Care Instructions for XPEL Products
Proper aftercare is essential to maintaining the appearance, performance, and warranty coverage of every XPEL product installed by Driven. Follow these expert maintenance guidelines from our Burnsville, Minnesota studio to protect your investment and keep your vehicle looking showroom-fresh for years to come.
Essential Aftercare Principles
Whether you had PPF, window tint, ceramic coating, or a vinyl wrap installed at Driven, these four principles apply to every product. Following them consistently will maximize the lifespan of your protection and ensure your warranty remains valid.
Respect the Curing Period
Every XPEL product requires time to bond after installation. Washing or disturbing the product too early can compromise adhesion and performance.
Hand Wash Only
Automatic car washes with brushes can scratch and damage PPF, ceramic coatings, and vinyl wraps. Always hand wash with the two-bucket method.
Remove Contaminants Quickly
Bird droppings, bug splatter, tree sap, and road tar should be removed as soon as possible. Left too long, these can etch into coatings and stain films.
Schedule Annual Inspections
XPEL warranties on PPF and ceramic coatings require annual inspections. Book yours at Driven in Burnsville to keep your coverage active.
