Maintenance

Maintenance & Technical Information

Contravision one-way vision film is designed for long-lasting performance and easy maintenance. To ensure your graphics stay clean, bright, and visually effective, follow these simple care guidelines:

Cleaning:

  • Hand wash your vehicle using a soft sponge or cloth and a mild soapy solution.

  • Rinse with clean water and avoid high-pressure jets directly on the window film edges.

  • Never use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or harsh chemicals as these can damage the perforations or ink layer.

Durability:

  • Our premium-grade Contravision vinyl offers a typical lifespan of 3–5 years, depending on exposure and maintenance.

  • Films are UV-stable and weather-resistant, retaining colour vibrancy even in prolonged sunlight.

  • Avoid continuous exposure to fuel spills, wax, or other petroleum-based products that could weaken the adhesive.

Removal:

  • Contravision graphics can be safely removed without damaging the glass surface.

  • For the best results, warm the area gently with a heat gun or hairdryer to soften the adhesive before peeling away the film.

  • Any residue can be cleaned using an alcohol-based adhesive remover and a lint-free cloth.

Installation & Aftercare:

  • Once installed, avoid washing the vehicle for at least 48 hours to allow the adhesive to cure fully.

  • In cold or wet weather conditions, curing time may increase slightly.

  • If the graphics become damaged, avoid partial patching — instead, contact us for a professional repair or reprint to maintain a consistent finish.

All Contravision products supplied and installed by Impact Sign Solutions are produced using high-grade materials from trusted manufacturers, ensuring excellent optical clarity, print quality, and durability on the road.
