel (null)

Clay Bar:
This section covers how to mix your clay bar solution and how to effectively use clay bar to smooth out the grainy roughness on your paint. This goes the extra mile to make sure all contaminants are off. Don't forget to rinse and dry the front of the car one more time before moving on! Reminder: Work in 2' x 2' areas to make sure you don't miss a thing.
What you need:
-Prep wash (included)
-Red bottle (included)
-Nitrile gloves (included)
-Distilled water
-Clay bar (included) null

Edge Prep:
Lastly, pull your car into your shop or garage, and follow along with me as you prep your edges. Without this step, dirt in edges surrounding the install areas can come loose and make its way underneath the film. Also, the hood actually wraps around the edges, so cleaning those up will ensure the film doesn’t pull back or loosen overtime.
What you need:
-70% Iso alcohol (included)
-Yellow microfiber (included)
-Lil chizler squeegee (included)
