Bubbling is very common as Window Film is installed with water & a soapy solution. As the material finishes curing the bubbling will slowly go away.
- Bubbling will usually go away after 3-5 days if weather permits.
- If after 2 weeks you still notice bubbling, contact us to have us go over any areas that did not properly settle.
Suntek Ceramic & Suntek Cxp both offer high Infrared (Heat) rejection properties. Please see our Window Film Page for more info on heat rejection and different benefits.
No.

Yes. Some shops will call it a “Bra” but the professional terms is Paint Protection Film.
Though not necessary as we will take the necessary precautions before installing the material, it does not hurt.
- If you wash the vehicle make sure to self wash with extra care. No abrasive car washes, please.
- Leave the vehicle out in the sun as much as possible. The sun will help cure any bubbling or imperfection.
Bubbling is very common as the material is installed with water & a soapy solution. As the material finishes curing the bubbling will slowly go away.
- Bubbling will usually go away after 3-5 days if weather permits.
- If after 2 weeks you still notice bubbling, contact us to have us go over any areas that did not properly settle.
Yes. If your film was properly installed by any Tint shop then even a car wash that uses brushes shouldn’t bother the material.
- Though we still recommend a brushless or non abrasive car wash as it is still bad for your paint.
On the Suntek Reaction film you will notice it offers a Hydrophobic Top Coat. This is just a fancy way of saying Ceramic Coat or that water does not stick to the surface and begins to bead off. Giving a very sleek surface and finish.
A Kit bra or PreCut bra is Paint Protection film fed through a cutting software that is then pieced together on your vehicle. Kit Packages tend to be a little quicker, cheaper, and saves on material for the shop. We DO NOT offer Precut kit packages at Ahns Custom.
Instead, we offer Bulk installs. A much cleaner and less “seamed in” installation that will look more factory than a PreCut kit would. Even though PreCut kits tend to be cheaper our prices are Very similar & competitive for the extra coverage you will receive.
- Seamed In: The material is clear and at the end of each cut or where two pieces of material meet are what we call seams. Seams are easily noticeable and have higher chance of peeling or damage.
Make sure to ask what kind of Paint Protection installation method they use.
Matte Paint Protection is this beautiful gem in the industry that has got more and more attention as it will take your factory color and actually protect and change the finish of your paint to a Matte finish.
If your vehicle has Matte Paint already you can now protect it just like you would with regular PPF.
- Please note if you plan to change your gloss paint to Matte then you will need to cover the entirety of the vehicle with Paint Protection. Which can cost more then a regular Package.

Vinyl wraps typically have 3-5 year fade warranty on the film and Ahns Custom offers a lifetime warranty on Craftsmanship.

Chrome Deletes: 1 – 2 Days as each job permits.
Panel Wraps: 1 Day
Jobs can vary so make sure to contact us for proper evaluations.
Though not necessary as we will take the necessary precautions before installing the material, it does not hurt.
A chrome delete typically means you are trying to get rid of all (or some of) the chrome on your vehicle.
- Typically along the windows trim, front grill, door handles, etc.
Our Wrappers will apply whichever material (usually Matte Black, Satin Black, or Gloss Black) you wish along those areas without damaging or tampering any of the seals or paint of your vehicle.

Vinyl wrap is actually a versatile piece of material that does not harm the vehicles finish underneath.
After you are finished with the vehicle or that color choice you can actually just peel off and go back to the original color.
Wrap is also a Perfect solution for chrome deleting because wrap stick extremely well to that particular surface. Unlike paint on chrome, wrap will adhere for the life of the vehicle.
Vinyl wrap comes in plenty of colors and finishes.
Matte – Satin – Gloss – Chrome – Color Shifting – Carbon fiber – Camouflage
Brands we Offer:
- Inozetek
- APA
- Oracle
- 3M
- Avery Dennison
- KPMF
The simple answer is No. If you wanted to match a door or fender without painting you will not be able to match them exact.
Colors in vinyl wrap are their own Unique finishes.
Just like a Blue from Toyota vs a Blue from Honda. Different.
