Premium Vehicle Wrap Film: Product Specifications & Technical Support
Q: What are the standard product sizing details?
A: The professional-grade standard roll measures 60 inch in width by 60 feet in length (1.52m x 18.3m). For convenience, material is also available in pre-cut rolls of 10 feet lengths.
Q: Does the Color PPF feature air-release technology?
A: Yes. The film is engineered with a sophisticated channeled air-release system. This technology actively manages air evacuation during application, significantly reducing the risk of trapped bubbles and facilitating a smoother installation process.
Q: What is the material's stretch and conform-ability?
A: TPU material, which is the raw material of Color PPF, exhibits excellent conform-ability with memory retention. When activated with controlled heat, it can stretch up to 200%, allowing it to form seamlessly over complex curves, recesses, and sharp edges without color distortion or excessive thinning.
Q: Is there a protective layer on the film?
A: Yes. A clear, removable PET surface protection layer is included to safeguard the film's finish from scratches, dirt, and handling marks during transportation. This layer must be removed prior to the installation.
Q: Will this film match my vehicle's original paint color?
A: These films are designed for custom color change and aesthetic enhancement, not for exact paint matching. The color library consists of vibrant, saturated hues. Ordering a physical sample is strongly recommended to evaluate color and finish under real-world lighting conditions.
Q: How fade-resistant is the product?
A: Formulated with high levels of UV inhibitors and color-stable pigments, the film provides superior resistance to fading and environmental degradation. While no material is entirely impervious, this film is designed to maintain its color integrity for years with proper care.
Q: What is the product's warranty and expected lifespan?
A: The film is warranted against manufacturing defects. For further details please visit the Warranty page.
Q: How can I tell if the film is directional?
A: Most metallic, satin, and textured finishes are directional. Always plan and cut panels so that all material on a single vehicle is applied in the same direction for a uniform visual effect.
Q: What surface conditions are required for application?
A: For optimal results and longevity, the substrate must be clean, smooth, stable, and non-porous. Application over rust, body filler, cracked/peeling paint, or existing wraps is not recommended and will compromise adhesion and finish quality. A sound surface is imperative.
Q: What are the critical steps for a successful installation?
A: Key professional techniques include:
1. Impeccable surface preparation using alcohol-based cleaners.
2. Proper panel disassembly where possible.
3. Strategic use of a high-quality slip solution for positioning.
4. Controlled, even heat application for stretching and conforming—never overheating the adhesive.
5. A thorough post-heating process across the entire installed film to ensure proper adhesive cure and vinyl memory set.
Q: How should I maintain and clean the wrapped vehicle?
A: To preserve the finish:
· Wash regularly with a pH-neutral, wax-free automotive shampoo and soft mitts or microfiber cloths.
· Dry completely with clean, soft towels to prevent water spotting.
· For long-term protection and easier cleaning, apply a ceramic coating specifically formulated for PPFs.
· Remove environmental contaminants like bird droppings, tree sap, or bug residue promptly.
Q: Can I use traditional car wax or polish?
A: No. Traditional carnauba waxes, abrasive polishes, or compounds are not compatible and can damage the film's top coat. Use only cleaning and detailing products specifically designed for PPFs.
Q: Is the removal process paint-safe?
A: Yes. The adhesive is engineered for clean removability within the product's rated lifespan when removed correctly using standard professional methods (application of heat and peeling at a low angle), protecting the underlying OEM paint.
Q: How do I obtain product samples?
A: Material samples are available for professionals and customers to evaluate color, texture, and finish. Contact the sales or customer service team to request a sample kit or specific color swatches.
Q: What are the shipping and logistics options?
A: Products ship from South California warehouses. Standard order processing is 24-48 hours. Delivery timelines and freight options vary by destination and can be provided at checkout or upon request.
Q: What is the process for reporting a potential material issue?
A: In the rare event of a suspected material defect, retain the original batch number and contact customer service immediately. Providing photos of the issue, the batch number, and details of the installation environment is essential for a timely evaluation and resolution.
