Cleaning the oem rear arch PPF protection?

[Nickj]

So, my car is now 5 years old and the edges of the rear arch protection are looking a bit grubby.

What’s the best way of getting the edges clean without compromising the film?

My car is white also and dust and dirt is just more visible. Usually just a rag with all purpose cleaner gets it off but I periodically wipe the edges with Goof-off or Goo gone if some of the adhesive leeches out. With white cars the eventual yellowing will be more noticeable. I ordered a new set from Suncoast and changed them out myself last year. Really easy.

Try rubbing alcohol, especially on the edges.

Because it's yellow, it's bast to replace it with a 10mm. It's more durable.
Also get the PPF piece to the edge as you can get rock chips in that tiny exposed area. This is from experience.

Gyeon has PPF maintenance products. There is a polisher to remove haze and oxidation

PPF is relatively soft. Perform a wash and full decontamination of the entire car...including these areas. If the appearance is unsatisfactory, perform a light polish. Finish with ceramic protection.

Technically my car is crayon grey ( chalk in the US) . It’s the edges that I really need to sort. Not sure I need a new set yet or fancy changing them either…
