All the guides
Each one answers a specific question and links to the matching service, in case you want to move from what to how much.

Preparing the bodywork before the film
It is the part of the job that never appears in the finished photos and the only part that cannot be redone later. Once the film is on, what is underneath stays untouched for years.

Protecting the interior
The piano black on the centre console is the first surface to go on almost every current car, and it is the one nobody protects on day one.

Changing the colour with vinyl
A colour change is decided in ten minutes and lived with for years. These are the things worth being clear about before booking a date.

Satin, matte or gloss
They are not three levels of the same finish. They are three surfaces that get dirty differently, mark differently and forgive different things.

Damage to a wrapped panel
Vinyl is not polished and not touched in with colour: the affected part is redone. The hard bit is rarely the work — it is getting new film to match film that has been on the car for years.

Removing an old car wrap
Removing fresh vinyl is straightforward. Removing film that has spent years in the sun is a different job, and this is where the paint either comes through intact or does not.

Yellow headlights
A yellow headlight is not dirty: its outer layer has degraded. That determines what can be restored and what can only be fixed by replacing the light.

Ceramic coating over PPF and vinyl
Applying ceramic to paint and applying it over film are not the same job. What it adds changes, the product changes and so does the right time to apply it.

Why motorcycle wrapping costs what it does
A motorcycle uses far less material than a car and almost always costs more than people expect. The reason is not the vinyl: it is the hours.

Front PPF or full-car coverage
The question is not how much film to fit, but where your car takes impacts. Once that is clear, choosing a package is no longer just a matter of budget.

Protecting a newly bought car
Almost everyone asks which product to apply. The useful question is different: in what order, because doing it backwards means paying twice for the same work.

Planning van signage
The design is commissioned once. If it arrives before these decisions have been made, it has to be redone, and reworking artwork takes longer than thinking it through first.

What an installer checks on the paint
Before we talk about colours, we look at the clear coat, and sometimes the answer is no. Here is what we look for and why a timely no costs less than a rushed yes.

Car wrap or paint
They are not competing options in every case: sometimes vinyl is the only sensible choice, and sometimes no film will do. The dividing line is the condition of the bodywork.

How to wash a wrapped or PPF car
Almost all the damage we see on vinyl or PPF starts at an edge, and it is nearly always driven in by a pressure-washer lance. This is the wash routine we recommend, in order.

How long each service takes
The question always follows the price: how many days will I be without my car? Here is the answer for each service and, above all, what makes a job take longer.

Wrapping a renting car
Vinyl suits a car that is not yours precisely because it comes off. But there are three things worth settling before you choose the colour.

Chrome delete
Covering chrome trim with vinyl is one of the most requested partial jobs and one of the easiest to get wrong when the decision comes from an online photo. This is what we check first.

Caring for matte vinyl
Matte vinyl is not ruined by sunshine or mileage: it is ruined by a bad wash or the wrong product. And unlike paint, there is no going back.

How much PPF costs
PPF is not quoted by the metre, it is quoted by package. We explain what separates one package from the next and what else pushes the figure up.

What a car wrap costs
The price of a wrap does not come from a rate card, it comes from five concrete factors. We go through them one by one so you can read any quote, ours or anyone else’s.

PPF or ceramic coating
It is the most common question in the workshop, and the two do not compete: one protects against impacts, the other against maintenance. Here is the comparison we make with the car in front of us.

Full or partial wrap
It is not only a question of budget. It changes how the car looks, how long it sits in the workshop and what happens the day you decide to remove it.

How long a car wrap lasts
The number everyone repeats is "three to five years", but the real range is much wider and depends on things you can actually control.
