Product Information

Full details

The SolaDirect Peelable Film is ideal for DIY enthusiasts and automotive hobbyists who want a quick, reversible way to customize or protect surfaces like alloy wheels and decorative trim. Its primary benefit is the ability to provide a durable, semi-matt finish that acts as a shield against water, dust, and UV exposure, with the unique advantage of being removable when you want a change; however, users should note that the ease of removal can depend heavily on the thickness of the coating and the condition of the underlying surface.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this product permanent?

No, it is designed to be a removable, peelable film, though its durability depends on the thickness of the application and the surface material.

Can I use this on non-metal surfaces?

It can be used on various suitable materials, but you must test it on a small, hidden area first to check for compatibility and adhesion.

How many coats should I apply?

For best results and easy removal later, we recommend applying several uniform, thin coats rather than one heavy application.

Will it protect my wheels from road salt?

Yes, it provides a protective barrier against water, moisture, and debris, which can help shield the underlying alloy.

What is the best way to clean the surface before spraying?

Use a dedicated automotive degreaser and a clean, lint-free cloth to ensure the surface is completely dry and free of contaminants.

Troubleshooting

The film is tearing during removal

This is usually caused by applying the film too thinly. Ensure you apply enough coats in the future to create a robust, elastic layer.

Film not sticking to the edges

The surface was likely not degreased properly. Ensure all wax and silicone residues are removed before application.

Uneven or blotchy finish

You may be holding the can too close or moving too slowly. Maintain a consistent distance and speed across the entire surface.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before you begin, ensure your workspace is well-ventilated and the ambient temperature is within the recommended range on the canister.

Surface Prep: The surface must be perfectly clean, dry, and free of oil, wax, or grease. Use a high-quality degreaser to prepare the substrate.
Testing: Always perform a test spray on a small, inconspicuous area to ensure compatibility with the material finish.
Application: Shake the can vigorously. Hold the nozzle approximately 20-30cm from the surface and spray in smooth, consistent strokes.
Drying: Allow adequate drying time between coats. The film needs time to reach its full elastic state to ensure it remains peelable later.
Maintenance: To keep the surface looking its best, wash with mild soap and water, avoiding harsh chemicals that might degrade the film prematurely.
