COMMON QUESTIONS
Paint Protection Film
Light scratches are fine, but chips or deep defects should be corrected first for a clean install.
Just regular washing. Avoid harsh chemicals and use proper wash mitts to preserve clarity.
With quality film like STEK, and proper care, PPF lasts up to 10 years.
Ceramic Coating
It’s a liquid layer that bonds to your car’s paint, creating a tough, glossy shield that repels water, dirt, and UV rays.
We use System X coatings which include a regular 2 year or 6 year coating option.
Prep (washing, cleaning, polishing): 4–8 hours
Coating application & curing: 12–24 hours
Final inspection/drying: up to another day
Color PPF
A colored paint protection film that changes your car’s look and protects the paint from chips, scratches, and fading. All in one layer.
High-quality Color PPF lasts 5–10 years, depending on the color and care. It keeps its gloss and protection much longer than vinyl wraps.
Wait about a week after installation, then wash it like normal. Avoid harsh chemicals or brushes. Use a gentle wash for best results.
Matte PPF
It’s a clear or satin film that gives your car a matte finish while protecting the paint from chips, scratches, and stains. You get the look and the protection.
Matte PPF typically lasts 5–10 years with proper care. It’s tougher and longer-lasting than vinyl wraps while keeping that smooth, non-gloss look.
Wash regularly with a pH-neutral soap. Avoid wax or polish (they’ll add shine). Use a matte-specific detail spray to keep it clean and even-looking.
Window Tint
Typically you should wait 2-5 days to allow the film to fully adhere before rolling the windows.
Carbon film offers privacy and UV protection; ceramic offers higher heat and infrared rejection, alongside the privacy.
High quality STEK films can last up to 10 years with proper care, keeping their color, clarity, and performance over time.
