Paint Protection Film Frequently Asked Questions
How much is Paint Protection Film?
Purchasing Paint Protection Film comes down to a few variables. Your budget, how much coverage you want, the condition and size of your vehicle, the brand of PPF you want. All of these factors are going to determine the cost.
What do you mean "condition"? My car is new, does it really need a Paint Correction or Polish?
In most cases, 9 out of 10 new vehicles can benefit from some sort of Polishing or Paint Correction. Prepping the vehicle before applying Paint Protection Film will greatly enhance the gloss and film will lock it in for years to come. It is also going to determine the quality of the results.
My car has existing rock chips, scratches or minor defects. Can I still apply PPF?
In most cases, I recommend applying PPF over panel that is defect free and you get the best protection money can buy on day one. There is nothing wrong with applying PPF over paint defects, however, you will see slight air pockets around the defects (this includes areas with touch-up paint applied) and PPF will magnify the imperfections. We offer various cosmetic repair options such as Paint Correction, Polishing, Touch Up Paint and can refer out to reputable body shops for any paint and body work. Think of applying screen protector on your cracked smart phone screen, that's how it would look like.
Does your film Seal-Heal?
Yes. All of our PPF has Self-Healing technology.
What brands of Paint Protection Film do you offer?
We have been installing and tested hundreds of PPF since 2007, including popular ones such as XPEL, 3M and Kavaca. We chose to carry just two brands (SunTek and S-TEK)) that we think are the best and works well with Houston weather. S-TEK is the clearest film in the market and exclusive to at our shop only.
Does your film come with a warranty?
Yes. Our PPF comes with 7-10 years manufacturer's warranty that covers cracking, yellowing and peeling. It does not cover wear and tear from daily usage.
What makes you different than other shops?
We take the time to do things a certain and proprietary way that places a priority on quality over speed. We do things the right way instead of quick. We take a lot of pride in our work and our reputation matters most. There are cheaper shops out there. Our most precious commodity is time. We have over a decade of experience installing Ceramic Coatings, Paint Protection Film and paintwork, leveraging our experience will condense your time frame in terms of research, worrying about a bad job, headaches and not having to deal with "fly by night" shops disappearing. We believe in the work we do, and if something’s wrong, we fix it.
