WINDOW FILM
・Drying Time After window film application, allow 3-5 days before rolling down or cleaning the windows. The f ilm will fully cure in 3-4 weeks, depending on weather conditions.
・Black Dotted Edges Most vehicles have black ceramic edges on side and rear windows. These ceramic edges, either straight or dotted, prevent the window film from fully adhering in these areas, resulting in a whitish-looking strip along the edge of the glass. This effect is unavoidable.
・Shade/Color Refunds are not available once a client has chosen and installed a specific film color or shade.
・Film, Badge, & Decal Removal Removing film, badges, and decals may damage paint, glass, or defrosters. By authorizing removal, the client acknowledges this risk, waives claims against CERAMIC PRO FORT LAUDERDALE, and agrees CERAMIC PRO FORT LAUDERDALE is not liable for any resulting damage.
・Imperfections We strive for perfection, but minor dust contamination or imperfections are inherent in every window film application. Pre-existing flaws, scratches, and metal deposits on glass may become more noticeable after tinting, especially on older vehicles.
・Windshield Film Installation Minor imperfections are present in all windshield installations and are more noticeable on the front windshield with a 99% tolerance. Do not apply decals or windshield accessories for 7 days postinstallation. There is no refund or warranty for the “rainbow effect” caused by polarized sunglasses.
・Delaware Law and Surrounding Areas Clients installing a VLT (visible light transmission) not approved by Delaware law, or the laws of any other state, release CERAMIC PRO FORT LAUDERDALE from all liability.
PAINT PROTECTION FILM (PPF)
・About Paint Protection Film Paint protection film (PPF)
is a 8-mil-thick layer designed to protect vehicle paint from chips, scratches, and swirl marks. PPF is warrantied for up to 12 years against yellowing, staining, cracking, blistering, and delamination. The warranty does not cover damage from accidents or objects impacting or penetrating the film.
・Drying Time
PPF takes 3-4 weeks to fully cure, depending on weather. Do not wash your vehicle for 5 days after installation. Vehicles should be inspected 1-2 weeks post-installation.
・Condition of Vehicle for Paint Protection Film Installation
The vehicle should be free of any paint protection coatings (e.g., ceramic coatings) that could interfere with PPF adhesion, causing issues like lifting or bubbling. PPF is intended for OEM factory paint only. Clients release CERAMIC PRO FORT LAUDERDALE from warranty or damage claims if PPF is applied over a non-OEM paint surface.
・Paint Surface
Paint may lift on repainted or improperly prepped OEM panels. By authorizing installation, the client acknowledges this risk, waives claims against CERAMIC PRO FORT LAUDERDALE, and agrees CERAMIC PRO FORT LAUDERDALE is not liable for such damage.
・Paint Chips
PPF protects against future paint chip damage but will appear as contamination if applied over existing paint chips due to uneven surfaces. We do not recommend touch-ups on small paint chips for aesthetic reasons.
・Installation
All PPF kits are pre-cut using software, stopping short of edges, badges, washers, and similar parts. Clients understand PPF is a sacrificial layer, not completely invisible or matte. Custom-fit or bulk installations are available for an additional fee.・Exposed Edges and Seams While we aim to wrap all edges, some may remain exposed. Over time, debris can accumulate, particularly on white or light-colored vehicles, and will be more noticeable with partial installations. A ceramic coating is recommended to reduce debris buildup. There is no warranty orreapplication for debris buildup.
・Headlights
Due to HID features and exterior coatings, we do not recommend PPF for headlights. By authorizing headlight film installation, clients acknowledge the risk, waive claims against CERAMIC PRO FORT LAUDERDALE, and agree that CERAMIC PRO FORT LAUDERDALE is not liable.
・Film, Badge, & Decal Removal
Removing film, badges, and decals may cause damage to paint, glass, or defrosters. By authorizing this service, clients acknowledge the risk, waive claims against CERAMIC PRO FORT LAUDERDALE, and agree that CERAMIC PRO FORT LAUDERDALE is not liable for any resulting damage. When removing badges, we recommend providing OEM replacements for optimal fit, finish, and adhesion.
・Imperfections
Minor imperfections like dust contamination, pre-existing flaws, scratches, and rock chips are inherent in every PPF installation. Some degree of “orange peel” texture is also normal. Older or used vehicles are more likely to exhibit imperfections due to age.
CERAMIC COATINGS
・Curing Time
Ceramic coatings take 10 days to fully cure and 4 hours to dry after the last application layer. Do not wash the vehicle until curing is complete. Hand washing is required afterward to maintain performance. Machine or tunnel car washes will void all warranties.
・Water Spots
Unfiltered water, especially in sunlight, can cause water spots. Clients understand that longer exposure to water spots makes them harder to remove. CERAMIC PRO FORT LAUDERDALE is not liable for water spot damage.
・Condition of Vehicle for Ceramic Coating
Paint correction is recommended for all new or used vehicles before ceramic coating. Clients who waive paint correction acknowledge that uncorrected areas will have less effective coating.・Film, Badge, & Decal Removal Removing film, badges, and decals may damage the substrate. By authorizing removal, clients acknowledge the risk, waive claims against CERAMIC PRO FORT LAUDERDALE, and agree that CERAMIC PRO FORT LAUDERDALE is not liable for damage.・Paint CorrectionPaint correction removes most light scratches, swirls, marring, and minor marks from the clear coat. Though we strive for perfection, some scratching, swirling, or minor marks may remain.
・Wet Sanding
Wet sanding removes the top layer of a vehicle’s clear coat. Due to associated risks, CERAMIC PRO FORT LAUDERDALE only uses wet sanding when the options are either wet sanding or repainting. CERAMIC PRO FORT LAUDERDALE assumes no responsibility for repairs if wet sanding causes damage. After wet sanding, a Ceramic Coating is recommended to replenish the clear coat.
・Ceramic Coating
Ceramic Coating, an SIO2 (Silicon Dioxide) ceramic coating, protects against UV rays and makes cleaning easier. Clients understand that Ceramic Coating is not scratch proof. Applying paint protection film on bumpers, hood, fenders, and mirrors is recommended to prevent rock chips.
・Windshield
Clients understand that weather conditions may affect the protection level and duration on windshield coatings. There is no warranty on windshield coating durability.
・Interior Coating
If liquid or substances get on the upholstery, clean promptly to prevent staining. There is no warranty for interior staining.
・Wheel Coating
Prompt cleaning of brake dust or road debris is recommended to prevent staining. Bare aluminum wheels are not recommended for coating, and no warranty is provided on them. Wheel and caliper coatings carry a 2-year warranty. Clients are responsible for re-torquing wheels to manufacturer specifications.
・Maintenance & Annual Inspections
Bi-weekly washing is recommended. Annual inspections are advised to ensure the coating is properly maintained.
