Matte Paint Protection Film

It’s best to wait three days after PPF installation before attempting any sort of washing. After that waiting period ends, hand washing is recommended—but it’s not the only option. If you choose to pressure wash, take care around any edges. Excessive pressure can lift the film. The high water pressure and harsh detergents of touchless car washes could cause issues, as well.

Our PPF is sold globally and installed on vehicles in fridgid climates, including Colorado, Calgary and Norway--some of our highest volume regions. With proper care, our paint protection film can withstand winter cold.

It's important to note that PPF should not be removed in the extreme cold as it can separate from the adhesive. It's best to have PPF removed by a professional, indoors at 55 degrees Fahrenheit or warmer.

Given proper care, our paint protection film can handle excessive heat. Sold and installed in some of the hottest areas of the world including Texas, Arizona, and the Middle East—our PPF products continue to protect your vehicle against the elements.

Absolutely. Our professional technicians will ensure the use of a dedicated coating formulated for soft substrates, such as a paint protection film or vinyl wrap. Detail Doctors use DuraSlic and Dr. Beasley’s coatings for Vinyl & PPF coating for added protection and increased hydrophobic properties. Conveniently, our ceramic-coated PPF already has this product infused into the top layer. The added protection makes cleaning maintenance and bug removal feel like magic.

Proper care for LLumar paint protection film can include frequent hand washing, prompt removal of staining hazards such as bird droppings and the use of non-abrasive waxes. We suggest consulting your nearest LLumar dealer, who can provide expert guidance on surface maintenance.

It is not recommended to apply wax or any other coatings to your vehicle prior to installing LLumar paint protection film. Waxes and coatings can interfere with the film’s adhesion to the painted surface.

Detail Doctors technicians will remove any non permanent sealant and debris from your vehicle prior to performing any paint protective services.

Paint protection film may be successfully installed on carbon fiber finishes However, carbon fiber is not considered OEM (original equipment manufacturer) paint, making it ineligible for warranty coverage, if any issues should arise. We suggest contacting a SunTek dealer near you for their recommendation in this specific area of application.

LLumar paint protection film hasn’t been specifically tested for marine applications, prohibiting it from warranty coverage. However, there is growing interest in exploring this opportunity.

SunTek paint protection film is designed to be applied to original painted surfaces. Issues with aftermarket and repaired paint are not covered by our warranty. If you still choose to install paint protection film on a freshly painted vehicle, 30 days is the common waiting period for the new paint to outgas.

SunTek paint protection film features a proprietary top coat that protects the urethane against surface scratches. The majority of surface scratches will self-heal when exposed to a heat source, such as the sun, warm water, heated body panel (with motor running), etc.
