### Installation Instructions for a Pre-Cut DIY PPF Kit for Tesla Cybertruck

**Materials Needed:**
- Pre-cut PPF kit (Paint Protection Film)
- Microfiber towels
- Squeegee or application tool
- Spray bottle with a mixture of water and a few drops of dish soap (for lubrication)
- Heat gun or hairdryer
- Isopropyl alcohol or automotive cleaner
- Clean, lint-free cloths
- Optional: Plastic trim removal tools

**Preparation:**

1. **Clean the Vehicle:**
- Wash your Tesla Cybertruck thoroughly with car soap and water.
- Ensure the surface is free of dirt, dust, and any other contaminants.
- Dry the vehicle completely with a clean microfiber towel.

2. **Clean the Installation Area:**
- Wipe down the specific area where you will be applying the PPF with isopropyl alcohol or automotive cleaner.
- This will ensure no residues or oils interfere with the film's adhesion.

**Application:**

1. **Position the Pre-Cut Film:**
- Unroll the pre-cut PPF pieces on a clean, flat surface.
- Identify each piece based on the installation instructions that came with your kit. Typically, the pieces are labeled for specific areas of the vehicle.

2. **Apply the Film to the Vehicle:**
- **Spray the Surface:**
- Lightly spray the area of the vehicle where you will be applying the film with the soapy water mixture. This will help you reposition the film if necessary.

- **Peel and Position the Film:**
- Gently peel the backing off the pre-cut PPF piece, taking care not to let the adhesive side touch anything.
- Carefully place the film onto the vehicle surface. Align it according to the edges of the area it’s meant to cover.

3. **Squeegee the Film:**
- Use a squeegee or application tool to gently press the film onto the vehicle. Start from the center and work your way outwards to remove any air bubbles and excess water.
- Be gentle to avoid stretching or damaging the film.

4. **Heat and Shape the Film:**
- Use a heat gun or hairdryer to apply mild heat to the film. This will make the film more pliable and help it conform to the vehicle’s curves and edges.
- Gently stretch and mold the film as needed to fit the contours of the vehicle. Avoid overheating, as it can cause damage to the film.

5. **Trim and Final Adjustments:**
- Use a sharp blade or utility knife to trim any excess film along the edges for a precise fit. Be careful not to scratch the vehicle’s paint.
- Smooth out any remaining bubbles or wrinkles with the squeegee.

6. **Final Cleaning:**
- Wipe down the edges and surrounding areas with a clean microfiber cloth to remove any soapy residue and ensure a clean finish.

**Post-Installation Care:**

1. **Allow the Film to Set:**
- Let the PPF set for at least 24 hours without exposure to water or harsh conditions. This allows the adhesive to fully bond with the vehicle’s surface.

2. **Avoid Washing the Vehicle:**
- Do not wash the vehicle for at least 48 hours after installation. This prevents the film from being disturbed during the curing process.

3. **Regular Maintenance:**
- Clean the PPF with a mild car soap and water solution. Avoid abrasive cleaners or tools that might damage the film.
- Regularly check the edges of the film to ensure they are secure and free of debris.

**Tips:**

- **Work in a Clean Environment:**
Ensure that you are working in a dust-free environment to avoid debris getting trapped under the film.

- **Be Patient:**
Take your time with each step, especially during the alignment and squeegeeing process.

- **Seek Assistance:**
If you find it challenging to apply the film on your own, consider enlisting the help of a friend or a professional installer.

By following these detailed instructions, you should be able to successfully apply your pre-cut PPF kit to your Tesla Cybertruck and protect it from damage.
