Servicing Houston's Porsche Community Since 2007

The warranty will cover any defects that may have occurred after installation. Covered defects include: discoloration, fading, bubbling, peeling, cracking, and delamination.

‍

Use a microfiber towel slightly dampened with water to clean your windows. Use non-ammonia glass cleaners such as Adam’s Glass Cleaner or AENSO Pureview may also be used. Avoid the use of abrasive materials such as scouring pads, to clean your tinted windows.

‍

Your window tint may have a hazy appearance or moisture bubbles for up to 30 days after installation. These conditions will disappear once the moisture used to apply your tint dries up completely.

Do not roll down your windows for 5 days while it’s drying.

‍

If absolutely necessary, always go to a touch free wash. Using an automated car wash with brushes will void the warranty and dull the coating.

Do not wipe the vehicle unless necessary, as mentioned above. Your coating is still soft during the first week. If you notice your car has water spots, bird droppings, tree sap or bug splatter, immediately remove it using a Quick Detail Spray or Waterless Wash and a soft Microfiber Towel. Be gentle when wiping the surface. Do not wipe or drag the towel across the surface, it will create scratches.

Water bubbles will dry within the next 30 days, if they remain on your vehicle the bubbles will be addressed during your 30 day follow up.

During the next 30 days, PPF will shift and may cause some minor lifting. This is completely normal Any areas that may need trimming and/or readjusted will be addressed during your 30 day follow up.

The manufacturer’s warranty covers cracking, yellowing and peeling. It does not cover wear and tear from everyday driving.

If your car has no Ceramic Coating, we recommend using a quality Spray Sealant such as AENSO Gleam or Nanolex SiSplash to maintain and condition the film. This will keep the Top Coat protected from contaminants and easier to clean.

We use SunTek and S-TEK. These are the industry's best and works well with Houston weather. S-TEK is the clearest film in the market and exclusive to at our shop only. ‍We have been installing and tested hundreds of PPF brands since 2007, including popular ones such as XPEL, 3M and Kavaca.

We are happy to share a ballpark pricing, but accurate pricing requires a visual inspection. We would hate to over-quote you on something you don't need. Pricing comes down to a few variables.

• Condition of car’s paint (yes, brand new cars too)
• Brand of film you select
• Amount of coverage you are looking to cover
• Complexity of the panels
• Pre-cut or custom trimming

All of these factors are going to determine the cost.

We have been installing PPF since 2007. We install on average 50-60 PPF installations per month and we offer several different Premium Paint Protection Film at different price points, as well as "color changing" film that will transform your paint to a Matte Finish, or even Carbon Fiber.

‍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. We have over a decade of experience installing Ceramic Coatings, Paint Protection Film and paintwork.

There are cheaper shops out there. Our most precious commodity is time.

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.

Paint Protect Film isn't exactly cheap, but the key to a great PPF installation is the prep work. In most cases, 9 out of 10 new vehicles can benefit from some sort of Polishing or Paint Correction.

We would like to invite you over for a visual inspection. We will give you quick tour of our facility and to check out our work up close, to see what you are paying for.

We focus 95% of our efforts on prep work (usually 1-2 days). We make sure the canvas of your car is absolutely perfect before installing  Paint Protection Film - ensuring that your investment lasts as long as possible.

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.

For example, here's a scenario:

Shop A charges $1,500 for a Full Front End Coverage and uses a reputable film brand. While it maybe a competitive price, Shop A takes half the time for the installation (rush job) and does little to no prepping of the paintwork before installing film.

Imagine picking up your car, only to find out that there are cut lines and bugs under your film. How would you feel? Here's what a rushed job looks like and what a less-expensive job gets you. You truly get what you paid for, especially for Paint Protection Film.
