Keep the Film Looking New.PPF care and maintenance in Calgary — plans from $49/month.

Hand wash only, with a pH-neutral car soap and a clean microfiber mitt using the two-bucket method. Keep a pressure washer at least six inches from any film edge, skip automated brush washes entirely, and never use a polish or wax containing petroleum solvents — they attack the self-healing top coat. Dry with a plush microfiber towel rather than letting Calgary hard water spot the surface.

A PPF-safe deep clean every one to three months and a professional film inspection at least once a year is the realistic baseline for a Calgary daily driver. Winter is what drives the schedule: road salt and pickle mix sit in the edge seams and are the single most common cause of premature edge lift.

No. Our PPF care and maintenance plans cover any vehicle with paint protection film, wherever it was installed. We inspect the existing film on the first visit and tell you honestly what condition it is in — including if it is near the end of its life and a plan would be money badly spent.

Only pH-neutral, PPF-safe professional chemicals — no automatic washes, no abrasive compounds, no solvent-based sealants. Top-ups use a film-specific sealant made to bond to a TPU top coat rather than to clear coat, which is why a generic detailing wax is not a substitute.

Edge lifting, small trapped bubbles, and lifted corners around handles and badges — the wear points that show up first. Full panel replacement is a separate job, quoted individually, though plan members get it at a member rate. If the film is failing because it is simply old, we will say so instead of patching it.

It mostly protects the edges, and edges are where film dies. Salt and grit that sit in the seams break the adhesive bond long before the film itself wears out, so regular cleaning and an annual inspection are the difference between catching a lifted corner early and re-wrapping a panel.

Yes. Every plan is month to month with no long-term contract — upgrade, downgrade, or cancel with 30 days notice. Annual billing is 10 months for 12, and you can move from monthly to annual at any point.

Elite Care members get complimentary pickup and drop-off inside Calgary city limits. Professional Care members can add it per visit for a flat fee — tell us your postal code and we will confirm before you book.

Yes — the adhesive is still curing. No washing at all for the first 48 hours, hand wash only from day three, and no automated brush washes until day 15. The full phase-by-phase guide is on this page under "PPF Aftercare — The First 30 Days".

It documents the maintenance. Manufacturer film warranties cover defects such as yellowing, cracking, and peeling — not damage from harsh chemicals or brush washes — so a dated inspection record showing the film was cleaned with PPF-safe products removes the usual argument during a claim.
