Vehicle Wraps

Vehicle wrapping offers numerous advantages:

Personal Vehicles: Choose any color without affecting resale value. When ready to sell, the wrap can be easily removed to reveal perfect factory paint.

Commercial Vehicles: Transform your fleet into mobile billboards! Cost-effective advertising that increases brand awareness.

Paint Protection: Vinyl wraps shield original paint from UV rays, minor scratches, stone chips, and weather elements.

When professionally installed using high-quality materials, vehicle wrapping will not damage factory paint. In fact, it protects it!

Important: Existing issues like stone chips, rust, or poor paint may be revealed when the wrap is removed. We recommend addressing paint issues before wrapping.

A quality vinyl film professionally applied and maintained should last 3-5 years, sometimes longer.

Maintenance Matters: With poor care (leaving bird droppings or infrequent washing), the vinyl may deteriorate sooner. Regular maintenance is key.

We work with premium materials from industry leaders:

Finishes: Matte, Gloss, Satin, Chrome, Carbon Fiber
Brands: 3M, Avery Dennison, Inozetek, KPMF, Teckwrap
Applications: Full wraps, partial wraps, color changes, custom designs

Window Tinting

Window tinting provides multiple advantages:

Heat Reduction: Blocks up to 60% of solar heat, keeping your vehicle cooler
UV Protection: Blocks 99% of harmful UV rays, protecting skin and interior
Glare Reduction: Reduces eye strain from sun and headlight glare
Privacy & Security: Provides privacy while maintaining outward visibility
Interior Protection: Prevents fading and cracking of dashboard and upholstery

Yes, window tinting is legal in Kenya with specific regulations:

Front Windshield: Light tint (35% VLT or higher)
Front Side Windows: From 5% VLT or higher (Visible Light Transmission)
Rear Windows: Any darkness allowed

We ensure all our tinting services comply with Kenyan regulations.

Quality window tint properly installed can last:

Hybrid Film: 5-7 years
Ceramic Film: 10+ years

Lifespan depends on film quality, installation, and maintenance. We use premium films from 3M and Llumar.

Yes, professional window tint can be removed without damaging windows. The process involves:

Softening the adhesive with heat or steam
Carefully peeling the film away
Cleaning any residual adhesive
Polishing the glass to restore clarity

We recommend professional removal to avoid damaging window defrosters or seals.

Paint Protection Film

Paint Protection Film (PPF) is a transparent, durable urethane film applied to vehicle surfaces to protect the factory paint from damage.

Key Features:

Self-healing properties that repair minor scratches with heat
High resistance to chips, scratches, and stains
UV protection to prevent fading and oxidation
Maintains vehicle's original appearance
Virtually invisible when properly installed

While both protect your vehicle, they serve different purposes:

PPF: Physical barrier against rock chips, scratches, and impacts. Thick, self-healing urethane film.
Ceramic Coating: Chemical barrier that provides superior gloss, hydrophobic properties, and chemical resistance. Thin liquid polymer.

Many customers choose both: PPF for impact protection and ceramic coating for enhanced appearance and easy maintenance.

PPF is typically applied to high-impact areas:

Full Front: Entire hood, fenders, bumper, mirrors
Partial Front: Leading edges of hood and fenders
High-Impact Zones: Door cups, rocker panels, behind wheels
Full Vehicle: Complete coverage for maximum protection

We'll recommend the best coverage based on your driving habits and budget.

Premium PPF can last 5-10 years with proper care:

Lifespan: 5-7 years for standard films, up to 10 years for premium options
Maintenance: Regular washing with pH-neutral soap
Protection: Avoid automatic car washes with harsh brushes
Enhancement: PPF-specific sealants can extend life and improve self-healing

We use top-tier PPF from UPPF, Suntek, Stek, and Avery Dennison.
