Commercial Wraps For businessesOne rock off a gravel truck on I-85 can mean a new windshield, a camera recalibration and a day without the car. An optically clear film on the outside of the glass takes those hits instead.
On a modern car the windshield carries cameras and sensors, holds up the roof and can cost well over $1,000 to replace once recalibration is included.
Gravel off a truck, sand in a construction zone, debris on the interstate: the film absorbs the small hits that start a chip.
Highway miles sandblast glass into tiny pits that turn headlights into starbursts. The film takes that wear, and film can be replaced.
No cut-out, no new urethane and no camera recalibration. The factory seal and calibration stay exactly as they left the plant.
The film is optically clear. From the driver's seat and from outside, the car looks exactly the same.
Protection film goes on the outside of the windshield. Heat-rejection film goes on the inside. They do different jobs and work together.
Impact-absorbing clear film trimmed to the edge of the windshield. A wear layer: when it is worn, we replace the film, not the glass.
Best for: highway commuters, trucks & SUVs, new cars with cameras
Nearly clear nano-ceramic on the inside of the windshield. Rejects heat without making the glass look dark.

Chip repair is a good fix after the fact, but it only treats damage you already have. Film is the only option here that works before the rock arrives.
A big rock at highway speed, or a hit right at the edge of the glass, can still crack a windshield. The film improves the odds against the everyday small stuff.
Small chips get repaired before the film goes on. If the glass is already cracked, it gets replaced first.
Depending on miles and wiper use, the film is typically replaced every one to three years. You replace a film, not a windshield.
Protection film is clear and goes on the outside. Heat rejection is X Clear, a separate film on the inside.
Tell us the year, make and model and whether the windshield has any chips today. Book it on its own or add it to your PPF or tint appointment.
The glass is deep-cleaned, then the film goes on the outside of the windshield, the side the rocks actually hit.
The film is trimmed right to the edge of the glass. A clean edge tight to the trim is what keeps it from lifting at highway speed.
Water is pushed out and the film is set. A slight haze or small water pockets can show for the first few days while it dries. That is normal.
Call or fill out the form and one of our reps will reach out as soon as they can. Booking PPF or tint? We can add the windshield film to the same appointment.

$450 installed. That is a fraction of a replacement, especially on a car with cameras and sensors behind the glass.
Not from the driver's seat. It is optically clear, and on the car it is hard to spot even from outside.
Typically one to three years, depending on highway miles and how often the wipers run. When it is worn, we replace the film, not the glass.
Small chips should be repaired first so they cannot spread under the film. If the glass is already cracked, it needs to be replaced before film goes on.
No film can promise that. It stops most of the small-debris hits that cause chips and pitting, which is what ends most windshields.
Replace old wiper blades, never run the wipers on a dry windshield, skip ice scrapers and razor blades, and clean it with a soft microfiber and an ammonia-free glass cleaner.
191 Roper Rd, Inman, SC 29349, right off I-26 at exit 15. Open Monday to Saturday.
