When pasting PPF on the car body, it should be rolled up a few centimeters wherever possible. If this is not done, sand will be clogged under the edges of the material, which will worsen the appearance of the car.
Turning up the clear bra when pasting allows you to avoid air penetration under it. If the edges of the protective material do not start behind the part, the film may soon start to swell in places.

Other negative effects on the film.
The need to tighten the PPF edges is partly due to the need to create tension. If it is not strong enough, creases may form on the surface of the film within the first month after gluing. The anti-gravity material itself will start to shrink towards the center, leaving the edges of the body part unprotected.
Wrapping the film helps protect its edges from external mechanical impact. When the protective material is glued to the joint, frequent polishing of the body and washing it with a high-pressure device will quickly worsen the adhesion of the film at the edges, as a result of which it will begin to bristle.
If the protective film is not rolled up, its edges will be exposed to intense atmospheric factors. Sun rays, heat and precipitation can cause accelerated aging of the edges of the protective material, increasing the risk of premature peeling and loss of attractive appearance.
Polymer materials do not tolerate negative temperatures, losing their elasticity and becoming brittle. When turning the edges of the film, even if in a small amount, they still get heat from the engine compartment and the car interior. Sticking the protective material into the joint can cause it to crack at the edges even during the first frosts. Ultimately, neglecting to roll up the film leads to unnecessary expenses for the operation of the car. You can buy film patterns for the car, the dimensions of which provide for the possibility of turning the protective material, in our store.
