What is a vehicle wrap?

A vehicle wrap is a high-quality vinyl film applied over your car’s original paint. It allows you to change the colour or finish of your vehicle, add branding or graphics, and even protect the paint underneath.

How long does a car wrap last?

With proper care, a professionally installed wrap can last 5 to 7 years. Longevity depends on factors like climate, washing habits, and exposure to sun and harsh elements.

Will a wrap damage my paint?

No — vinyl wraps are safe for factory paint and can actually protect it. In fact, wraps can help preserve the condition of your original paint by shielding it from UV rays, chips, and minor scratches.

How do I care for a wrapped vehicle?

We recommend hand washing only, using a soft cloth and mild, non-abrasive soap. Avoid pressure washing edges and steer clear of automatic car washes with brushes.

Is the wrap removable?

Yes! Vinyl wraps are fully removable and do not damage your original paint when taken off properly. If you're ready for a new look, we can remove or replace it professionally.

What is Paint Protection Film (PPF)?

PPF is a transparent, self-healing film applied to your vehicle’s painted surfaces. It protects against scratches, rock chips, road debris, and environmental damage while maintaining the original paint finish.

How long does PPF last?

High-quality PPF can last anywhere from 5 to 10 years, depending on the brand, installation quality, and how well it’s maintained.

Is PPF noticeable on the car?

No — when professionally installed, PPF is virtually invisible. It’s designed to preserve your car’s original appearance without altering its look or colour.

Does PPF affect the paint?

Not at all. In fact, it protects your paint. And when removed properly, it leaves no damage or residue.

Can I apply ceramic coating over PPF?

Yes! In fact, many clients choose to apply a ceramic coating on top of the PPF for added gloss, easier maintenance, and enhanced protection.

How do I maintain my PPF-wrapped vehicle?

We recommend hand washing with pH-neutral soap, avoiding harsh chemicals or automatic car washes with brushes. Ask us about our PPF-safe aftercare guide.

Is window tint legal in my area?

Yes, but tint laws vary by province and vehicle type. In Quebec, for example, front side windows must allow at least 70% of light through. We follow all local regulations and can help you choose a legal, stylish option.

What tint shades are available?

We offer a range of shades—from light to dark—so you can choose the level of privacy and heat rejection that best suits your needs. We’ll help you select the right option based on your goals and local laws.

Will window tint affect my visibility?

No. Our high-quality films are designed to reduce glare without compromising your visibility from the inside. Darker tints may slightly reduce nighttime visibility, but legal options are safe for everyday driving.

How long does the tint last?

With proper care, professional-grade window tint can last 5 to 10 years or more. We use high-performance films that are resistant to bubbling, peeling, and discolouration.

How do I care for my tinted windows?

Wait at least 3–5 days before rolling down tinted windows after installation. Use ammonia-free cleaners and soft microfiber cloths to clean them. Avoid sharp tools or rough materials that could scratch the film.

Is the tint removable?

Yes. Tint can be safely removed without damaging your windows. Whether you're upgrading or changing your look, we can assist with professional removal.

Can I tint over factory-tinted glass?

Yes. Many vehicles come with a factory tint on the rear windows. We can apply additional tint for enhanced privacy, style, and UV protection.

What is a chrome delete?

A chrome delete is a customization service that covers the chrome accents on your vehicle—such as window trim, grilles, emblems, and mirrors—with high-quality vinyl wrap. The result is a sleek, modern look that eliminates the shiny chrome for a more aggressive or luxury appearance.

Which parts of my car can be chrome deleted?

Common areas include window trim, door handles, front grilles, roof rails, badging, and mirrors. We can customize your chrome delete based on your vehicle and your design preferences.

What finish options are available?

We offer matte, satin, and gloss finishes in black or other custom colours. Each finish provides a different look—matte for a stealthy effect, gloss for a factory-style shine, and satin for a subtle sheen.

Is the chrome delete permanent?

No, chrome delete wraps are not permanent. They are a non-invasive modification and can be removed without damaging the original chrome underneath.

How do I maintain and clean my chrome delete wrap?

Use gentle, pH-neutral car soaps and soft microfiber cloths. Avoid abrasive cleaners, brushes, or automatic car washes that use harsh chemicals. Hand washing is best for longevity.

Is chrome delete reversible?

Yes, one of the main benefits of a chrome delete wrap is that it’s 100% reversible. You can remove the wrap and restore your vehicle’s original chrome finish at any time.

Will a chrome delete affect my car’s resale value?

In many cases, it can enhance resale value by appealing to buyers who prefer a modern, de-chromed look. Since it’s reversible, there’s no permanent change to the vehicle.
