Four steps to a seamless finish.

Here's what to expect when your vehicle comes in for paint protection film.

Preparation

The first step is to thoroughly clean and dry the area where the film will be applied. This ensures that the film will adhere properly and that no dirt or debris is trapped under the film.

Measurement & Cutting

Next, the film is measured and cut to the correct size and shape for the specific area of the car being protected, using a proprietary computer program to create a precise template for the plotter to cut the film.

Installation

Once the film is cut to the correct size and shape, it is ready to be applied. A special solution is sprayed onto the car's surface, the film is carefully positioned on top, then pressed down firmly to ensure a secure bond, and any excess film is trimmed away.

Finishing

After the film is applied, any wrinkles or bubbles are carefully smoothed out for a seamless finish. This may involve using a heat gun or other tools to soften the film and help it conform to the contours of the car's surface.
