How We Install Paint Protection Film
Vehicle Inspection
We inspect the paintwork, panel condition and any previous repairs before recommending the most suitable coverage.
Surface Preparation
The vehicle is carefully washed and decontaminated so the film can bond to a clean, properly prepared surface.
Digital Pattern Selection
We select a STEK or SunTek digital pattern for your vehicle. The film is cut before installation to reduce unnecessary cutting near the paint.
PPF Installation
The film is installed by hand and aligned around panel curves, openings and edges. Accessible edges are wrapped where panel design allows.
Final Inspection
We inspect the film alignment, edges and finish before providing washing and maintenance instructions.

This allows you to safely upgrade or replace your PPF whenever needed.
After your PPF installation, it’s best to avoid washing your car for the first 48 hours, giving the film time to adhere completely.
