Questions installers ask us.

With slip solution under it, the film floats, so you can slide and reposition it while you line up the panel. Grab builds as you squeegee the solution out, and full bond develops over the following days as the last of the moisture leaves. A tack solution on edges and recesses helps them set early. The adhesive is engineered to be safe on factory paint, so a correctly cured install comes off cleanly at end of life.

Yes. The polyurethane is built for stretch, and G-SPECIAL in particular is tuned for easy handling on high-volume work. Use gentle heat to relax the film, then lay it down rather than pulling it into shape. Film that’s stretched hard into a recess wants to return to its original size, and that tension is what lifts edges later. Where a shape needs more than the film comfortably gives, a relief cut or an inlay is the better answer.

Almost always one of four things: contamination on the paint edge (wax, polish oils, dust), tension left in overstretched film, too little wrap around the panel edge, or water and chemicals hitting the edge before the adhesive has cured. Decontaminate edges with an alcohol wipe, wrap where the panel allows, post-heat edges and recesses once the film is down, and tell the customer to keep pressure washers away from edges for the first week.

A gentle hand wash is fine after a couple of days. Hold off on pressure washing near edges and on automatic car washes for at least a week while the adhesive finishes curing. Small moisture pockets or haze in the first days are normal and clear as the film dries out, faster in warm weather.

You can, though our clear and matte films already carry a nano-ceramic top coat, so many customers won’t need one. If you do coat, wait until the film has fully cured, use a coating that its maker approves for paint protection film, and on matte and satin films use a matte-specific product. A gloss coating will change the finish. Our guide to PPF and ceramic coatings covers when a coating is worth it.

Yes. The top coat recovers from light swirls and scuffs when it’s warmed. Warm water, a hot day in the sun, or a heat gun on a low setting will all do it. Each film’s page lists the temperature it starts recovering from. Self-healing fixes marks in the top coat; it won’t repair a cut or a gouge through the film.

GSUIT clear films use aliphatic TPU and a top coat with UV-blocking, anti-yellowing chemistry, both chosen to keep the film clear under Australian sun. How long that holds depends on exposure and care, which is why warranty terms matter. See the warranty page.

No. G-MATTE and G-SATIN change the sheen, not the colour: the paint reads the same hue with a flat or satin finish. G-BLACK MATTE is the exception. It’s a colour change to stealth black as well as protection. More in our guide to choosing a finish.

Keep rolls in their box, stored flat or hanging from the core, somewhere cool, dry and out of direct sun. Don’t stand a roll on its end or stack heavy items on it, as that can mark the film. Rotate stock so older rolls get used first, and let a roll reach room temperature before you install from it.
