The installation begins with cleaning and preparing the vehicle glass to remove dust, oil, residue, and other contaminants that could affect film adhesion and clarity.
Window film is precisely cut to match the dimensions and contours of the vehicle's side windows, rear glass, windshield, or sunroof.
The film is carefully positioned and applied to the prepared glass to support consistent alignment, smooth coverage, and clean edges.
The completed installation is inspected for alignment, edge fit, clarity, and visible imperfections before the vehicle leaves the shop.

“I tend to keep my cars for a long period of time so taking good care of them is crucial. Most people can't believe that my current vehicle is 10 years old. When I purchased my new Porsche Macan T I knew I wanted it protected. John was referred to my husband by a satisfied client. After a phone consultation, I drove my car from the dealer straight to John's shop! I didn't think that a new car could look better, but boy was I wrong. I am still smiling every time I look at it! John did the whole car in PPF, ceramic coating, and window tinting. He is extremely knowledgeable and meticulous in his methods of application and extremely professional!
“The vehicle arrived from the factory with some obvious swirl marks and haze in certain areas of the paint. After leaving with John for a week the car looks better than at the dealer and the color is more vibrant.
“Great experience working with John. PPF on the front of my car looks fantastic and I’m excited to do work again with Advanced Detailing in the future.
