It is highly unlikely for paint protection film to harm OEM paint. Paint systems used on modern assembly lines today produce a minimum bond strength of 16 MPa and maximum of 25 MPa between the panel and the paint depending on color, iridescence and the system used. Our film’s bond to the painted surface at normal state (immediately following installation) is .0753 MPa. Even after years of heat and sun, the bond between the film and the paint increases to only 0.17 MPa. What that means is in the absolute worst case scenario, the bond of factory paint to the panel is over 94 times stronger than the bond of our film to the paint. In the best case, the paint is 332 times stronger.
That being said, it is still recommended to have a professional remove the film in accordance with our published guidelines.

Light surface scratches will self-heal when external heat is applied.
ATP is short for adenosine triphosphate and it is an organic molecule that is used by living cells as their main source of energy. Animal, plant bacterial, yeast and mold cell products and break down ATP to drive several biological processes, and the main energy transfer molecule in the cell. The presence of ATP on a surface indicates that the surface has not been adequately cleaned and has the potential to harbor and support bacterial growth. The residue may also contain hazardous material including protentional allergens. Therefore, ATP is an ideal indicator of surface cleanliness.
For the film to completely dry out, the weather conditions (cold vs. warm, non-sunny vs. sunny) will affect the total time. There may be small water beads and a slightly cloudy look till the film completely dries out. We advise to not clean the film for 30 days after installation to be safe.
