ExoShield GT3+ is applied using the same skills and tools needed to apply window tint. Anyone with a clean operation and sufficient tinting experience can easily install ExoShield.
While ExoShield is considerably thicker than traditional window tint, we've engineered ExoShield to be shrinkable just like window tint. The only modification you'll need to make to your installation process is to use more heat when shrinking to compensate for ExoShield's greater thickness.

PPF can be applied to most surfaces, EXCEPT glass surfaces. The TPU used in PPF is not optically clear enough to safely be used on a windshield. All painted surfaces, carbon fibre parts, headlights, plastics & interiors can theoretically be protected with PPF.
Yes, you can! doing so can even enhance the film's appearance. However, it's important to use products specifically designed for PPF use. Choose a non-abrasive wax or polish, and avoid products that contain harsh chemicals or abrasive compounds, as these can potentially damage the film. Certain PPFs haveand waxing or polishing can help maintain their appearance. Always follow the manufacturer's recommendations.
Typically, regular washing and detailing are sufficient to maintain the appearance of your PPF. That being said, harsh chemicals or abrasive materials should be avoided to prevent damage to the film. Most PPF manufacturers (ExoShield included!) will also caution against pressure washing the film, as this can cause edges to lift. Always discuss a maintenance plan with your installer before you take the vehicle home to ensure youâre getting the most out of your investment!
Paint protection film is designed to protect the paint on your vehicle, not damage it. When properly installed and maintained, PPF forms durable layer that shields the paint However, improper installation or low-quality PPF may potentially cause issues such as adhesive residue, bubbling, or discoloration over time. It's essential to choose a reputable installer and high-quality PPF product to minimize the risk of any adverse effects on your vehicle's paint.
The beauty of PPF film is that if one piece has a defect or gets particularly scratched, you could, in theory, just replace that single panel at any time.
A premium PPF reliably protects a vehicle's paint from scratches, rock chips, road debris, insect stains, and UV damage. When installed correctly, PPF creates a durable layer, serving as a barrier between the paint and environmental elements, thereby preserving the paint's integrity over time.
Yes, you can ceramic coat paint protection film to provide additional protection and enhance its performance. Ceramic coating creates a transparent, protective layer on top of the PPF, which helps repel water, dirt, and other contaminants, making cleaning and maintaining the film easier.
To remove paint protection film, gently heat the film with a heat gun or steamer to soften the adhesive. Starting from one corner, slowly peel off the PPF at a shallow angle, applying additional heat as needed. Work your way across the vehicle, removing the film in sections. Use a residue remover to dissolve any leftover adhesive, then clean the surface with automotive soap and water. Finally, polish and wax the surface to restore shine and protection. If unsure, consider seeking professional assistance to avoid damaging the paint.
This depends on the specific brand & product you purchase, but most brands will claim that their product will last for many years. This means that the film should stay securely attached to the vehicle and maintain impact performance throughout the warranty period, such as 12 years with MACH 12. However, surface properties like hydrophobicity will naturally wear out over time, lasting anywhere from a few months to over a year with premium films. While the film's self-healing property is long-lasting, its effectiveness may be limited over time.
