PPF Care – wash, seal and protect paint protection film

Paint protection films (PPF) protect your paint from stone chips, scratches, and UV damage – but the film itself also needs care. Without regular maintenance, PPF can yellow, stain, or lose its self-healing properties.

Swissvax offers its own PPF care line for glossy and matte films. All products are chemically compatible with common film types and formulated to clean, seal, and protect – without affecting adhesion or clarity. The result: a film that stays invisible, self-healing, and protective – for years, not just months.

PPF-safe wash: Conventional car shampoos can leave residue on the film surface or attack adhesive edges over time. Car Bath is pH-neutral and free of aggressive solvents – safe for all PPF types. For matte film, use Car Bath Opaque to clean without unwanted gloss.

Carnauba wax sealant: The PPF wax (40 Vol.% carnauba) was developed specifically for wrapped vehicles. It seals the film surface, enhances water repellency, and protects against UV yellowing and environmental influences – with durability of 6–9 months. For matte PPF, use Opaque wax to preserve the satin finish.

The PPF Protection Set contains all coordinated products for the complete care of partially and fully wrapped vehicles – everything from a single source.

Yes – fine scratches, scuffs, and light holograms on glossy PPF can be removed by hand with Cleaner Fluid Regular or Cleaner Fluid Medium, or by machine with CF Professional Regular. All Swissvax polishes are PPF-compatible and tested on film surfaces. Work with light pressure and a soft pad to avoid overheating the film.

Important for matte PPF: Polishing is not recommended on matte PPF, as it would alter the satin finish. Instead, use Pre-Cleaner Opaque to remove old sealants and contamination without attacking the matte character.

Keep matte surfaces matte – with the Swissvax Opaque series

Matte films and matte paints are more sensitive than glossy surfaces: dust, dirt, and UV radiation break down the flat texture more quickly, and conventional care products with gloss enhancers cause irreversible glossy spots.

Swissvax Opaque products use natural carnauba wax without fillers or gloss additives to build a protective barrier that repels water and dirt and fully preserves the matte finish. The Opaque series includes Car Bath Opaque, Pre-Cleaner Opaque, and Opaque wax – each product coordinated with the others.

Regular application of Opaque wax every 2–3 months preserves the protection and eases future cleaning. For quick refreshes between washes, Quick Finish Opaque removes fingerprints and light soiling without water.

The right towel and the right applicator make a measurable difference on film surfaces. Swissvax microfiber towels are laser-cut to avoid scratching edges, and each towel type is designed for a specific step: washing, polishing, buffing, or drying. All towels are machine-washable and reusable.
