Before applying the wrap, make sure that you wipe down the bed rails so they are clean. Apply slip solution to the area you are going to apply the wrap. Next, you can apply the film. Squeegee and you are done.

How to Prepare Your Protection Film

The room temperature required for the installation should be between 48 and 98 degrees Fahrenheit. Do not install and schedule for another day if it is humid or the film might get damaged and be improperly installed. The lighting needs to be good when you start your installation so you don’t make any mistakes when applying the film. 24 hours before you begin you installation, wash your vehicle to remove any dirt or dust. And just before you apply the film, you will once again clean the area.

It may sound like a lot of work but the work you do to install the protection film will pay off in the long term.
