PRODUCT INFORMATION

The film may appear milky, hazy and cloudy around 5-7 days after application, this is caused by water between the film and glass. This condition is normal in the drying process and will clear to a consistent appearance with a few days.

DO NOT clean the inside of your windows for 7 days.

DO NOT use coarse cloths, brushes or abrasive type cleaning agents to clean the film.
