Good To Know
Frequently Asked Questions
What is reactive PPF?
Reactive films stay clear at night but darken (tint) or turn blue in sunlight and UV, adding a dynamic look without compromising night visibility.
Does it affect my headlights' brightness?
No, the film maintains excellent light output and clarity while protecting the lens.
Why protect headlights?
Modern LED and matrix headlights are expensive to replace; PPF guards against chips, pitting and UV damage.
Is the clear film visible?
Clear headlight PPF is virtually invisible once installed, preserving the factory appearance.
Does it self-heal?
Yes, minor surface marks disappear with heat thanks to the film's self-healing layer.
