How to Video:
Unfortunately, PPF will not adhere to ceramic coating. We do not recommend installing if you already have a ceramic coat.
We highly recommend waiting at least 24 hours before driving. This ensures your PPF has had time to adhere fully so water and debris can’t get under the surface.
PPF is best installed in temperatures between 65 and 75 degrees F. If it’s too cold, it may feel stiffer. If it’s too hot, it’ll stretch more.
If it’s a small finger, the easiest way to push it down is to use your tack solution and then push it down with your squeegee. If it persists, wrap your squeegee with microfiber and squeegee it down. The microfiber will absorb the water, making it tackier.
If it is larger than a nickel, you want to lift the PPF and squeegee it down again. If it’s smaller than a nickel, it should dissipate and evaporate within time.
We recommend waiting at least 24 hours but 48 hours to be safe.
Yes, everything you need is provided in the kits. All you’ll need to add is water to the slip and tack bottles.
No, our kits come pre-cut to make installation easier for you!
You can, but please be extremely careful. You want to be careful around all the edges. If you directly point the spray gun near the edge, it may remove the film. Don’t directly spray on the edges, and you’ll be fine.
PPF is easier to adjust since it is a wet install compared to vinyl which is a dry install. If you do make a mistake, reach out to us, and we can send you a replacement at cost.
Our film is rated for 10 years.
Absolutely. There are many ceramic coatings that are specifically for PPF which will make the car even easier to keep clean!
The hardest part is getting the two pieces to line up nicely. Don’t settle for having a sliver of a gap on your lights.
On my first light, I had a sliver of a gap between the two pieces of film. I thought ‘good enough’. On the other side I nailed it, and there’s no gap.
I tried to go back to the first side and I think it started to stretch a little, so I stopped. I feel like the PPF might be a touch long for the piece that’s adjacent to the side reflector.
Take your time, and use plenty of slip.
Finished product looks great, and the tint is very subtle.
I love the look and the install was super easy. I would have given it 5 stars but am curious why it didn’t come with a strip for the brake lights under the tail lights. I think they look weird now and may try to cut the extra tail light pieces to make something work.
I just installed this yesterday on my car and could not be happier. The pieces were precision cut and fit flawlessly and the install was a breeze (even for a novice like me). Highly recommend this if you are interested in smoked out taillights.
Product looks good, but getting the edges to match up is difficult. Would almost be easier if the big section was 1 piece instead of 2.
So easy to put on. Once you get the hang of tesbros PPF it’s a simple process
