TITAN
INSTALLER GUIDE.

Before You Begin

• Confirm the vehicle or glass has been fully inspected under proper lighting.
• Ensure the work area is clean, enclosed, and dust-controlled.
• Confirm temperature and humidity are within suitable installation range.
• Prepare all tools, solutions, blades, and towels before starting.
• Verify the correct Titan product has been selected for the application.
• Never begin installation on contaminated, overheated, or poorly prepared surfaces.

Storage & Handling

• Store Titan films in a clean, dry environment.
• Avoid direct sunlight and excessive heat.
• Keep rolls in original packaging until use.
• Do not crush, bend, or improperly stack cartons.
• Rotate stock correctly and use older inventory first.

Improper storage can affect liner release, adhesive behavior, and installation consistency.

Surface Inspection

• Inspect the surface carefully for rock chips, scratches, existing damage, repaint areas, lifting clear coat, contamination, overspray, wax, or polishing residue.
• PPF and tint should only be installed on stable, properly cured, and suitable surfaces.
• If the surface condition is questionable, advise the customer before proceeding.

Surface Preparation

• Pre-wash the vehicle thoroughly.
• Decontaminate the surface and remove waxes, sealants, polishing oils, and residue.
• Clean panel edges, gaps, badges, and tight areas carefully.
• Dry the vehicle completely before final prep.
• Perform a final panel wipe before installation.
• For tint and architectural film, ensure glass is fully cleaned, especially edges and corners.

Work Environment

• Install Titan films in a professional indoor environment whenever possible.
• Recommended conditions include a clean enclosed bay, controlled dust exposure, stable temperature, and strong overhead lighting.
• Avoid uncontrolled outdoor conditions unless absolutely necessary.

Best Installation Practices

• Handle film with clean hands and clean tools only.
• Avoid unnecessary contact with adhesive surfaces.
• Align carefully before locking placement.
• Use consistent overlapping squeegee strokes.
• Remove solution evenly and avoid trapping moisture or air.
• Apply controlled pressure, especially near edges and contours.
• Finish edges carefully without overstretching or distorting the film.

Special Notes for PPF Installation

• Avoid overstretching the film.
• Maintain uniform tension throughout installation.
• Pay close attention to complex curves, corners, and recessed areas.
• Inspect gloss consistency and clarity across visible surfaces.
• For wrapped edges and high-stress areas, take extra care with final pressure and finish.

Special Notes for Tint Installation

• For automotive solar tint, fully clean the glass before shrinking and laying film.
• Inspect for fingers, dust, and edge lift before delivery.
• For chameleon tint, align carefully for a clean premium visual finish and inspect from both inside and outside the vehicle.
• For residential and office tint, confirm glass type before installation and communicate cure-time expectations clearly.

Post-Installation Care Guidance

• After PPF installation, advise customers not to wash immediately and to avoid pressure washing edges during the early cure period.
• After tint installation, advise customers to allow haze or moisture to cure naturally and to avoid immediate cleaning or rough handling.
• Use only safe, non-abrasive cleaning methods.
