How long does front end PPF installation take?

Front end PPF takes 3-4 hours for partial coverage (bumper, partial hood, mirrors) and 5-8 hours for full front coverage (adding full hood, full fenders, and headlights). We recommend dropping off your vehicle in the morning for same-day pickup.

Can you apply PPF over existing paint chips?

Yes, we can apply PPF over minor chips, but they may remain visible under the film. For the best results, we recommend a touch-up paint repair before PPF application. This ensures the film sits flat and the protected surface looks flawless.

How do I care for my new PPF?

Wait 7 days after installation before washing to allow full adhesion. After that, hand wash or use touchless car washes only—avoid brush washes. Use pH-neutral soap and avoid waxes or sealants that contain petroleum distillates. We provide detailed care instructions at pickup.
