PAINT PROTECTION FILMS
How much does it cost to have Suntek Ultra Paint Protection Film installed?
The cost depends on how much area you wish to cover. There are many makes and models of cars and trucks. On personal vehicles Suntek Ultra Paint Protection Film is most often used to cover the front portion of the hood. The film is also commonly applied to painted bumpers, mirror backs, truck bed rails, door handle inserts, door edges, rocker panels, mirror backs, wheel openings, etc. Any painted surface of a vehicle that is susceptible to rock chips can be covered with paint protection film. Since the amount of film required and difficulty of application will vary by vehicle model, call Auto Image for recommendations and price quotes.
How is Suntek Paint Protection Film maintained?
Once applied, refrain from washing the vehicle in an automated car wash for 48 hours. Washing after that time should present no problem. Follow the care instructions on the warranty card.
What is the best way to clean Suntek Film?
Hand washing with soap and water is recommended. We do not recommend using any harsh chemicals to remove any bird dropping residue. Do not use a pressure washer on the film. It can damage or lift the film off the painted surface.
Can I use wax over Suntek Paint Protection Film?
Yes. Every time you wax your paint, wax your film. When waxing the vehicle, use spray wax on the paint protection film instead of liquid wax to prevent wax build up along the films edge. This can easily be removed with a dry soft cloth. Do not use pigmented or abrasive cleaners, waxes, polishes or rubbing compounds on the film.
What is the warranty on the Suntek Paint Protection film?
The film has a 10 year warranty against bubbling, peeling, and cracking and a 2 year warranty on labor.
Can Suntek Paint Protection Film be applied over a vehicle that has been repainted or touched up?
It is recommended that any repainted surfaces on your vehicle be professionally painted and fully cured before applying paint protection film. If you have touched up scratches or chips with a tube of "touch-up" paint and then apply paint protection film over it, the film will protect that area until it is removed. If the car was properly prepped and painted, you should have no problem. In some cases if the vehicle was not properly painted, the clear bra may pull the paint off during the installation process in which case, we are not responsible. And there is no warranty on repainted cars.
