Absolutely. Defcon paint protection film can be installed on any smooth, painted surface, not just vehicles, making it a versatile solution for protecting signs and other painted assets.

Defcon films like Defcon One and Defcon Glanz models come with up to a 10-year warranty covering issues such as yellowing, staining, bubbling, peeling, and cracking. This long-lasting protection ensures your vehicle’s finish stays pristine for years.

Yes, detailing clay can be used to remove stubborn contaminants. Always lubricate the surface with soapy water or a dedicated clay lubricant before gently rubbing the clay bar over the film. For tougher stains like insect residue or bird droppings, products like Simple Green work well as a lubricant.

No special maintenance is needed beyond regular cleaning.

Yes, Defcon films can be installed on chrome. Keep in mind the protected chrome surface might look slightly different than the bare finish. We suggest testing a small patch first to see how the film alters the appearance.

Defcon ONE film is backed by a 10-year warranty against yellowing and other common film issues. Proper care and maintenance will help maintain clarity throughout its lifespan.

Defcon have coloured films like gloss black, matte black, and gloss white. For availability, please contact your local Defcon representative.

The self-healing clear coat on Defcon films is about 13 microns thick. Minor scratches that only affect this top layer will repair themselves with exposure to heat (sunlight or warm water). However, scratches that cut through the clear coat won’t heal and require film replacement.

Yes, precut kits are available online or through authorised dealers. However, due to the complexity of installation, especially on curved panels, we highly recommend having Defcon-certified professionals install the film.

No. Due to the optical properties and impact absorption of the film, it can cause visual distortion when applied to glass surfaces like windshields.

Prices vary based on installer rates, location, and coverage area. Contact your nearest Defcon accredited installer for an accurate quote.

Start by contacting your installer to discuss your concerns. Defcon supports a network of installers who stand behind their work. If unresolved, you can reach out to Defcon’s customer support to escalate the issue.

Yes, Defcon PPF can cover any smooth painted surface on your vehicle, from full body wraps to partial coverage.

If you choose to wax Defcon Glanz film, use Defcon’s Flawless Finish Sealant and apply it carefully in small sections, wiping away all excess thoroughly to maintain the film’s matte appearance.

Yes, but only after waiting at least 48 hours post-installation to allow the film to fully cure and adhere.

Xylene-based solvents like Acry-Solvent won’t harm the film if used sparingly and wiped quickly. For stain removal, lightly dampen a microfiber cloth and wipe the affected area for a short time, then let it dry before repeating if necessary.

Pressure washers are safe to use after the film has fully cured (about 48 hours), but avoid directing high-pressure water directly at the film edges.

Ceramic coatings can be applied over Defcon PPF and do not interfere with its self-healing properties. Different coatings may alter the finish’s gloss level. We recommend consulting with your installer and using coatings designed for use with paint protection films.

Modern factory paint adheres to the vehicle panel far more strongly than Defcon PPF adheres to the paint, making it very unlikely that removal will damage original paint if done correctly. We recommend professional removal using heat to soften adhesive and minimize residue.

Yes, PPF can be applied over vinyl or graphics. Be aware that hard edges might trap air underneath the film.

Yes, Defcon films are suitable for protecting vehicle lighting surfaces.

Use gentle, film-safe cleaners such as Defcon’s rinse-free car wash, detail spray, or ceramic boost products for optimal cleanliness and surface slickness.

Yes, but for best appearance, touch-up areas should be smooth and professionally buffed before film application.

Yes, it can be applied to smooth interior surfaces, but care should be taken to avoid electronics and switches during installation.

Yes, factory paint is typically fully cured before leaving the assembly line, making it suitable for film application.

Use a general-purpose adhesive remover safe for automotive paint, available at auto parts stores.

Yes, Defcon PPF warranties are transferable to new owners with proof of purchase.

No, once removed, the film cannot be reapplied to another vehicle.

Yes, though the film may slightly alter the appearance. We recommend testing a small area before full application.

It’s best to remove waxes or sealants before applying PPF, as these can interfere with adhesion. If such products are desired, apply them after film installation.

Yes, vinyl can be applied over cured film, and removed later without damaging the PPF.

This is due to differences in refractive indexes between the film and the paint, especially on curved surfaces where the film is stretched thinner. It’s a common optical effect and not a defect.
