Frequently Asked Questions
Why choose RODIM® TPU PPF?
The quality of TPU directly affects the performance and durability of paint protection film. RODIM PPF is a premium TPU from BASF, the world’s largest and most recognized TPU manufacturer. Every step of the production chain from raw materials to finished films are fully traceable.
RODIM TPU PPF offers industry-leading performance in thickness, stain resistance, gloss, dirt resistance, scratch resistance, self-healing, and resistance to yellowing and aging. It effectively protects OEM paint from acid rain, insect residue, tree sap, and other contaminants, keeping your vehicle looking new longer.
Can I use car wash products after installing RODIM TPU PPF?
Yes. After two weeks, you can wash your vehicle regularly using pH-neutral car shampoos or other safe automotive cleaning products. Avoid solvent-based cleaner, as they may damage the film’s surface.
Can I use a high-pressure washer after installing RODIM TPU PPF?
Yes, but avoid directly spraying the edges of the film with high-pressure water.
Can I use an automatic car wash after installing RODIM TPU PPF?
Hand washing is recommended. If using an automatic car wash, choose a touchless system, avoid car wash machines with brushes, as they can cause the film’s edges to lift.
Will removing RODIM TPU PPF damage the OEM paint?
The chances of damaging OEM paint when removing RODIM PPF is very low. However, always have the film removed by a certified RODIM technician to minimize any risk.
What is self-healing?
RODIM TPU PPF features a special transparent thermoplastic polyurethane top coat with memory-based self-healing properties. Light scratches can disappear with exposure to heat, such as sunlight or warm air.
Note that this function has limits. If a scratch is too deep and penetrates the self-healing layer, it may not fully recover. However, the film’s protective function on OEM paint will remain effective.
