I have this minor scuff to remove on the fender. On paint I would just use Meguiars 110 polish followed by a sealant. Can I do the same on PPF?

I use correction compound/polish/wax on PPF just like I would on bare paint. and have had no issues. I had a PPF installer tell me, many years ago (products are likely different today) that 50/50 mix of rubbing alcohol and water also works to 'erase' scratches in the film
Just like on paint. Start with the least aggressive product and move your way up the scale if you don't get the results you are after

Happy to hear that worked for you. We do not have any cleaners, polishes, or compound/abrasive style products designed for use on automotive paint protection film. That said, we have heard of mixed results on PPF depending on what it is one is trying to address. Definitely would not start with a compound. If one is going to attempt something outside of what our products are designed for definitely would recommend starting with least aggressive product.Nick Winn

You can use Meguiar’s 110 on PPF, but it’s crucial to handle it with care. PPF tends to be more delicate than regular paint, so apply the polish with a soft foam pad and avoid excessive pressure. A light touch is key to avoid damaging the film. Once polished, use a PPF-specific sealant for optimal protection. This method should help remove minor scuffs without compromising the integrity of the film. My experience? I’ve been 6 years working at AZ Auto Aesthetics located in Mesa.
