What is this product?
This Rvinyl Protection film is a "fusion product" that blends the worlds of protection and tint modification into a single universal kit. These urethane based protection kits bond to your headlights with optically clear non-permanent adhesive. Designed to protect you vehicles headlights, they can shield your expensive lights from 1" diameter stones hurled at your vehicle's lights at over 120mph! Durable enough to last up to 5 years of the harshest abuse, yet thin enough to appear as an OEM modification (17-20 mil thick). The non-protective tint film provides the aesthetic appeal, but not the protection.

How do I apply this product?

Protection film prevents this, non-protective tint film however does not provide a level of protection from significant scratches or UV radiation.

Is it cost effective?
1 in 6 vehicles on the road will require headlight replacements. OEM composite lights cost in excess of $600.00 to replace. Rvinyl Protection kits may be removed with out damaging existing lights, increasing resale value and protecting leased vehicles. The non-protective tint film may be removed without damaging your light, but does not provide protection.

What is the difference between Tint and Protection film?
Rvinyl Protection Kits are made from an optically clear 20mil (.020") thick clear film or a 17mil (.017") thick color film. Rvinyl Non-protective tint film uses a transparent vinyl which is 3mil (.003")thick. These films are not made from urethane, do not use optically clear adhesives, reduce light transmission and provide no light protection.

How do I know which wrap size film to purchase?
Measure the surface area where the film is going to be applied. Take into consideration any bends or compound curves that may need the material to bend when wrapping. Then choose the most applicable size for your need. A Tailor's Tape works well when measuring for bulk film.

Can the film be removed without damage?
Rvinyl protective film can be easily removed without damage to the light or original paint. Upon initial application, the film can be pulled back up and reapplied numerous times if not installed correctly. The film and adhesive are forgiving enough for this. Once the film has settled (approximately 48-72 hours) the product is not considered reusable. Upon removal warm the film and lift off slowly. If there is any additional adhesive left on the lens, simply rub the adhesive with isopropyl alcohol.

Are your colored films legal on headlights for street use?
Clear Protection films are legal. Our colored films may not be legal for street use on primary lighting. Please check your state or local laws before application. Our colored films do not produce a blue or red light when lit.  All non-clear films are intended for off-road show car use only.
