What is paint protection film?
It is a revolutionary way of protecting your vehicle from rock chips, road debris and other road hazards that could do permanent damage to your new vehicle. The film is an optically clear, urethane film that is about as thick as a credit card. The film is applied directly to the paint surface, producing a nearly impenetrable barrier between you and the road ahead.

| Frequently Asked Questions: |
| |
| What does the film do? |
The film protects the high-impact, front-facing areas (Hood, bumper and side mirrors) from rock damage, bug impact and loose road debris that one encounters while driving, especially on the freeway. The ultimate goal is to preserve your factory paint and thereby maintaining the original condition of your vehicle |
|
|
| |
| Where on the car is the paint protection film applied? |
Each kit is engineered to cover the most vulnerable parts of your vehicle. This would include the front bumper, headlights, the hood and leading edges of the fender, and the front facing surfaces of the side mirrors. 95% of all rock chips are going to appear on the front facing portions of the vehicle. A secondary concern would be the area behind the wheels, the rocker panel and less noticeable areas like the doorsills.

|
|
| |
| Will the film change the color of my car? |
The film is optically clear and will not alter the color of the paint. The film texture is similar to the factory finish. It is almost undetectable except where the film stops. The precut patterns are designed to come up to about 1/8th of an inch from the edge of each covered surface. |
|
|
| |
| Will the film harm my car’s paint? |
No. The film is designed to allow the paint to ‘breath’ for natural aging and is treated with ultra violet rat inhibitors that protect the longevity of the film. The adhesive that bonds the film to the paint is extremely tough, but it will not scratch or harm the paint. If you wish to remove the film, you can without any damage. |
|
|
|
| Can the film be removed once it has been applied? |
Despite the film’s hi-tech adhesive designed to adhere for years, it can be removed safely after several years without any effects to the car’s finish. (Note: The same film cannot be reapplied after it is removed). |
|
|
| |
| How long will the paint protection film last? |
It is guaranteed not to yellow, crack or peel for 5 years. However, it has been proven to last significantly longer. In simulated laboratory tests, the film lasted up to 14 years before showing signs of breakdown. Although the film will not look like new forever, your vehicles' paint can! |
|
|
|
| |
| Does the film come with a warranty? |
3M warrants that Scotchgard™ Paint Protection Film, installed after January 1, 2005, will be free of defects in materials and manufacture — including yellowing, bubbling, or cracking — for five (5) years from date of purchase. This warranty does not apply to damage caused by misuse, accident, misapplication, or ordinary wear, nor does it apply to dents caused by physical impact of rocks or road debris. |

|
| |
| What are the benefits of having the film installed? |
Up until recently, there hasn’t been a way to effectively prevent rock chips from damaging the paint. Vinyl bras worked but they chaffed the paint and looked rather obtrusive. Now, the technology is available that adds so much more value to the vehicle. 3M Paint Protection Film will last almost indefinitely and will be protecting the vehicle 24 hours a day 7 days a week-UNNOTICED!. And, one of the best features of the film is it does not require any special maintenance. |
|
|
| |
| What makes the film so effective at protecting paint? |
It is constructed of tough, urethane, which is covered by a unique clear coat layer. Unlike traditional (liquid) clear coat products sold through dealerships as new car add-ons, Transhine’s Auto Armor is a structurally dense film, 8 millimeters thick. Its primary function is to absorb impacts. The film deflects debris, does not chip, pit or dull in shine as unprotected car paint will over time. |
|
|
| |
| What about headlight protection? |
The light protection covers are made of the same film as the paint protection, but they are 5 times thicker. The headlight protection covers do not diminish the lights output, and do not alter your vehicles appearance. If you are a frequent freeway driver, these are a necessity. Over time, headlights get pitted and loose their clarity. Eventually, lights can get so bad they need to be replaced. Additionally, the film is thick enough to deflect rocks and other highway debris that might otherwise break or crack the light. |
|
|
| |
| After several year, won't the Transhine Auto Armor film look chipped and pitted? |
Absolutely not! This is a key difference between your paint and the urethane film. Today, factory paint jobs are more brittle and softer, which means every time they get hit by road debris, it leaves a chip or rock pit. The urethane film absorbs impact without damage or pitting the films surface. The film maintains its shine and surface clarity even years after taking a beating. |
