PPF & Wrap Aftercare Kit | Film-Safe Pre-Wash, pH-Neutral SiO₂ Wash & Microfibre
PPF & Wrap Aftercare Kit
You've just paid for film. This is how you don't ruin it.
Paint protection film and vinyl wraps fail in ways paint doesn't. Edges lift when they're scrubbed. Strong alkaline traffic-film removers attack the adhesive line. Solvent-heavy quick detailers haze the topcoat. Most of the damage we see on film wasn't done by the road — it was done by a well-meaning owner with the wrong bottle.
This is the kit we hand our own PPF customers. Same products, same order.
THE TWO-STAGE WASH
1. LIBERA — the pre-wash. An alkaline TFR formulated by Labocosmetica specifically for film and vinyl, so you get traffic-film cleaning power without the edge-lift risk of a general-purpose alkaline. It's the only alkaline product in this kit, and it's the one purpose-built for the surface. Foam it on, let it dwell, rinse — the point is to remove as much as possible before anything touches the film.
2. REVÌTAX — the contact wash. pH 7 at 20°C on Labocosmetica's own technical data sheet, so it cleans without stripping. It also carries a mixture of solubilised siloxanes that anchor to the surface, topping up gloss and hydrophobics in the same pass. Labocosmetica list PPF under compatible materials and rate the beading and sheeting at up to four months, with maximum protection eight hours after application.
Dilution, per Labocosmetica: 1:10 through a foam gun, 1:100 in the bucket on uncoated surfaces, up to 1:150 when you're maintaining an existing coating.

WHY THE TOOLS MATTER AS MUCH AS THE CHEMISTRY
Film is softer than clearcoat and it marks more easily. A dense, plush mitt carries grit up into the pile and away from the surface instead of dragging it across; a thin sponge does the opposite. The drying towel is dual-sided and absorbent enough that you're laying it on and lifting, not pressing and pulling. And the glass cloth is a carbon weave that won't shed fibres onto film edges.
WHO IT'S FOR
Anyone running PPF, a vinyl wrap, or a mix of filmed and unfilmed panels. It's equally at home on a fully coated car — REVÌTAX is designed to extend coatings, not fight them.
