Standards

  • To ensure the Company provides a consistent and long lasting install, all paint protection film installations will prioritize longevity over invisibility. Not every panel edge will have film wrapped around it and seams in high tension areas will be present. The film will stop short on some panel edges leaving approximately 1/16th of an inch of exposed paint. The edges that will or will not be “wrapped” will be determined by the edge’s tolerances, cleanliness, accessibility and ultimately our professional opinion on the likelihood of the edge staying wrapped over time.

  • The Company will always strive to provide the best service possible and take great care in performing the ceramic coating and/or paint protection film services for your vehicle. However, it is important to note that no job is ever 100% "perfect". There will likley be slight imperfections in the final result that do not affect the overall performance of the coating or film. The Company will not be held liable for any such imperfections. The Company stands behind the quality of its work and will always do its best to address any concerns You may have.
