- General notes
- Use only BMW-approved anti-friction agents for fitting
- Application only at room and object temperatures between 18 and 25 °C
- Anti-friction agent dries after fitting and becomes sticky
- Anti-friction agent can only be used for fitting and not for fault elimination (e.g. grating)
- Freshly painted parts may only be glued after a minimum drying time of 24 hours
- Optimal attachment of the film to the background surface is achieved after approx. 48 hours. Film must not be exposed to mechanical strain beforehand (car wash, strength test, etc.).
IMPORTANT: To avoid grating noises, do not use soapy water (low-surface-tension water with washing-up liquid) or anti-friction agent containing silicone - Auxiliary materials and tools
