Paint Protection Film (PPF)

How thick is your PPF?

Our in-house film is 8 mil thick - the same as top-tier brands. We also offer an optional 10 mil film for extra protection.

What areas can I protect with PPF?

We offer Partial Front, Full Front, Full Body, and custom add-on packages for specific panels like headlights, rocker panels, and more.

Will it peel, yellow, or fade over time?

No - our film is engineered for long-term durability and clarity, with a 12-year warranty against manufacturer defects.

Can PPF be removed?

Yes. It can be safely removed without damaging your vehicle's paint.

Does PPF protect against scratches?

It helps prevent paint chips, swirl marks, and light abrasions, but it's not bulletproof. It's a sacrificial layer meant to take the hit instead of your paint.

Ceramic Coating

What exactly is ceramic coating?

It's a liquid polymer that bonds to your car's paint to create a durable, hydrophobic surface that repels water, dirt, and contaminants.

How long does it last?

Our professional-grade coatings last 2–5+ years depending on your package and maintenance habits.

Do I still need to wash my car?

Yes - but it'll stay cleaner longer and washing will be way easier. Most dirt rinses right off.

Does ceramic coating protect against scratches?

It adds a level of hardness but won't make your vehicle scratch-proof. It does help prevent light swirl marks.

Can I apply ceramic coating over PPF?

Yes - it actually enhances the protection and makes the film easier to clean.

Window Tint

Is window tint legal in Arizona?

Arizona's tint law sets limits that vary by window - for example, non-reflective tint is allowed on the top five inches of the windshield, above the AS-1 line. The right shade for your vehicle and goals is confirmed during your consultation, and our Arizona window tint law guide covers the full statute.

Will tint make it harder to see at night?

We'll guide you to the right shade for your needs. Many clients choose lighter shades for front windows to preserve night visibility.

How long does tint last?

Our high-quality films are built to last for years without fading, peeling, or bubbling - and they come with a lifetime warranty.

Can I roll my windows down after getting tint?

We recommend waiting 2–3 days after install to allow the film to cure.

Does tint go inside or outside the glass?

All tint is applied to the inside of the window for optimal protection and longevity.

Windshield Tint & Protection

Do you tint windshields?

Yes - from visor strips across the top to optically clear UV-blocking film. Every vehicle and setup is different, so tell us what you're after and we'll walk you through the options for your vehicle.

Does windshield tint actually help with heat?

Yes - the windshield is the largest piece of glass on your vehicle. Ceramic film blocks up to 60% of solar heat and 99% of UV rays, which makes a real difference in cabin comfort.

Will it affect visibility or night driving?

No - clear ceramic film is optically clear and professionally installed for distortion-free driving.

Is it compatible with sensors and cameras?

Our ceramic film is signal-safe: it doesn't interfere with GPS, cell signal, or radio. For vehicles with windshield-mounted sensors or cameras, we confirm fit for your specific vehicle at quote time.

How long does windshield film last?

Our ceramic films are built to last for years without fading, peeling, or bubbling - and they come with a lifetime warranty.

Wraps

What's the difference between a wrap and PPF?

Wraps are primarily for changing your vehicle's appearance with colors, textures, or graphics. PPF is a clear, protective film designed to guard against rock chips, scratches, and road debris. Both can be used together for style and protection.

Can wraps damage my paint?

No - when professionally installed and removed, wraps won't damage factory paint. In fact, they help protect your original paint from UV rays and minor abrasions while installed.
