PPF, also known as clear bra, is primarily made from a high-grade thermoplastic urethane or TPU. It is a clear transparent, durable film applied to a vehicle’s paint surface to protect it against scratches, chips, stains, and other environmental damage. The top layer of TPU film features “self-healing” properties through elastomeric polymers, reverting to its pristine, pre-incident condition, even when scratched.

PPF acts as a barrier between your vehicle’s paint and external elements like rocks, road debris, UV rays, and chemicals, helping to maintain the vehicle's appearance and resale value. For quality paint protection film in Renton, WA, call our team today!

The primary base material for window tint film is polyester made from polyethylene terephthalate or PET. There are many types of window tints to choose from. Along with a layer of adhesive, films can be layered with dyes, metals, or ceramic particles. The combination of these materials determines the film's properties, such as heat rejection, UV protection, and appearance.

Film percentages refers to visible light transmission. The shade of window film is measured by the percentage of light that can pass through. This is called visible light transmission, or VLT. The lower the VLT is, the darker your windows will be.

When choosing the shade of your tints, following the law is important. Different states have different regulations about how dark your car windows can be. In Washington State, the law requires that your front windshield have 70% VLT and 24% VLT for front side windows. For passenger vehicles, rear side windows and rear windshields should have 24% VLT. However, you can tint your rear side windows and rear windshield as dark as you desire on multipurpose vehicles. For quality car tinting Renton, WA loves, contact POLYWERK LLC today.

The film is applied to the inside of your car window. Our installation process begins by thoroughly cleaning the glass to remove dust, smudges, and dirt. We’ll then lay the film on the outside of the car’s window and cut out a piece of tint. The film is then trimmed to precisely fit your car’s unique shape. Our specialists will then remove the release liner and apply an application solution to the film’s adhesive, as well as to your window. The film is then placed on the inside of the window.

The black dots (dot-matrix) or patterns at the edge of some windows are made from a Teflon material that is applied at the factory. Their purpose is to hide trim lines and edges on different vehicles. This Teflon material, although purely cosmetic, can make it difficult to apply window tint which is designed to go directly onto the glass. There are situations where it might prevent window tint from sticking, such as if the dot patterns or lines are too thick at the top of the window. Depending on the thickness of the material, it can cause a lighter or different look in the area where the dots and lines lie. However, this poses no risk of peeling.

If windows are rolled down too soon after the installation, the tint can peel off. If this happens, we can redo windows at a low cost or for free depending on the circumstances. To avoid this, we recommend keeping your windows up for at least 2 to 4 days.

Cure time refers to the drying time of the leftover application solution after an installation. While we try to get all of the solutions off after every application, it is nearly impossible. Therefore, the cure time depends on the film type and drying time of the remaining solution. While this is happening, it is still performing to its full capabilities, but you might see bubbles, haze, streaks, or other visual defects while drying. Don’t be alarmed! This is completely normal while the remaining solution evaporates. Additionally, the cure time can vary given different circumstances. If it’s a hot summer day, the film might be cured in a few days. On the other hand, if it’s a chilly winter day, the curing process might last a few weeks. During the cure time, it’s normal to see bubbles, streaks, and other visual defects.

Once windows are tinted, wait a week before cleaning them. Cleaning them too soon can mess up the tint before it fully dries. After they are tinted, your windows will have been wiped down but will likely need proper cleaning with a soft paper towel and ammonia-free cleaner after seven days. Ammonia can break down the adhesive used in films, causing them to peel and making them brittle. We recommend using ammonia-free, alcohol-based cleaning products or simply just using water.
