Thread: Another one! Geez - R8 GT Coupe Satin Guard it is

2012 R8 GT from the factory with their matte paint scheme branded as Suzuka Grey. Customer will be keeping this one for a while and having gone through two different companies for paint protection film and fed up with the results, he came directly to us after doing some research. Long story short, he comes in and finds that his car is at home with another R8 GT (black Spyder). Thumbs up to the project, and we begin....photos to come soon after they are watermarked!

Project: FULL VEHICLE PROTECTION

Product Used: Satin Guard
*how does this product differ from the matte paint protection films on the market? We've seen and tested them all. 2 Things set this film apart from the rest:
1. DTT - Dual Tone Technology which exhibits a multiple sheens based purely on lighting. Outdoor, there are satin flakes to be found while other products on the market are just plain dull
2. Oil and stain resistant. We have found that Satin Guard is the most oil and stain resistant (bug guts, bird droppings, etc.).

Manufacturer: Prestige Film Technologies

Ah, Satin Guard, seriously good stuff.

Keep up the awesome work, guys!

Do you have close ups of the GT V10 badging area? I've seen many local companies merely cut a box around the emblems and leave it at that.

A cut out would actually detract from the overall install. We actually remove these parts to have these areas seamless. Experience makes a difference!

FAQ:

Q: Do you make Satin Guard?
A: No, we are merely an installer and true supporter of it. The manufacturer is Prestige Film Technologies - they have 2 manufacturing sites: Japan and USA

Q: Is this vinyl?
A: No, it is not. Vinyl typically is 1.5 - 2.5 mils thick with very little protective capabilities. Satin Guard is 8 mils thick

Q: How do you clean it?
A: Just wash - no need to wax, clay, or polish. We agree with our customers! It's very easy to maintain this product.
