Vibrant Paint Protection Film
Below, find the most common questions about paint protection film.
A. When it comes to protecting your vehicle’s paint finish, it’s a jungle of flying objects and natural forces out there: stones, gravel, sand, bird droppings, winter salt, tree sap, bugs, oil, and other road debris. Fortunately, Vibrant PPF is an easy, long-lasting solution to protecting your vehicle and maintaining its new car look.
A. Vibrant PPF not only serves as a protective film for your vehicle’s paint but also stands out by offering an extensive range of color options. Beyond the advantages of Clear PPF, these varied color choices elevate the style and cool factor of your car.
A. Yes, Vibrant PPF works great on vehicles, RVs, boats, jet skis, utility vehicles, tractors, and motorcycles.
A. The Vibrant PPF offers enhanced protection compared to regular PVC color change film, thanks to its thermoplastic polyurethane layer and exceptionally durable top coat. Rather than merely altering your vehicle’s color, it provides long-lasting safeguarding for years ahead, coupled with a superior finish.
A. Film longevity significantly depends on post-installation care and ongoing vehicle maintenance. While it’s factory-rated for 5 years, proper upkeep may extend its lifespan. Our warranty for Vibrant PPF includes a comprehensive 5-Year Limited Warranty, shielding against manufacturing defects, yellowing, delamination, bubbling, and cracking, ensuring added peace of mind.”
A. Phenix Vibrant PPF works on a full range of vehicle surfaces including the hood, bumpers, fenders, side view mirrors, grills, rocker panels, rear quarter panels, truck bed rails, door frame edges and thresholds, wiper blade landing areas, door handles and looks, roof areas, under utility racks, and around wheel wells.

Vinyl Wrap
Below are some of the most common questions about Phenix’s Vinyl Wrap.
A. Choosing between painting and wrapping isn’t a direct comparison. Each serves distinct purposes. Painting is a permanent alteration that can significantly impact resale value, often used for repairing damaged sections. On the other hand, wrapping is a temporary solution, offering a unique aesthetic without compromising the original paint. Wrapping is best for customization on an undamaged vehicle, while painting is typically reserved for addressing specific repairs.
A. Generally, a wrap lasts around 3 years, after which normal wear, including scratches, may impact the vehicle’s appearance. The durability of a wrap heavily relies on proper aftercare. As vinyl is delicate, regular washing is recommended, along with the use of specialized spray-on products for added protection.
A. All our wraps are fully removable, ensuring the preservation of your car’s original paint without any damage. Moreover, beyond being easily removable, a wrap acts as a formidable defense, effectively safeguarding and preserving the paintwork of your vehicle.
Please note that paint can be damaged on parts that have been repaired and repainted (non-OEM paint job)
A. The installation duration varies based on factors such as car model, type of wrapping, vinyl material, and the complexity of decorations. Generally, commercial wrapping for most cars takes approximately 10 hours. However, the time range for color-changing wraps can span from 12 to 36 hours, depending on the complexity of the specific vehicle. To ensure a comprehensive installation, your car is usually scheduled to stay at our authorized shop for 2 to 3 days.
A. No, that’s not recommended at all! Wrapping a car is an incredibly complex task. All our installers undergo specialized training and possess years of hands-on experience. It’s definitely not something you should attempt as a DIY project. That’s precisely why we don’t sell vinyl wraps to individuals.
Window Tint Film
Below are some of the most common questions about Phenix’s automotive window films.
A. Indeed. Glass-related accidents can pose significant hazards in both automotive and residential settings. Window film plays a crucial role in enhancing safety by holding shattered glass together, considerably minimizing the risk of injury. Although window film cannot entirely prevent breakage, its thickness increases the difficulty and time required to breach the glass, acting as a deterrent against unauthorized entry.
A. Phenix provides a wide selection of swatch samples featuring automotive window films in numerous shades and colors to facilitate customer choices through its dealers. Our dedicated professional dealers are committed to assisting you in making your final selection. Their essential responsibility is to guarantee that your chosen window film aligns with the state/province laws applicable to your vehicle’s registration.
A. When sunlight hits glass without window film protection, around 90% of its energy passes through, generating indoor heat. To mitigate this, applying window film can block up to 80% of the sun’s energy, notably reducing heat transmission indoors. The precise heat absorption and reflectance capabilities depend on the specific film recommended by your professional installer, tailored to meet your individual needs.
Dyed films, lacking metal components, remain non-reflective. While they absorb solar energy, their non-reflective nature makes them less effective in controlling solar heat. Conversely, metalized and nano-ceramic films offer both solar absorption and reflectance, significantly enhancing solar control. Among these options, nano-ceramic film delivers the highest level of solar protection, effectively blocking up to 99% of the sun’s harmful UV rays.
A. Factory tint, commonly known as privacy glass, primarily reduces visibility into the vehicle but lacks UV and IR reduction benefits. By incorporating Phenix window tint, you can substantially enhance your driving experience, enjoying tangible benefits like UV and IR reduction that you’ll truly feel!
A. You’re in luck! Our Phenix window tint film offers an ultra-light shade (70%) meticulously crafted to provide nearly all the advantages associated with our darker tints while preserving a subtle aesthetic. This particular option ensures that your windows closely resemble the clear OEM glass, retaining a refined appearance while significantly enhancing UV and IR reduction capabilities. It’s the ideal blend of functionality and preserving your vehicle’s original look and feel!
A. Although tinting rear windows is a common practice, it’s crucial to thoroughly review your state laws pertaining to window tinting before initiating any modifications. Ensuring compliance with these regulations beforehand can help you proceed with confidence.
A. Caring for your window tint film is easy! Opt for a mild soap or ammonia-free window cleaner when cleaning, using a soft microfiber or synthetic sponge for application. It’s crucial to steer clear of abrasive cleaners or cloths, as well as any products containing ammonia, to preserve the integrity of the film’s surface for long-term durability and clarity.
A. By providing UV and IR rejection, window tinting significantly reduces upholstery fading and minimizes the detrimental impact on interior surfaces, effectively safeguarding and maintaining the overall quality of your vehicle’s interior for longer durations.
A. Our Phenix window tint film comes with an 8-year warranty, guaranteeing long-lasting quality. It’s important to note that this warranty is applicable only when the window film is installed by an authorized Phenix window film installer.
A. For best results, we recommend professional installation of Phenix window tint at authorized facilities. It’s important to note that the warranty is only applicable when the film is installed by an authorized Phenix window film installer.
