Applying Protective Film

Model: BMW Serie 6 E64, E63 - Years 2003-2011
Part: Body

It is possible to apply a transparent film to the bodywork to protect the paint from the aggressive action of flies and also from scratches caused by small stones. Clean the bodywork thoroughly, removing any small dirt residues; shape the film considering the edges to be folded (it is also possible to purchase pre-shaped film segments).
Spray the bodywork with soapy water and apply the film carefully: once the correct position is defined, evacuate the water with the specific squeegee until the film adheres perfectly and heat with a bodywork hairdryer in the area of any folds. Then cut the film around the parking sensors.
