Frequently asked questions
HOW DOES A SUN PROTECTION FILM WORK?
Sun protection films work by blocking heat in two main ways: reflecting solar energy away from the glass and absorbing it within the film itself.
Tinted films primarily absorb solar energy to reduce heat transmission, while mirror films use a metallic coating to reflect solar energy back outside for greater heat rejection.
All 3M and SolarGard films are optically clear and include UV protection in the adhesive, preventing fading of furnishings while maintaining visibility. A scratch-resistant coating ensures long-lasting durability.

HOW TO CLEAN SUN PROTECTION AND SECURITY FILMS?
After 30 days, window films can be cleaned with regular window cleaning agents and a soft, lint-free cloth. A soft-edged rubber squeegee can be used. Avoid using abrasive tools that may scratch or damage the film.
HOW TO WASH A WRAPPED CAR?
Fully wrapping a car ensures protection against paint damage and scratches, but we recommend washing the car whenever it appears dirty. Quickly removing chemicals or other adhesive substances ensures the long-term durability of the film. The best way to wash is at a hand wash station, but other washing methods (pressure, automatic, express, brush) are not prohibited.
However, if you use a pressure washer, we recommend the following:
- Always use clean water and regular car wash chemicals.
- Use a soft, clean cloth, or sponge.
- Ensure that the water pressure is always kept below 14MPa.
- Keep the water temperature below 80 degrees.
- Keep the pressure washer nozzle not less than 30cm away.
- Keep the pressure washer nozzle at a 90-degree angle to the car, not diagonally.
- Wash and rinse immediately after applying chemicals and other dirty substances.
WHY INSTALL TINTED GLASS ON A CAR?
Tinted film provides immediate benefits including blocking up to 99% of harmful UV radiation and reflecting up to 70% of sunlight to keep your vehicle cool and comfortable.
The films prevent interior fading, reduce eye strain from glare, and make long drives more enjoyable. They're especially valuable when traveling with children or pets, as they prevent overheating and ensure comfortable journeys even on hot summer days.
Beyond comfort, tinted films enhance your vehicle's appearance with various darkness levels and color options, allowing for personalization. They also improve safety by holding glass fragments together during impact, reducing injury risk, and provide privacy by hiding valuables from view.
WHY INSTALL STONE PROTECTION FILM ON A CAR?
Protective films prevent the car’s paint from scratching and getting specks on the surface. The original shine and gloss of the paint are preserved under the film, which can be revealed again by removing the film. Covering with protective film is more cost-effective than repainting the entire car.
