Frequently Asked Questions
How long does it take to install film on my car?

Is automotive window film installed on the inside or the outside of the glass?

No. Window film will not completely eliminate fading from occurring. Depending on the type of window film that is applied, window film can reduce fading by up to 70%. It’s important to note there are multiple causes for fading – UV rays, solar heat and visible light and window film can combat all of these threats.
