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.

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.

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.

Yes. All of our PPF has Self-Healing technology.

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.

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.

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.

Both the metal and the coating used in the ULV product line are proprietary. ULV is a metal-polymer complex and is not sputtered.

Yes. All SunTek window films are fully backed by our manufacturer’s warranty.

Unlike window film, factory tint is a pigment within the glass that’s installed during the manufacturing process. There is no way to remove the tint from the glass. The only alternative to getting the same benefits of window film is to install window film over the factory tint.

We recommend that you leave your windows up for 72 hours (3 days) after they are tinted. This will allow the film time to adhere to the glass so it will not peel when it is finally rolled down.

Let’s face it, a car is a not an investment. It is a liability. Over time, natural wear and tear as well as adverse affects from mother nature can take a toll on your vehicle. With our protection and preservation services, paint and body damage can be prevented and your vehicle will be able to maintain a constant state of perfection while providing you with peace of mind, ease of maintenance and retain value.

This is the most crucial step prior to a multi-stage paint correction. The thought of having multiple high speed tools touching the vehicle’’s paint surface is often times daunting. While this commonly happens at most dealerships and inexperienced detail shops, here at Vivë, it is our number one priority to produce the most striking result without creating further damage by incorporating next generation equipment. The vehicle is thoroughly inspected using multiple light sources including high powered LEDs, direct sunlight, and a sun gun to reveal all imperfections. A high powered digital magnifying microscope will be used to look into deeper scratches providing high resolution details at 500x magnification. The next step is to measure the paint’’s clear coat using an ultrasonic paint depth meter to make sure there is enough clear coat to work with. This is a very important process and commonly overlooked by most detailing shops. It determines the thickness of the paint and the possibility of burning through the clear coat. All panel edges, plastics and sensitive areas will be protected using body safe masking tapes. Another step most detailing shops will ignore. Masking these areas will prevent the buffer from burning through the clear coat, since the paint is always the thinnest towards the edge of the panels.

It is a common misconception that a brand new vehicle requires no paint correction and that the paint is fresh from the factory. It is the dealership’s usual practice to do a new car prep before delivering to the customer. Dealerships will always use the fastest and cost effective way to prep the car, which inevitably creates these imperfections. In addition to that, the dealership detailers uses a body shop glaze and a combination of high speed machines with dirty wool pads to create that show car shine under the showroom lights. This merely helps to create extra gloss, hiding all the imperfections remaining.

Multi-stage paint correction can be defined as re-leveling, rejuvenation, and renovation. Here at Vivë, it is the usage of high-tech tools and materials coupled with knowledge and experience to permanently remove any swirl marks, spider webbing, fine to deep scratches, water spots, bird dropping etchings, and other paint defects. Our expertise lies in restoring your car’s paint to a better-than-new condition, revealing an optically clear and smooth finish.

STEK and SunTek warrants Paint Protection Film to be free from defects in materials and workmanship for ten (10) years from the date of purchase.

Window tinting typically refers to a process in which a transparent sheet of film is applied to the inside of a vehicle's windows. The main purpose of this process is to reduce the amount of heat and radiation from the sun that reaches the interior of the vehicle, but many folks just tint their windows because they think it looks cool. The thickness of the film and the material from which it is made can vary, and different states have different restrictions regarding the darkness of the film that may be used.
