How can we do this?
Here at Auto Artisan, we use designated protection film templates specific for your choice of vehicle. See the image below for a Tesla Model Y. We have complete templates for all Tesla models. They are computer cut with great accuracy.
The cut files are selected and programmed into a plotter. The film is then loaded into the machine and the computer software will take care of all the cutting. This means, we do not need to cut on your vehicle.
Tesla PPF PPF Installation Process
Stage 1 – Inspection
- Your Tesla comes into our shop and we inspect all exterior surfaces.
- We establish if the car is suitable for PPF as it stands or if it requires a pre application of paint correction due scratches or deeper marks.
Stage 2 – Full Clean and Re-inspect
- Vehicles receives full external detail with a clay bar using high gloss pH balanced detergent solution. We utilise a 2-bucket system to ensure utmost care of your vehicle.
- Then, we perform a post clean inspection to review for swirl marks.
Stage 3 – Advise or Proceed with Installation
- PPF can disguise the existing swirl marks, such as marks caused due to washing the vehicle. – If customer is aware, we will proceed with the installation.
- If deep scratches are present, we will call customer and recommend either a stage 1,2 or 3 paint correction.
Stage 4 – Decontamination & Preparation
- Next step is decontamination process, whereby we remove all contaminants with isopropyl alcohol, panel by panel.
- Then we mask any sensitive areas of the vehicles such as the headlights, window trims, plastic garnishes and more.
Stage 5 – Cut templates for Installation
- We use software to find specific cut templates.
- We prepare all cutting and preparation on a CWT (Cut-Work Table)
Stage 6 – Installation
- Now we can move to the full installation of our PPF.
Stage 7 – Quality Control Inspection & Handover
- Finally, we move to the Quality Control stage before the car receives final cleaning ready for return to it’s owner.
Stage 8 – Aftercare & Warranty
- Here at Auto Artisan, we only use premium products such as Suntek films. We offer manufacturers film warranty of up to 10 years.
- Please see the PPF aftercare section on a separate page.
Paint Protection Film (PPF) and Paint Protection Coating are very different. Below are some quick explanations;
PPF is a clear film that is wrapped over the top of your paint. It’s purpose/abilities are listed below.
- Protect the original paint under the protective film
- Self healing
- Strong & durable
- Replaceable at any time if damage has occurred.
Ceramic Coating is designed to;
- Increase shine
- Create hydrophobic effect
- Provides greater ability to “buff out” damages
- Enhance UV protection to existing paint
- DOES NOT – stop stone chips OR stop anything that causes deep gouges or scrapes.
We do NOT use low quality films can discolour and turn yellow over time, or films that have the “orange peel” effect which minimises shine.
If you want cleaning to be a “thing of the past”, use PPF and Ceramic Coating together.
