Squeegee Techniques

Types of Squeegees

In your kit, we’ve included 5 squeegees which are numbered 1-3. Some are labeled S or L which stands for Small and Large.

1 is the smallest and is great to use for small and tight surface areas.

2 Large and Small versions are versatile since these angled and can work very well with curves. You’ll likely use these the most.

3 Large and Small versions are the widest and sturdiest and used for large surface areas like the hood.

Pull Method: Most common squeegee method to apply the PPF and can be used for the majority of installation. This is used to remove the majority of the solution from between the film adhesive and the painted surface.
Push Method: This stroke is used when additional direct force is required. The pushing squeegee stroke is most often used to compress film fingers and remove bubbles. Other locations that could benefit from the pushing stroke are concave and confined areas, as well as edges.
