Paint Protection Film Application General T & C's

ABOUT PAINT PROTECTION FILM
Paint protection film is an 8mm (mm’s may vary) film designed to protect your vehicle’s paint from paint chip, scratches and swirl mark. It is applied to the exterior of your vehicle paint. The film has a warranty for 10 years from yellowing, staining, cracking, blistering and delamination. There is no warranty if film or protected panel gets damage in an accident or from debris.

DRYING TIME
Your new paint protection film will take 3-4 weeks to fully cure depending on weather conditions. Do not wash your vehicle for 5 days. Vehicles should be returned for inspection within 2-4 weeks.

CONDITION OF VEHICLE FOR PAINT PROTECTION FILM INSTALLATION
The vehicle must not have any paint protection coatings on it such as ceramic coatings before application has started. These can affect the effectiveness of the adhesion and may cause lifting, bubbles and other issues. Please be aware that the design of the PPF is for OEM factory paint only.

PAINT
Paint may lift on repainted panel/OEM paint if improperly prepped and painted. By authorizing Prestige Shields Ltd to proceed with the install, the client herby acknowledges the risk, waives any claims against Prestige Shields Ltd and agrees that Prestige Shields Ltd will not be liable in the event that damage does occur during the installation process.

PAINT CHIP
PPF is to prevent your vehicle from future paint chip damage. PPF installation over paint chips will look like contamination after the install due to the unevenness of the paint surface. We do not recommend touch up on small paint chips due to the aesthetics of the install thereafter.

INSTALLATION
All PPF kits are computer cut using cutting software. Pre-cut kits involve stopping short of edges, edges around badges, washers, and other parts. The customer understands that PPF is a sacrificial layer of your car, not a completely invisible or matte layer. Customers may choose to have custom design fit or bulk install for additional fee.

EXPOSED EDGES AND SEAMS
Although we strive to wrap all edges, some cannot be wrapped. Debris build up over time on exposed edges/seams will be more visible on white/light colored vehicles. Partial installs will have more noticeable debris due to exposed edges. We recommend ceramic coating your vehicle to reduce debris build up. There is no warranty or reapplication of film due to debris build up.

HEADLIGHTS
Headlights are not recommended for PPF installation due to HID feature and exterior coating. By authorizing Prestige Shields Ltd to proceed with headlight film installation, the customer hereby acknowledges the risk, waives any claims against Prestige Shields Ltd, and agrees that Prestige Shields Ltd will not be liable.

FILM, BADGE, & DECAL REMOVAL
Film, badge, and decal removal may cause the paint, glass, and defroster to be damaged. By authorizing Prestige Shields Ltd to proceed with removal, the client hereby acknowledges the risk, waives any claims against Prestige Shields Ltd, and agrees that Prestige Shields Ltd, will not be liable in the event that damage does occur during the removal process.

IMPERFECTIONS
Though we strive for perfection in our installations, due to the nature of the product, some degree of dust contamination and or minor imperfections are present in every PPF application, also pre-existing flaws, scratches, and rock chips on the paint are often much more noticeable after the PPF is installed. Paint Protective Film will have minor imperfections like orange peel. Used and older vehicle will have more imperfections due to its age.
