How is ExoShield Windshield Protection Film Installed?

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 learn to install ExoShield. While ExoShield is considerably thicker than traditional window tint, we've engineered ExoShield to be shrinkable just like tint. The main modification you'll need to make to your installation process is to use more heat when shrinking to compensate for ExoShield's added thickness.

How Do I Remove ExoShield Windshield Protection Film?

We recommend talking to your installer before attempting the removal process yourself. To remove windshield protection film, gently heat the film with a heat gun or steamer to soften the adhesive. Starting from one corner, slowly peel off the film at a shallow angle, applying additional heat as needed. Work your way across the windshield, removing the film in sections as needed. Use a residue remover like diluted isopropyl alcohol 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.
