Warning!!! You get what you pay for if price is the only consideration factored into your shopping for PPF .

This Info Will Help You as a consumer to study and understand the PPF (Paint Protection Film) industry so as to make an apples to apples comparison when shopping for your vehicle's protection. Whether you choose our company or not, you will now be able to make an educated decision which is far superior to shopping on price alone.

Below are several important aspects of a clear bra's look and performance that one must consider. Installation, Patterns, Film, and Warranty are the 4 fundamentals of PPF and each aspect varies greatly from installer to installer. It is not any one of these aspects, like many installers tout, rather the totality of the whole that will ensure your satisfaction. Toughfilm offers a value in quality and service to our distinguished clients that is unmatched by others and you will see why.

INSTALLATION: All clear bra installers are not created equal! The best film and patterns in the world mean nothing without an excellent installer. The procedure is not rocket science but experience and a complete understanding of the film and patterns proves invaluable for a professional install. We are trained and certified with 3M. We use 3M ,Xpel and Avery film,

Although the training and certification sounds good, as in most professions, it takes a back seat to real life experience. We have been professionally dealing with clear bras since 2000 and have protected hundreds of vehicles. Many installers charge very low or break even fees so they can get the experience. You have to ask yourself if you really want to volunteer your vehicle to help them with their learning curve.

PATTERNS: All patterns are not created equal! Several companies create their own libraries of digitized computer cut patterns for each vehicle. Their design philosophies are quite apparent and vary greatly.

FREE PATTERNS: There are a few companies providing Free Patterns to installers as a sales tool for the film they manufacture. You can easily see their priorities in film sales vs. pattern design as most of the kits are poorly fitting. These patterns are designed as quickly as possible because quite frankly they have better things to do, like sell film. Many installers go this route to offer a cheaper price. As the old saying goes, "You get what you pay for" and in this case Free patterns are worth every penny.

D.I.Y PATTERNS Many patterns found on the Internet are meant for the do-it-yourselfer. This is unjust to the educated consumer for two reasons; 1. The patterns usually offer less coverage and come with several relief cuts. These help to aid in the ease of installation but do nothing for the appearance and protection of the vehicle. 2. Using the least amount of film is a priority for these patterns. This means separating a one-piece kit into several spliced pieces so that it can be situated on the film to use less product. This keeps Internet prices as well as some installers costs much lower. It may sound good until you consider that they are sacrificing quality and looks by literally "cutting corners".

BULK FILM : In the old days, a lot of dealers laid a roll of film on the cars and cut the film to size. This is totally unnecessary these days due to the availability of precut kits. Some dealers ,to by pass the cost , will still resort to it. We don’t.

OUR PATTERNS : We manufacture our kits via a D.A.P. software program and a computerized plotter. This means we have the best patterns available real time, on demand . We have to pay a premium for each kit downloaded but the price is well worth it. The fit and coverage is second to none and after searching all other options we are proud to be associated with a company that designs its patterns with the overall appearance and protection in mind. Saving money on download fees, having more pieces to ease installation and less coverage to save on material costs are not viewed as a benefit by us. Providing the best available protection to our clients is. All kits are designed as one piece when ever possible. Looks, Fitments, and Coverage are top priority and all patterns are double test fitted before ever becoming available. We also are able to offer options such as full hoods, bikini cuts, and wrapped edges for certain vehicles. Our team works feverishly to have patterns available as soon as the new models hit the dealership helping Toughfilm do it right (and right away) the first time.

*side note; installers that plot their own kits via computer on sight are much more likely to fix a piece that isn't perfect (e.g. piece of debris under the film) while an installer that orders the kits will more likely take the "lets wing it" route.

FILMS: All films are not created equal! We carry the top 3 film manufactures: 3M, Avery Dennison, and Xpel. Toughfilm stocks 1000s of dollars in extra inventory to cater to our customers needs and provide the best service possible.
