Clear and satin film options let owners discuss appearance alongside impact coverage.

What this changes.
We show gloss-to-satin test panels beside identical coverage maps, and explain how the exposed panels will look.
Our reading of the reference above. What suits you is decided in person, when we meet.
The approaches behind the conversation.
Each reference below has its own mechanism, scope and official source, so we never treat them as interchangeable.
The full-front protection edit
We plan coverage around bumper, hood, front fenders and mirrors, then inspect the edges that make an installation feel considered. XPEL ULTIMATE PLUS is our reference for clear film; the actual material and warranty belong in the written scope.
- Coverage map, including headlights and high-impact extras
- Paint-condition photographs before installation
- Visible seams, edge treatment and aftercare review

A color with a point of view
We build a material board around gloss, satin, matte and textured wrap finishes, and hold a swatch on the actual body line before deciding whether the brief calls for subtle accent work or a complete color change.
- 3M 2080 and Avery Dennison finish references
- Door-jamb, trim-removal and original-paint discussion
- A daylight swatch review before the installation quote
Official reference: 3M Wrap Film Series 2080
Correction, coating, collection
We start under inspection lights, agree on an honest correction goal and build the coating around your wash routine. Gtechniq’s coatings and separate maintenance products show why preparation and continued care belong in the same conversation.
- Paint thickness and previous-work review where appropriate
- Wheels, glass and trim listed separately
- A first-wash plan and product-specific maintenance card
