How Our Windshield Protection Film Works

Our Windshield Protection Film is a durable, multi-layer polyurethane material that is professionally applied to your windshield. It absorbs and disperses the energy from road debris impacts, significantly reducing the chances of chips and cracks. Unlike traditional glass coatings or sprays, this protective film provides long-lasting, reliable protection without altering the look or performance of your windshield. It’s ideal for all types of vehicles:

  • Daily commuters who frequently drive on highways
  • Performance and luxury vehicle owners who want to preserve their car’s pristine condition
  • Off-road and adventure enthusiasts who navigate gravel, dirt, and rocky terrains
  • Fleet and commercial vehicle owners looking to reduce maintenance costs

How long does the film last? Does it come with a warranty?

XPEL Windshield Protection Film typically lasts between 3 to 5 years, depending on environmental conditions and proper maintenance. Regular cleaning and care can help maximize its lifespan, ensuring continued protection and performance. It’s also covered by XPEL’s manufacturer warranty for 1 year or 12,000 miles: whichever occurs first.

1. INITIAL CARE

  • Post-Installation: After installation, avoid washing your vehicle for at least 48 hours to allow the film to properly adhere and cure. XPEL also recommends purchasing and installing a new set of premium windshield wiper blades.

2. WASHING GUIDELINES

  • Hand Washing: We recommend hand washing your vehicle using XPEL Wash Solution or Foam Soap and a soft microfiber mitt. Rinse thoroughly with water.
  • Pressure Washing: Keep the nozzle at least 36 inches (1 meter) away from the film when using a pressure washer. Avoid spraying directly at the edges of the film to prevent lifting. We recommend using a 40-degree nozzle.
  • Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use strong chemicals, solvents, or abrasive cleaning tools on the film, as these can damage the protective coating.
  • Drying: Always dry the vehicle with a clean, soft microfiber towel to avoid water spots. Avoid letting the vehicle air-dry in direct sunlight.

3. STAIN AND CONTAMINANT REMOVAL

  • Bird Droppings & Bug Splatter: Remove contaminants like bird droppings and bug splatter as soon as possible to prevent staining. Use warm water and a pH neutral soap (XPEL Wash Solution or Foam Soap). In an emergency on-the-go you can apply XPEL SiO2 Waterless Wash to the affected area and wipe off with microfiber towel.
  • Tree Sap & Tar: For stubborn contaminants like tree sap and tar, use a 50/50 Water & Isopropyl Alcohol in a spray bottle. Spray the mixture directly onto microfiber towel and wipe the affected area.

4. WINDSHIELD FILM MAINTENANCE

  • Regular Cleaning: To maintain the clarity and appearance of the film, clean the film regularly with XPEL Wash Solution or Foam Soap. For an all-in-one solution, the XPEL TPU Windshield Protection Film Maintenance Kit (M1291, sold separately) includes XPEL Waterless Wash, Waterspot Remover, and Glass Cleaner.
  • Avoid Waxing: Do not apply waxes or polishes that contain dyes, abrasive compounds, or solvents directly onto the film.

5. WINTER CARE

  • Snow and Ice Removal: Avoid using sharp tools or metal scrapers that could damage the film. Govered or garaged parking is recommended

6. IMPORTANT NOTES

  • Wiper Blades: We recommend replacing your windshield wiper blades regularly to prevent scratches or damage to the film.

7. WPF RESTORE

  • XPEL WPF Restore Application: WPF Restore enhances the hydrophobic properties of the film, ensuring optimal
    performance and longevity.

Application Instructions For WPF RESTORE:

1. Ensure your XPEL WINDSHIELD PROTECTION FILM is clean and completely dry.
2. Shake the bottle of WPF RESTORE well before use.
3. Lightly mist the product onto the windshield, working one section at a time. Divide the windshield into 4 sections for even coverage.
4. Using a clean microfiber towel, spread the product evenly across each section. Buff until the film has a smooth, clear finish.

By following these guidelines and applying the XPEL WPF Restore at the 6-month mark, you can ensure the longevity and performance of your XPEL Windshield Film, keeping your vehicle protected and looking its best.

SharpShield Exterior Windshield Coating

SharpShield liquid glass protection isn’t your average windshield protection product. SharpShield’s liquid formula uses nano-chemistry to actively work on the underlying issues that cause vehicle windshield damageーspecifically, the structure of the glass itself. That is precisely why SharpShield nano-liquid windshield protector provides some of the best windshield chip protection.

Poor visibility causes over a million wrecks each year in the U.S. alone. Wet weather, glare, pitted windshields and darkness all compromise vision while driving. Small rocks and road debris cause windshield chips and cracks that can put the occupants of the vehicle at risk.

Driving with a pitted or cracked windshield is dangerous, yet many drivers put off repairs due to the cost. That’s why preventing chips and cracks in the first place is the safest and most affordable option for drivers.

SharpShield liquid glass protection not only improves visibility. It actually strengthens windshield glass and greatly reduces windshield pitting.

  • Nano-liquid formula for superior windshield chip protection
  • Increases nighttime vision up to 35% while reducing glare

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT SHARPSHIELD

Sharpshield windshield protection

SharpShield is a nano-chemical polymer suspended in water. When applied to windshields or vehicle windows, the liquid glass solution chemically binds to the silica content in the glass. It then turns solid and transparent as the water content evaporates. Windshield glass has many imperfections that can only be seen microscopically. The chemical bond increases the surface integrity of the glass by filling in the imperfections.

Headlights and streetlights refract light off of the imperfections in the windshield creating a “halo” effect and glare. SharpShield minimizes the imperfections which reduces the glare up to 35%.

Yes. New windshields will potentially last longer as the formula offers increased protection from the start. Older windshields will benefit from the protective coating, repair of imperfections, chips, and window pitting prevention.

SharpShield is formulated to bond to silica in glass and is not affected by detergents, wiper blades or minor abrasion. This makes the bond last up to four years.
