WHAT IS A CLEARBRA OR PAINT PROTECTION FILM?

 A PPF  or Paint Protection Film   is an 8 mil. thick Urethane  film that is then precision cut on a plotter for a custom fit  and  professionally  applied to the most damage prone  areas of a vehicle.  preventing costly damage from rock, road debris, and bug acid ,  preserving the value and aesthetic qualities of the painted finish.

WHERE DID IT COME FROM:

The film was originally developed for the military in Desert Storm to prevent damage to helicopter rotor blades as the dirt and dust would dull them. It eventually moved into the racing industry to protect the sponsor clad paint jobs that used to require a repaint after every race. Now it is available to our clients to protect their daily drivers, RV's, exotics, motorcycles and race cars.

WHAT CAN YOU COVER:

The sky is the limit as we can cover just about every square inch of the vehicle if desired. Our typical precut kits are available for the most susceptible areas of damage; Hoods, fenders, mirrors, bumpers, headlamps, wheel wells, door sills, rocker panel, etc. .

CAN IT BE SAFELY PEELED OFF ?

Yes the film can be removed at any time with no damage to the paint. The covered portion of the vehicle will remain pristine. The rest of the vehicle will depend on how it was maintained and as long as it had been regularly washed and waxed there would be no indication that a film was ever installed.

IS IT TOTALLY INVISIBLE ON THE PAINT?

A slight line is visible from certain angles where the film ends on the hood and fenders(unless a whole hood wrap is desired). The headlamp and bumper kits are nearly undetectable as they follow body lines. For those apposed to the line the 2 options remain; chipped and pitted paint or a very apparent black bra.

WHAT IS THE LIFE SPAN?

The manufacturers warrants the films for up to 7 years ,real life tests have shown an average lifespan of up to 10 years with no loss of appearance or protective function.

HOW DO I MAINTAIN THE FILM?

Simply wash and when dry apply a surface polymer sealant and you are done! Ask for details!!!

HOW LONG DOES AN INSTALLATION TAKE?

Typical installations range from 2.5 - 5 hours for most cars.

I FOUND A GUY WHO WILL DO IT $50 CHEAPER:

We will not price match. The fact is that Toughfilm uses premium pattern designs, film coverage, films and install techniques. We also provide a level of customer service and warranty that are unparalleled by our competition. While there are time and monetary costs associated with those facts we are proud to provide the highest level of installation excellence to our clients. We offer a premium service at a very fair price and are not affected by what others charge.

WHAT IF MY CAR HAD A  REPAINT AND TOUCHED UP?

The film can be installed  over repaints but most body shops will recommend about 30 days for the paint to fully cure. The paint job is only as good as the prep job and because there is no way to be sure of the prep job, Toughfilm will not be held liable for any paint damage ( paint peel or pulling ) associated with a repainted vehicle.

 ARE YOU AWARE THAT YOUR INSURANCE COMPANY WILL PAY TO HAVE YOUR CLEARBRA REPLACED IF YOUR CAR WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT ?

DO I NEED TO WASH THE CAR BEFORE MY APPOINTMENT?

Although we do a thorough 3 step cleaning process before installation we appreciate a vehicle that is free from excess dirt and road grime.

CAN A NOVICE INSTALL THIS FILM?

It is of course possible to do a self install but we highly  discourage it. The film is expensive to begin with and gets even more expensive when you have to replace a blotched piece. If you have never installed one of these before Do not purchase the kit on ebay expecting a perfect installation watching an instructional DVD . Proper installation is an art and requires a great deal of understanding and experience with the film. If however you want to buy a kit and try it , we will be glad to sell it to you all day!
