    Can I wax the car after the Protection Film had been applied?

    I want to wax my car, but since I never had the protection film before,I don't know if it will create a difference on the color when the film get removed.

    Please Advice!

    Thanks

    Well you should ask your film installer. Generally speaking not a problem (I have looked into this quite a bit) however some films should not be waxed and must instead be treated with a spray on plastic polish/wax to avoid scratching and discoloration. As to the portions that are not protected by film you should, of course, keep waxing with a quality wax. When you remove the film (in 2-4 years) you may very well see some difference but a lot will depend on sun exposure.

    You need to also wax the film. It will help when cleaning off bugs.

    Ask your film installer first. Some films cannot be waxed.
