Frequently Asked Questions
Does the film have a negative effect on the car paint?
No! Omega-Shield™ protects your car against paint damage and keeps it in showroom condition year after year, while the film remains virtually invisible. The advanced adhesive system bonds securely without harming OEM paint. In fact, many installers recommend it as an extra layer of defense, as it not only prevents scratches but also helps preserve the vehicle’s resale value.
Can Omega-Shield™ films be waxed?
Yes, you can wash and wax your car as if Omega-Shield™ was not there. Use synthetic wax types only, as these are safe for the self-healing top layer. Natural waxes containing Carnauba are a no-go, since they may leave residue or affect clarity. With the correct products, regular waxing enhances gloss and ensures the film maintains its showroom-quality look.
Will the paint of a car eventually fade under the sun?
Yes, every paint will. Omega-Shield™ film is UV-stable and does not discolor, but UV radiation is transmitted. This is intentional, so both the paint under the film and the unprotected paint keep the same color. By allowing UV rays to pass through, Omega-Shield™ prevents uneven fading, making it the preferred choice for installers who value consistent results.
Can Omega-Shield™ film be removed again?
Yes. Omega-Shield™ has a patented acrylic adhesive layer that can be safely removed even years after application, without leaving residue and without affecting the paint. This makes it easy for installers to replace panels or upgrade the film without worrying about paint damage. Many professionals use this feature as a strong selling point when dealing with premium cars.
Can Omega-Shield™ film be installed by yourself?
To obtain 100% invisible, crystal-clear paint protection, an installer recognized by us is required. This installer has followed professional training with us, ensuring proper techniques and a flawless finish. While DIY kits exist in the market, Omega-Shield™ is a high-end film that requires experience to deliver the promised result. Use our dealer locator to find a certified professional near you.
How do you remove stains from the film?
See the maintenance guidelines in downloads. In general, stains can be removed with mild cleaners that are pH-neutral and safe for use on paint protection film. Avoid aggressive solvents or abrasive sponges, as these can reduce the film’s clarity. Following our care instructions ensures the film remains crystal-clear and effective for many years.
What makes Omega-Shield™ different from other PPF films?
Omega-Shield™ stands out because it combines premium optical clarity with innovative technology. Unlike many films, it delivers a flawless, glossy surface without the orange peel effect, ensuring a true showroom-quality finish. These properties allow installers to deliver results that consistently impress customers and differentiate their service in the market.
How elastic is Omega-Shield™ Paint Protection Film?
Omega-Shield™ offers exceptional elasticity up to 360%. For installers, this means the film can be stretched and shaped with ease, even over complex curves, without compromising its strength or performance. The high elasticity reduces installation time and minimizes the risk of wrinkles or lift marks, making it especially user-friendly.
Does Omega-Shield™ repair scratches without heat?
Yes. One of the unique properties of Omega-Shield™ is its ability to let light scratches disappear automatically within 10 minutes, without the need for heat guns or external heat sources. This self-healing feature simplifies maintenance for car owners and ensures installers can guarantee a lasting, flawless finish with minimal effort.
Can Omega-Shield™ be corrected during installation without leaving marks?
Absolutely. Omega-Shield™ allows endless repositioning and correction during installation, without leaving glue streaks or marks. This installer-friendly feature reduces waste, improves efficiency, and gives professionals more confidence when applying the film. The result is a perfect finish that meets the highest industry standards.
