Clearshield® Pro Paint Protection Film – FAQ

 

Clearshield® Pro is a premium paint protection film (PPF) from Solar Gard that acts as an invisible barrier against rock chips, scratches, road debris, bug acids, and environmental damage. At A1 Window Tinting in Olathe, KS, we install four Clearshield Pro options — Gloss, Matte, Hydro, and ACTIV — each designed for different looks and performance benefits.

  • Gloss – High-clarity finish that maintains your vehicle’s factory shine

  • Matte – Satin finish for a unique, high-end look while protecting paint

  • Hydro – Hydrophobic StainX® topcoat that repels water, dirt, and grime for easy cleaning

  • ACTIV – Instant self-healing technology that removes scratches without heat or water

 

Depending on the version, Clearshield Pro comes with a 7-year or 12-year warranty against yellowing, cracking, peeling, or bubbling. With proper care, it can protect your vehicle’s finish for well over a decade.

If a stain will not wash off with a regular car wash, you can apply isopropyl alcohol to a microfiber towel and clean the stain, if that does not work you can use a small amount of lacquer thinner. If the stain remains we would recommend you use a mild-abrasive wax and polish the surface of the film to restore the original appearance. Polishing/buffing of the film is a great way to remove contaminants from the surface, however this process should be limited to as-needed or once every 12- 18 months. An example of a mild-abrasive wax would be Turtle Wax Renew RX Polishing Compound Light to Medium Cleaner.  

No — unless you choose the Matte finish for a custom satin look. Clearshield Pro Gloss, Hydro, and ACTIV are virtually invisible when installed by our certified technicians.

You can wash and wax your vehicle as usual. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive tools. For Hydro and ACTIV, water will bead off the surface, making cleaning faster and easier.

In an ideal situation, an installer will have the vehicle 24 hours to monitor the film for any lifting edges before releasing the vehicle to the owner. In situations where this is not possible, we strongly recommend at least a 2-3 hour waiting period indoors followed by an inspection to ensure all edges are sealed before the vehicle is released.

Film should be lifted at a 45-degree angle and pull towards yourself, this will cause the adhesive to release. Do Not fold the film over on itself and rip it off, this can leave adhesive behind. In cold weather environments we recommend a steamer to aid in softening the film/adhesive for removal. 

 No, the installation process for Altered Black PPF is the same as PPF C and Matte. Removal directions are the same as well.

Most customers protect high-impact areas such as:

  • Front bumper

  • Hood and fenders

  • Side mirrors

  • Rocker panels

  • Door edges and handles

    Full-vehicle wraps are also available for maximum protection.

 

This is purely an interaction between light reflected from car surface through the film and polarized glasses. Light reflected from the surface is polarized in different direction and each polarization propagates through the film differently. This is an inherent feature of the film as it gets oriented to some degree during the installation. A good analogy would be looking at a screen of an ATM machine in polarized glasses – you can see a normal screen when you look straight at it and then you tilt your head and see a black screen.

Extremely happy with our new window tint in our home! From the beginning to the completion of the project, we were kept informed every step of the process. Jon came out and discussed the features and benefits of window tint and the warranty protection and helped us determine what options we could select for our different windows. He then measured all the windows we selected. We were able to schedule installation quickly and the two installers were very good and worked efficiently. They actually measured our windows a second time to ensure the product was accurate for the job. We are enjoying our home so much more since the glare is gone. Our sunroom stays so much cooler as well! We are thrilled that we don’t need to close our blinds anymore to keep the sun out and are enjoying the increased privacy. We are incredibly pleased with the work and the product and so happy that we decided use A1 Window Tinting and have already recommended them to our neighbors!

Had a great experience with A1 Window Tint getting my 2023 Tesla Model Y tinted. I worked with Michael, and from the initial phone conversation through the appointment, everything was straightforward and professional.

When I arrived, Michael was working in the back but came right up to greet me and went over everything we had discussed on the phone, including the original price quote. They also have a wall display that lets you actually see the different tint products and percentages, which was extremely helpful. I originally planned on going with what we had discussed over the phone, but after seeing the different options in person, I decided I wanted to go darker.

I ended up going with Vortex IR ceramic tint on the driver and passenger windows, matched to the factory privacy glass on the rear of the Model Y. I also went with 55% Vortex IR ceramic on the entire front windshield. I’m really happy I went with the 55% — it gives the windshield a darker, cleaner look without feeling overly dark.

Another big plus is that the Vortex IR ceramic tint I chose comes with a lifetime warranty. They recommended giving the tint about 3–5 days before washing the windows or rolling them down, and I followed those instructions. I had absolutely no issues during that period or afterward, and everything cured perfectly.

The finished product looks great. The front windows match the factory rear glass really well, the windshield came out exactly how I wanted it, and the whole car has a much cleaner look now.

5/5 experience and I would definitely recommend A1 Window Tint. If you have a Tesla Model Y and are looking for a shop that knows how to make it look right, I’d absolutely recommend giving them a call.

I was impressed from the initial estimate to the
Install. Timely, professional, and excellent installation appearance. To make it even
Better, I am amazed at the difference it makes. I am able to leave my large west facing blinds open in the afternoon hours to enjoy the daylight, without the extreme heat that I experienced prior to the installation. I have been able to manage my inside temperatures with my ceiling fans and leave the air conditioning off on days that I would previously have to run the air. I know that I will see a reduction in my electrical bill over the coming summer months.
I am so pleased, I have just placed a second order, applying the tinting to my three season patio windows.
Great product with amazing results!

Second time using A1 Window Tinting. Still the same great service - fast, efficient, and friendly. They take the time to explain all the options for your window tint. Exactly what I needed at a great price.
A+ for A1! Had auto windows tinted. Guys were friendly and explained differences between products. The work was completed very quickly. I'm a little nitpicky and when I saw an imperfection in the tint cut line (it's cut by computers so no fault of A1) they happily redid that spot in just a few minutes. Will go back for any future tinting needs.

The technician showed up on time and did a beautiful job installing the opaque film to 4 glass panels in our front door. The applied film lets plenty of light in but obscures anyone at the front door and gives us privacy.

I recently had my windows tinted at A-1 Window Tinting and, as always, they did a fantastic job. After leaving, I noticed the rear windows weren’t as dark as we had discussed. I called them, and without hesitation, they cleared the schedule to get me back in right away. Their professionalism and commitment to customer satisfaction are unmatched. This is the third vehicle I’ve brought to them over the years, and I continue to make the 45-minute drive because I simply won’t go anywhere else.

Highly recommended!
