Felt Squeegee Buffer Soft

The Felt Squeegee Buffer Soft is an essential installation accessory used to create a protective barrier between your squeegee and film surface.

During vinyl wrap, PPF, tint, and graphics installations, direct contact between a hard squeegee edge and the film can sometimes cause scratches, scuffing, drag lines, or unwanted surface marks. Adding a felt buffer helps reduce friction and allows the squeegee to glide more smoothly across the material.

This soft felt strip is ideal for delicate films, gloss finishes, satin wraps, matte wraps, paint protection films, and other sensitive surfaces where finish quality is critical.

Ideal for:

Vehicle wrapping

Paint protection film (PPF) installation

Window tint installation

Signage graphics application

Decal installation

Fleet branding projects

Architectural film installation

Decorative film applications

Whether you're working on a full vehicle wrap or a small signage project, the Felt Squeegee Buffer Soft helps improve both installation performance and final presentation.
