How a car moves through the bay.

No film or coating goes on until the paint is measured, decontaminated and corrected. It is slower, and it is why our claim rate sits under 1 percent.

  1. Inspect and measure

    Paint depth, existing chips and prior repairs logged on every panel before we quote. You see the readings.

    45 min, free with every quote

    Hand inspecting and wiping a painted panel
  2. Decontaminate

    Foam pre-wash, two-bucket contact wash, iron fallout remover and clay for a surface film and coatings can bond to.

    pH-neutral chemistry only

    Car covered in foam during decontamination wash
  3. Correct

    Measured machine polishing from the gentlest pad up, because protection locks in whatever is underneath.

    1 to 3 stages, depth checked

  4. Install and cure

    Pattern cut, hand trimmed, edges wrapped and post-heated. Then 48 hours indoors before any car leaves.

    Full front after my first rock chip in week two. They showed me the paint depth readings before starting. I cannot find a single edge.

Questions we answer at the bay door.

Straight answers on film, coatings, cure times and what the warranty covers.

Film is a thick physical layer that stops rock chips. A coating is a thin, hard chemical layer that adds gloss, water beading and chemical resistance but does not stop chips. Many owners film the front and coat the whole car.

Quality urethane film carries a 10-year manufacturer warranty against yellowing, cracking and bubbling. In practice, garaged cars in Dallas look right well past that. Parked outside year round, expect the top coat to need a little more care after year seven.

Book an appointment online or call us. Protection work starts with a free 45-minute inspection where we measure paint depth and confirm the package price before any work begins.

Film is covered by the manufacturer for yellowing, cracking, bubbling and delamination. Our workmanship warranty covers lifting edges, stretch marks and installation defects. Impact damage is not covered, but Plus and Elite plans include panel re-films.

Keep it dry for 24 hours and wait 7 days for the first wash. Use a pH-neutral shampoo and avoid automatic brush car washes for the life of the coating.

Measure first. Protect once.

Every quote starts with a free 45-minute paint inspection in our Deep Ellum bay.
