STEP 1 - Edge & Surface Prep
The Ultimate Edge Prep for PPF and Vinyl Installation
STEP 1 – Edge & Surface Prep is a precision-formulated solution designed to optimize adhesion and performance prior to applying paint protection film (PPF) or vinyl. Developed by the creators of the world-renowned Instagel, STEP 1 removes slick residues, fillers, and sealants left behind during manufacturing or dealer prep restoring the surface to its cleanest state for a flawless installation.
These unseen contaminants often compromise film adhesion, especially in tight corners, sharp edges, and recessed areas. STEP 1 eliminates these risks, allowing the film to bond more effectively for cleaner lines and long lasting results.
What truly sets STEP 1 apart is its ability to reduce or eliminate adhesive residue during film removal, a common frustration with traditional edge preps or adhesion promoters.
Why STEP 1?
Because every install deserves clean edges, confident adhesion, and no surprises down the road.
Features:
- Far superior to alcohol.
- Maximizes film coverage with reduced risk of edge lifting.
- Safe on painted and clear-coated surfaces — not an adhesive promoter.
- Enables easy film repositioning during installation.
- Designed for recessed panels, complex curves, and sharp edges.
- Helps prevent adhesive residue during future film removal.
