Paint Protection Film Stockton, CA

One of the best ways to maintain your vehicle’s look today is to invest in paint protection films. It’s an increasingly popular choice because this one investment does an excellent job of creating a pristine look that requires minimal maintenance.
 
Paint protection films are transparent, thermoplastic urethane films that are applied to the painted surfaces of a vehicle. This product was initially developed to protect helicopter blades, but it has evolved to adapt to automotive applications.
 
Once our technicians complete their work, your vehicle’s paint is shielded from damage caused by road debris, bird droppings, and the ultraviolet spectrum.
 
How Does Paint Protection Film Work?
This product creates a sacrificial layer over your vehicle’s paint that absorbs impacts. By doing so, it prevents chips or scratches from reaching the actual exterior.
 
Most paint protection films are about 6-10mm thick, with a self-healing top layer that repairs minor swirls or scratches when exposed to heat. You don’t need any tools to get this result because the sun’s energy will engage this feature on most vehicles.
 
At Dark Side Tint, we can talk about what type of paint protection film will work best with your vehicle.

• Glossy is the most common choice, offering a high-gloss finish to enhance your vehicle’s natural shine. This investment is ideal for those who love a showroom-quality look.
• Matte provides a satin finish, which works well for those wanting more of a sophisticated look when driving throughout San Joaquin County.
• Colored paint protection films add tinting, allowing you to change the vehicle’s exterior look without repainting it. This solution is perfect for a customized appearance.

 
Paint protection films come in bulk rolls or pre-cut kits. Each choice has specific pros and cons to consider, which our representatives will be happy to review with you if you’re interested in this service.
 
How to Maintain Your New Paint Protection Film
Once installed, your paint protection film care is straightforward and simplified. These tips can help to protect its expected lifespan.
 
First, it helps to wash your vehicle regularly with a mild soap rated for the film. You’ll need to avoid abrasive brushes or harsh chemicals as they can damage the product.
 
Secondly, you can stop waxing your vehicle after investing in paint protection films. Some of them leave a residue behind that diminishes the clarity, and a few can even damage it. If you want to polish, look for an item that comes specially formulated for the installation.
 
It helps to be mindful of the film’s edges after installation. As time passes, they can slightly lift, which creates peeling risks when picked at. This issue is usually easy to repair, and it shouldn’t happen until you’ve ventured deep into the product’s lifespan.
 
Spot cleaning is helpful for specific items with a safe cleaner. If you notice swirls or minor scratches that aren’t healing, you can use a heat gun to initiate this process.
 
For high-end vehicles, paint protection film is a service that makes sense. If you commute daily, this investment delivers peace of mind. Either way, our technicians are standing by to help you achieve your goals!
