how to take care of paint protection film

Headlight Wrap

What is a Headlight Tint OR Taillight Tint?

A car headlight wrap uses optically clear paint protection film (PPF) over your lenses. This headlight wrap film absorbs stone chips, resists sand-blasting, and slows UV yellowing without distorting light. Prefer a stealth vibe? Choose a headlight tint in a light-smoke shade. If you’re after a factory-fresh look, high quality tint film. We have a tinting solutions for you, pick clear headlight wrap (often searched as “clear wrap headlights” or “headlight wrap clear”).

  • Thickness: premium PPF with self-healing top coat
  • Finishes: Clear (OEM look), Light-Smoke (stealth, subtle shade)
  • Removable: returns to stock when you’re ready

FAQ:

How do I care for the film after install?

Avoid washing/pressure washing for 48–72 hours. Hand-wash with pH-neutral shampoo, avoid harsh solvents or abrasive pads, and be gentle around edges. Light marks often self-heal with warmth or sunlight.

Can you restore yellowed or hazy lenses first?

Yes. We can polish/restore headlights before applying clear headlight wrap or headlight wrap tint for the best clarity and adhesion.

How long does installation take and how much does it cost?

Most pairs take ~1–2 hours, depending on lens size and complexity. Pricing varies by model—contact us for a quick quote.

Do you offer taillight tint to match the front?

Yes—taillight tint in coordinated light-smoke shades for a uniform build. Ask about bundle pricing for headlight tint + taillight tint.

Can you do black headlight wrap?

We won’t “blackout” the lens itself (that would compromise light output/WOF), but we can add black styling accents around the area and pair them with a light-smoke headlight tint on the lens for a clean, compliant look.

How long does it last, and is it removable?

With proper care, premium films last years. Self-healing top coats reduce fine swirls, and the film is reversible—we can remove it later to return the car to stock.

Do you offer mobile installs?

No—workshop-only at our East Tāmaki location for the cleanest, dust-free installs and proper curing. If you’ve searched “headlight wrap near me” or “headlight wrapping near me”, we’re easy to reach from Flat Bush, Botany, Howick, Highbrook, Pakuranga, Somerville, Manukau, and wider Auckland.
