It's September, which means back to school. Why not give your car a new look too? In this article, we detail all the customization options you can consider for your car this back-to-school season.
Personalize your car with wrapping
The film wrapping is a custom-cut adhesive coating designed to give your car a new look. With a durability of up to 10 years, a wrapping isthe ideal alternative to paint for personalizing your car.
At Variance Autowe offer a wide range of films from wrapping, from matte and glossy to glitter and metallic, there's something for everyone. Our wrapping films offer a number of advantages:
- Protecting your bodywork from damage caused by the weather or others. Indeed, wrapping acts as an additional protective barrier against these hazards, mitigating their potential damage;
- Reversibility, if you wish to permanently remove wrapping or change it. With wrapping film, you can change the look of your car as often as you like, without damaging your bodywork;
- The cost of a wrapping is more economical than using paint. A film wrapping is therefore the right solution if you want to be careful with your expenses;
- Installing wrapping film is quicker than painting. What's more, you can consider installing it yourself, or with the help of someone close to you. We've put together a wealth of video content to help you every step of the way.
You can choose to apply wrapping to the whole of your car, but not only that. To personalize your vehicle, you can also focus on just one part. Depending on your wishes, this could be the hood, the rear-view mirror or the bumper. In all these cases, the same vehicle preparation and installation steps apply.
Personalize your car with tinted windows
Tinted car film, also known as solar film or tinted window film, is an excellent choice if you're thinking of personalizing your car. In addition to giving your car an elegant appearance, it offers other significant advantages, such as :
- Protection against glass breakage caused by others. If you're carrying valuables, it may be a good idea to darken your car's windows. This will considerably reduce visibility inside your vehicle. As a result, you'll be less likely to be victimized;
- Protection against heat and its consequences. On hot days, the temperature inside your car can rise very quickly, making your journeys a living hell. Tinted windows are an excellent alternative to air conditioning. As well as preventing solar energy from penetrating your cabin, it also prevents UV rays from reaching you. This is an advantage not to be overlooked. As you know, UV rays are responsible for a wide range of skin damage, from premature aging to skin cancer.
Installing a tinted window kit is easy. When you order from Variance Auto, you can choose between electrostatic or adhesive solar film.
Personalize your car with headlight film
Headlight film, as the name suggests, is applied to your car's headlights. Transparent or colored, it adds a touch of originality to your vehicle. Just like our wrapping films and our tinted window kits, our headlamp films offer other advantages in addition to personalization:
- Better visibility on the road: by applying headlamp film to your car, you protect your headlamps from the natural yellowing process. Over time, the sun's rays can tint your headlights with a yellowish film. This reduces the visibility of your headlights and can cause glare for other drivers. By applying a film, you can prevent this phenomenon from occurring;
- Better protection against damage: gravel impacts, shocks or weather damage are just some of the damage that can affect your headlamps. If your headlights are scratched or impacted, your safety may be compromised. In fact, they may not illuminate the road as well when you're driving. With headlight film, you add a protective barrier against these hazards.
When applying headlamp film, you can choose between two methods: dry application or application with soapy water. Depending on the method used, the application steps will be different, but just as simple.
Personalize your car with a Paint protection film
Film from Paint protection film, also known as PPF, protects your bodywork from damage caused by others or by any other hazard. Transparent in color, it acts as an additional protective barrier. Its advantages include :
- Preservation of paintwork thanks to the anti-UV and anti-yellowing action of the Paint protection film film;
- Preventing shocks and impacts of all kinds, whether caused by a third party or by the weather. With film from Paint protection film, these inconveniences can be minimized.
Like the wrapping film, you can choose a Paint protection film film for just one part of your car: the front panel or bumper, or for the entire surface. Whichever you choose, applying a Paint protection film film is quick and easy.
