FAQ
What happens during the initial inspection of my car?
Upon arrival at our studio, our detailer conducts a thorough inspection of your car, highlighting any defects such as scratches or dents for your awareness.
How do you protect my car's electrical parts during detailing?
Before we begin, we mask all electrical parts to safeguard them during the detailing process.
What is paint correction, and why is it done?
If required, our detailer performs a two-step rubbing process to eliminate swirl marks and minor scratches, ensuring a flawless finish before the PPF installation
How is my car prepared for PPF installation?
Your car undergoes a meticulous washing process to prepare the surface for the Paint Protection Film (PPF) installation.
How long does the PPF installation take?
Our expert team begins the PPF installation process, which typically takes about 6-7 hours to complete.
Can I add a sun control film to my car?
Yes, if requested, we can install the Sun Control Film either the same day or the following day,
though not all customers opt for this service.
Why do you keep my car overnight?
We keep your car overnight for observation to ensure any bubbles are eliminated and any
necessary rectifications are made after the PPF installation.
What does the detailing process include?
The detailing process includes vacuuming, windshield treatment, and the application of Ceramic Coating for added protection.
What is Ceramic Coating, and what does it do?
Ceramic Coating is a protective layer applied to your car’s surfaces, enhancing durability and providing a long-lasting shine.

Your car receives a final waxing with Ceramic Liquid Wax, providing a pristine shine that lasts and protects the surface.
What should I know about adhesive accessories after PPF installation?
Accessories with adhesive properties, like rubber guards and bumper stickers, cannot be
applied immediately to the newly installed PPF. The PPF requires a curing period of at least 7-10 days to dry completely.
Will you be responsible for any damage caused by early application of accessories?
If you choose to apply adhesive accessories before the recommended drying period, Shield Pro will proceed as requested; however, we cannot be held responsible for any potential damage caused to the PPF or the vehicle.

What is TPU, and how does it compare to TPH?
TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane) is a type of material known for its flexibility and durability,
commonly used in paint protection films. TPH (Thermoplastic Polyolefin) is another option that provides good protection but may not offer the same level of flexibility. Generally, TPU is considered superior for PPF due to its self-healing properties and resistance to yellowing.
What is the difference between Ceramic Coating and Graphene Coating?
Ceramic Coating is a liquid polymer that bonds with your vehicle’s paint to create a protective layer, enhancing shine and durability. Graphene Coating is an advanced version, incorporating graphene for superior heat resistance and a stronger bond, providing enhanced protection and
a slicker finish.
What are the warranty terms for my PPF?
Your PPF warranty covers issues like yellowing, minor swirl marks, air bubbles, peeling, cracking, and removal without paint damage for the duration of the warranty you selected (5, 7, 8, 10, or 12 years).
Are there any exclusions in the warranty?
Yes, the warranty does not cover damage to the paint caused by accidents, misuse, or improper maintenance. It applies exclusively to vehicles with OEM paint.
How can I keep track of my warranty?
Please keep your E-warranty in a safe place, as it serves as proof of your product warranty
please reach out to the number mentioned on the website, take an appointment and get that
fixed in any of the authorized Installer/Studios.
What is Paint Protection Film (PPF)?
Paint Protection Film (PPF) is a transparent, durable film applied to a vehicle’s exterior to
protect the paint from scratches, chips, and other environmental damage.
How long does PPF last?
The lifespan of PPF varies based on the warranty selected, with options available for 5, 7, 8, 10, or 12 years.
Can PPF be removed?
Yes, PPF can be removed without damaging the underlying paint, provided the vehicle has OEM paint.
How does PPF protect my car?
PPF acts as a barrier against physical damage, UV rays, and chemical contaminants,
preserving your vehicle’s paint and finish.
What is the self-healing property of PPF?
Self-healing PPF can repair minor scratches and swirl marks when exposed to heat, restoring its original appearance.
Can I wash my car after PPF installation?
Yes, but it’s recommended to wait at least 7 days after installation for optimal curing before washing to ensure the film adheres properly
How should I wash my car with PPF?
Use a gentle hand wash with pH-neutral soap and avoid high-pressure washers that may lift the edges of the film.
Is PPF visible once applied?
No, PPF is designed to be nearly invisible and enhances the appearance of your vehicle while providing protection.
What is the difference between PPF and Ceramic Coating?
PPF is a physical barrier that protects against scratches and impacts, while Ceramic Coating is a liquid polymer that enhances shine and provides a chemical-resistant surface.
How long does Ceramic Coating last?
Ceramic Coating can last several years, depending on the product used and the level of care provided to the vehicle.
Is Ceramic Coating worth it?
Yes, Ceramic Coating provides enhanced protection against dirt, grime, and UV rays, making maintenance easier and prolonging the life of your vehicle’s paint.
Can I apply Ceramic Coating over PPF?
Yes, applying Ceramic Coating over PPF enhances its protective properties and provides an additional layer of shine.
What surfaces can be coated with Ceramic Coating?
Ceramic Coating can be applied to paint, glass, wheels, and even interiors for added protection.
How does Graphene Coating differ from Ceramic Coating?
Graphene Coating incorporates graphene for added strength and durability, offering better
hydrophobic properties and heat resistance compared to traditional Ceramic Coating.
Can I apply Graphene Coating myself?
While some DIY kits are available, professional application is recommended for the best results, ensuring a smooth and even finish
Will PPF protect against bird droppings and tree sap?
Yes, PPF provides a protective barrier against bird droppings, tree sap, and other corrosive
substances that can damage your paint.
What happens if PPF gets damaged?
If PPF is damaged, it can often be replaced or repaired without affecting the underlying paint.
Does PPF require special maintenance?
While PPF requires minimal maintenance, regular washing and avoiding harsh chemicals will help maintain its appearance and longevity.
Can PPF be applied to any vehicle?
Yes, PPF can be applied to most vehicles, regardless of make or model, although custom fitting
may be required for certain shapes.
How does PPF react to extreme temperatures?
PPF is designed to withstand extreme temperatures, but it’s best to avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or extreme heat whenever possible.
What are the benefits of Ceramic Coating over traditional waxing?
Ceramic Coating provides a more durable, long-lasting shine and protection compared to traditional wax, which wears off quickly and requires frequent reapplication.
