2012 R8 GT from the factory with their matte paint scheme branded as Suzuka Grey. Customer will be keeping this one for a while and having gone through two different companies for paint protection film and fed up with the results, he came directly to us after doing some research. Long story short, he comes in and finds that his car is at home with another R8 GT (black Spyder). Thumbs up to the project, and we begin....photos to come soon after they are watermarked!

Project: FULL VEHICLE PROTECTION

Product Used: Satin Guard
*how does this product differ from the matte paint protection films on the market? We've seen and tested them all. 2 Things set this film apart from the rest:
1. DTT - Dual Tone Technology which exhibits a multiple sheens based purely on lighting. Outdoor, there are satin flakes to be found while other products on the market are just plain dull
2. Oil and stain resistant. We have found that Satin Guard is the most oil and stain resistant (bug guts, bird droppings, etc.).

Manufacturer: Prestige Film Technologies

What makes it different from other matte paint protection films in the market?

 

What we have found is the sheen is much smoother and silkier in direct sunlight and it is more resistant from etchings (bug guts and bird droppings).

FAQ:

Q: Do you make Satin Guard?
A: No, we are merely an installer and true supporter of it. The manufacturer is Prestige Film Technologies - they have 2 manufacturing sites: Japan and USA

A: No, it is not. Vinyl typically is 1.5 - 2.5 mils thick with very little protective capabilities. Satin Guard is 8 mils thick

Q: How do you clean it?
A: Just wash - no need to wax, clay, or polish. We agree with our customers! It's very easy to maintain this product.

 

Now, you need to replace those side markers front and back...!

So what is Satin Guard? One thing it is not - vinyl. Satin Guard is a form of paint protection film like the conventional "clear bra". It is designed to absorb impact and take the brunt of abuse from highway driving. How it differs from other products on the market? There are various manufacturers of this type of paint protection film. We have chosen to use Prestige Film Technologies Satin Guard because of its relative consistency in quality and its coating that gives off a 2 tone effect depending on the lighting. In direct sunlight, you will see some pretty nice satin metallic flakes that gives the car a very unique look while in lower lighting conditions, it would look matte.
