PPF Edges After Washing: Inspect Before Applying a Booster

Updated · NANOLAB Knowledge
Practical approach
Check accessible edges gently, document concerns and refer installation defects to the film installer.
A dark line at an edge may remain after the surrounding film becomes slick and glossy.
Decision limits
Do not use aggressive tools or pressure to chase edge contamination. Follow the film's care requirements.
