Product Overview
Save Your Paint From Damage
Bugs, rocks, sand and other various road debris begin attacking your vehicle the second it leaves the showroom floor. They eat their way through the clear coat and paint, leaving your vehicle helpless against daily driving conditions. Until recently, the only practical solution to these problems were vinyl/leather car bras that offer poor coverage and often cause as much damage as they prevent.
Our Film
Our Avery Dennison StoneShield™ Urethane Film provides a barrier for your paint's surface against harsh, environmental elements and everyday wear. Stone chips, road debris, bug acid and abrasion decrease the value of your vehicle. Unlike using a leather car bra, our paint protection film remains invisible, allowing your vehicle’s aesthetics to shine through.
StoneShield™ is noted for it's extreme ease of installation, superior clarity, and high gloss. Approved and used by Automotive OEM's, these flexible films provide good resistance to the damaging effects of U.V., while allowing the brilliance of the automotive finish to come through.

FAQ: Answers To Frequently Asked Questions About Paint Protection Film
Can the film be removed?
Yes. The film is designed as a semi-permanent application, but can easily be removed if desired from any OEM painted surface. For removal of the film, simply heat the surface to approximately 150°F and begin by working a corner of the film with your fingernail. After you have enough film to hold onto, pull the film slowly away from the surface. If any adhesive remains, simply use any adhesive cleaner that is safe for the surface and wipe clean with a soft cloth. If any sections are known to have been repainted, extreme caution should be taken on those areas during removal.
Can I see a line where the film stops?
A slight line is barely visible at certain angles where the film stops.
How hard is it to see after it is applied?
The film is over 99.5% clear. On any color darker than bright white, you can’t see the film. On a stark white car, you can see less than 0.5% of color, which is from the adhesive.
How long will it last, when will I have to replace it?
The topcoat product has a 7-year warranty and the non-topcoat has 5 years. Proper care will only help to prolong the life of the material. Frequent washing and waxing is recommended similar to the care of your car's painted surface. Applications of high quality automotive wax after installation and at frequent intervals will help retain the luster and performance of the product. (Waxing the material cleans the surface and adds moisture to the film similar to the painted surface.)
Will the paint fade differently under the film than the rest of the car?
No. The material contains UV inhibitors to prevent the film from reacting to the sun's rays, but still allows a certain amount to filter through the material and onto the surface to let the paint “age” with the rest of the vehicle.
What if I go through a car wash, or have the car waxed?
You can do anything to the material that you normally do to a car's finish. Frequent washing and waxing will only prolong and enhance the beauty of the product. Yes, the material will accept wax and polishes just as the paint does and will last longer with regular applications.
What if I encounter wax build-up around the edges?
Use a soft, damp cloth, Q-tip, or soft brush to remove any wax build-up that may occur.
Will it really stop rocks from chipping the car?
Yes. The material was originally designed to stop chips on rotor blades and airplane propellers. It is much easier for the product to protect your vehicle's paint than a propeller moving at nearly the speed of sound.
What does the warranty cover?
The premium StoneShield product is warranted to be free of defects in manufacturing and workmanship, and will resist yellowing and cracking resulting from UV exposure for up to 7 years. Limitation of remedies and liabilities are solely restricted to replacement of the defective film.
