FAQ
How long will the film last?
For clear film, it’s rated for maximum 8 years outdoor life by the manufacturer. For colored film, it’s rated for 5 years outdoor life.
Is it best to install the kit using wet or dry method?
Based on our past experiences, we’ve found that the wet method offers the best result. If done right, bubbles and misalignment is unlikely using the wet installation method. However, dry method is often used when installing smaller pieces, i.e. fog lamps.
The head lights seem to be foggy after the protection kit is installed, is this normal?
If this was done using the wet installation method, then it is normal. The fog is caused by moisture evaporating underneath the film. The fog appearance will last for several days, but will eventually clear out.
Will the adhesive damage my paint?
If the paint has been properly cured, clear coated, and free from surface damages, the adhesive will not damage the surface. For best results, always use a heat gun to soften up the glue before removing the vinyl.
The film is removed, but some adhesive is left on the surface. How do I remove it?
The adhesive can be removed using rubbing alcohol or Goo Gone.
Is the film easily bent to fit the contours of my car?
We have found that 3mm thickness is the best compromise between flexibility and protection. The film can be easily contoured onto most surfaces.
The film is not sticking to some areas, what should I do?
Before applying the film on to any surface, make sure you clean the area thoroughly and that it is free of dust and other debris. If the surface has been waxed recently, then the film may not stick until the wax is removed. Also, the film will stick very well if the surface is slightly above room temperature.
What’s the waiting period, after painting, before I can apply the clear paint protection film?
Check with your paint shop for their recommendation. The waiting period varies depending on the type of paint and how it was cured. Keep in mind that if the paint has been properly cured and clear coated, then the adhesive will not damage the surface.
Are the colored films street legal?
Colored films are for off-road competition uses only. They are not street legal. However, check your local law enforcement to which colors are not legal to have.
What’s the advantage of having a colored film over replacing the bulbs with colored bulbs?
Replacing the bulbs still doesn’t protect your head light lenses from scratches and damages from small debris.
