Four films, side by side.

A tick is verified: printed on the roll label or confirmed by ARK. A bracket is not measured yet, and it stays a bracket until it is.

Swipe the table sideways to see all four films.

On every film, a covered warranty claim pays for: replacement film, and the labour to take off the failed film and fit the new one.

What differs

The shop matters more than the row.

The films differ first in finish: what the car looks like with them on. After that, what decides how the film looks years from now is the bay that fits it: how the paint is prepared, how the edges are wrapped and how long the film is left to cure. Choose the finish here, and choose the shop as carefully.

A dark, near-empty workshop at night seen down its centre line: a single dark car parked at the far end under a warm ceiling light panel whose reflection runs the length of the polished floor, steel columns and cool strip lights along both side walls.

Pick the finish. Bring the car.
