Install guides, spec sheets, a film calculator, and warranty registration, all in one place.

Install Guides

Install Guides

Step by step written guides for a clean install.

01

Surface Prep

Wash, decontaminate, and wipe down with a wax free prep cleaner. Remove badges and hardware where you can. Film only sticks as well as the panel is clean.

02

Laying the Film

Work in a clean, enclosed space around 70°F. Tack the film at the center, glass it out across the panel, and squeegee from the middle toward the edges.

03

Post Heating & Edges

Post heat recesses, curves, and edges so the film holds its new shape, and check the temperature with an infrared thermometer. Trim with knifeless tape or a fresh blade.

Film Calculator

How Much Do I Need?

Care & Maintenance

Keep It Looking New

The First Week

Let the adhesive settle before the first wash, and keep the car out of automatic car washes.

Washing

Hand wash with a pH neutral soap and a soft mitt. Keep pressure washers at least a foot away and never aim them at an edge.

What to Avoid

Skip abrasive polishes, solvents, and waxes with petroleum distillates. Clean off fuel spills, bird droppings, and sap right away.

Warranty

Warranty Registration

Register the install so the warranty is on file. You'll find the lot number on the label inside the roll core and on your packing slip.
