Questions
- How is the kit applied to the surface of my vehicle?
The patterns are cut in house on our machines using specially designed software. The kit is then peeled away from a paper backing and transferred to your car. The kit is moved into position using a solution and then the solution is squeegeed away so the kit adheres to the vehicle's surface.
- How long should I wait to get Paint Protection applied to my vehicle if it has just been repainted?
It is recommended to let
the paint cure for 15-30 days prior to installing paint
protection film. Gases from the paint need to escape fully before being
trapped between the surface of the vehicle and the paint protection
film. If not fully cured, then as a result over time the film can
discolor, and or the adhesive on the film can fail.
- Will the paint protection harm my painted surface if the film ever needs to be removed?
As long as the film is properly applied to a fully cured painted vehicle then it can usually be removed in one piece without causing damage to the painted surface of the vehicle.
- Is the application of the film permanent?
This is one of the benefits of paint protection film. It is not a permanent application, but will require professional removal. There are spray on permanent applications, which if not applied properly, would need to be sanded off and require repainting of your vehicle.
- Does the product come with a warranty?
Yes, there is a warranty on installation and materials.
- How long does it take to complete an installation?
Typically 3 - 5 hours. However, the amount of coverage and level of installation difficulty will affect the installation time, so the process could be longer. We do not rush the job, we take the time and care needed to have a great outcome.
- Where does the installation take place?
Being a mobile service provides the most convenient way possible to our customers. We come to you. This eliminates the time, energy, effort, and travel on your part. Simply stay relaxed in the comfort of your own home while we perform the installation in your garage. If you do not have a personal garage we can perform the installation at the car dealership before you take delivery of your newly purchased vehicle. All we need is a clean work environment.
- Will the paint protection film resist yellowing in color?
Yes, the film is constructed and made up of layers that contain UV inhibitors that resist harmful ultraviolet rays that can cause yellowing from the baking sun. There is also a true automotive clear coat that is sprayed onto the top surface of the XPEL Ultimate Film which will resist staining as well. Other films are known to stain or turn dull in appearance due to picking up contaminates and other elements from the road that causes the film to yellow over time. Oils from rain water, tar, hard water stains, and bug acids are all big causes of yellowing as well. Other than XPEL Ultimate film, no film currently on the market can fully 100% resist staining. XPEL Ultimate film has been tested to withstand break fluid, permanent marker, smeared transmission oil, and also self heal from scratches. What other film can do this?
- How is the film maintained?
Feel free to click on the "Film Care" instructions document to your right.
This will provide answers about how
to properly care for your film once the
paint protection is installed.
Yes, we also sell wax specially designed for
the film that is 100% safe. Any wax build up along the edges of the film can be easily removed by using a soft brush.
- What is the price for the film and installation?
This depends on the size of the vehicle and how much coverage is applied. The most popular areas of coverage are hood, fenders, mirrors, front bumper, head lights and fog lights. The longer and wider the vehicle, or the more coverage you want, the more film will need to be used. This will naturally increase the cost. Please contact us today for a quote.
- Why are your prices slightly higher then other installers?
Simply put, "You Get What You Pay For". We do not price match, nor are we affected by others that charge less. Our installation experience, products used, and the outcome of our work combined all reflect this. Other installers frequently use cheaper film or are not as experienced which allows for lower prices. Other installed kits by our competitors provide far less coverage or use other patterns that do not line up properly or are not as accurate. Please be cautious with lower prices that are on the market. Again, "You Get What You Pay For".
