How should I maintain my ceramic-coated or wrapped car?
Hand washing is best. Use pH-neutral soaps, avoid harsh chemicals, and skip automated car washes with brushes. Microfiber towels are recommended for drying.
Will window tint, PPF, or wraps interfere with my vehicle’s electronics or defroster lines?
No — our films and wraps are safe for modern vehicle electronics, GPS, cell signals, and rear window defrosters.
Can you apply PPF or ceramic coating to new cars?
Absolutely — in fact, it’s ideal to protect your vehicle while the paint is still flawless.
What is ceramic coating and what are its benefits?
Ceramic coating is a liquid polymer that bonds to your vehicle’s paint, creating a durable, glossy, and hydrophobic layer of protection against UV rays, contaminants, and minor scratches. It keeps your car looking new longer and reduces maintenance.
Will a vinyl wrap damage my paint?
No, it actually protects your original paint and can be removed without damage when professionally installed and removed.
How long does a vinyl wrap last?
A high-quality vinyl wrap can last between 5 to 7 years with proper care.
What’s the difference between Paint Protection Film (PPF) and a vinyl wrap?
PPF is a clear, thick film designed for protection against rock chips, scratches, and contaminants. Vinyl wraps are thinner and typically used to change the color or style of your vehicle. Both offer protection, but PPF is specifically engineered for paint preservation.
How long should I wait before rolling down my windows after tinting?
We recommend waiting at least 3–5 days to allow the tint film to fully cure.
How long does it take to tint my car windows?
Most full-vehicle window tint jobs take about 1.5 to 3 hours, depending on the number of windows and film type.
Is window tint legal in Florida?
Yes, but Florida law has specific limits based on the type of vehicle and window location. Our team will guide you on choosing a tint that keeps you within legal guidelines while delivering the look and protection you want.
