Over time, the paint on the bodywork loses its original shine while every motorist dreams of having a perfectly shiny bodywork. To achieve this, special films are commercially available that, when applied entirely to the vehicle, help prevent the ageing of the paint.

The application of these films requires special equipment, including a complete kit of films and solvents suitable for the type of vehicle they are to be applied to. After thoroughly washing the vehicle, apply the special film to the various parts, then use a tool to remove air bubbles and adhere the film using a heat source.
