Paint Protection Film
General
Window film is a thin material that can be applied to the windows of a vehicle. It is typically made of polyester or other plastic materials and can be clear or tinted. Window film can reduce the amount of heat and UV rays that enter a vehicle, and can also help to reduce glare.
Window film can help to keep a vehicle cooler in hot weather, and can also protect the interior of a vehicle from fading. It can also help to reduce glare, making it easier to see while driving.
Different levels of film refer to the amount of tinting that the film has. The level of tinting can range from very light (almost clear) to very dark (almost black).
Your windows must be clean and free of any dirt, debris, or other contaminants before window film can be applied. If you are unsure, it is always best to consult with a professional window film installer.
Window film is typically thinner than paint protection film and is designed to be applied to glass surfaces. Paint protection film is thicker, more durable, and is designed to be applied to painted surfaces.
No, in most cases the tint is applied on the inside of the window. This allows for maximum durability and longevity of the tint.
It is normal for the tint to appear hazy or milky when first applied. This is caused by the adhesive on the back of the film, and any moisture that remains between the film and the glass. The haziness will typically clear up within a few days.
You should avoid using any harsh cleaners or abrasives on your windows for the first few weeks after the tint has been applied. Instead, use a mild soap and water solution to keep them clean. After a few weeks, you can use any standard window cleaner.
Purple window film is caused by exposure to UV rays. This can happen if the film is left in direct sunlight for extended periods, or if it is exposed to high levels of UV rays from artificial sources such as tanning beds or fluorescent lights.
With proper care, window film can last for many years. However, it is important to keep in mind that window film will eventually fade and become less effective over time.
Window film can’t be repaired. However, it can be taken off and the window can be re-tinted.
No, window film will not prevent glass from breaking. However, it can help to hold broken glass together and reduce the risk of injury. Due to its aggressive adhesive, the glass can remain in place, even though it will still shatter.
Yes, window film can help to increase safety and security by making it more difficult for would-be thieves to see into a vehicle. Additionally, the film can help to hold broken glass in place, which can deter burglars and vandals.
Yes, ultraviolet rays can deteriorate and fade your new window tint! Blocking out these rays will help to keep your film looking new for a longer period.
Yes, window film can provide privacy by making it more difficult to see into a vehicle. This can be especially helpful at night or in areas where there is high foot traffic.
The time it takes to tint a vehicle can vary, depending on the size and type of vehicle. In most cases, it will take 2-4 hours to tint a standard car or truck. Larger vehicles, such as RVs or buses, may take longer. If old film has to be removed, that can add anywhere from 30 minutes to half a day to the total time.
Yes, window film can reduce glare by blocking out some of the sunlight. This can be helpful in driving, especially during sunrise and sunset.
Yes, it is important to wait at least 24 hours after the tint has been applied before rolling your windows down. This will allow the film to adhere properly and prevent it from bubbling or peeling.
In most cases, yes. However, it is always a good idea to bring in a sample of your vehicle’s tint so that we can be sure to match it perfectly.
For best possible results, old film will need to be removed from your vehicle’s windows. This will allow the new film to adhere properly and prevent any bubbling or peeling. It’s always best to have a professional remove the old film to avoid damaging your windows.
Factory window tint is usually the color in the glass. Aftermarket window tint is a film that is applied to the glass with adhesive. As such, aftermarket window tint can be applied over factory window tint in most cases.
No, neither will be affected. The film is applied to the inside surface of the glass, and the defroster elements are on the outside surface.

As the name implies, one-way film is a type of window film that allows you to see out, but others cannot see in. This can be useful for privacy or security purposes. It is important to note that one-way film does not work at night, as there is not enough light difference between the inside and outside of the car. At night, if you have lights on inside and no lighting outside, then it reverses.
No. Window film is meant to be applied to glass surfaces with a smooth finish only. The oil in plastics, plexiglass, or Lexan prevents the film from sticking effectively for a long time.

Paint Protection Film (PPF) is a clear urethane film that is applied to the painted surfaces of your vehicle. The film acts as a barrier between the paint and the elements, protecting against chips, scratches, and stains.
When properly cared for, PPF can last for many years. However, the film will eventually need to be replaced.
There are many reasons to have PPF installed on your vehicle. Some people do it to protect their investment, while others do it for the convenience of not having to worry about washing and waxing their car as often.
XPEL Paint Protection Film is made from a durable, clear urethane material that is specifically designed to protect your vehicle’s paint. The film is also self-healing, meaning that it will repair itself if it becomes scratched or damaged.
Other traditional paint protection films are made from cheaper materials that are not as durable or self-healing. These films will not last as long or protect your vehicle as well, making XPEL the better choice.

Paint Protection Film is applied to your vehicle using a process called wet installation. The film is placed on the surface and then rubbed down with a soapy solution to ensure that it adheres properly. Once the film is in place, it is trimmed to fit the contours of your vehicle.
Paint Protection Film can be applied to any painted surface on your vehicle. The most common areas are the hood, fenders, bumper, and mirrors.
No. We do not recommend that you try to install the film yourself. The process is complicated and requires special tools and expertise. If done incorrectly, the film will not adhere properly and will not protect your vehicle as intended.
To maintain the longevity of your Paint Protection Film, we recommend washing your vehicle with a mild soap and water solution. You can also use a pressure washer on a low setting. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as they can damage the film.
