Why Our DIY Kits Are Built Differently (and Why That Matters for You)
The DIY wrap and paint protection film market has exploded over the last few years. More people want to protect their vehicles, customize them, and save thousands compared to shop installs. That’s a good thing.
But not all DIY kits are created for the same person.
Some are adapted from professional shop patterns. Some are mass-produced overseas. Some are designed for experienced installers and simply repackaged for consumers.
Our kits are different by design, not by accident.
Here’s exactly how—and why that matters if you’re an everyday car owner, not a professional wrapper.
Designed In-House From Day One (Not Adapted, Not Resold)
Every kit we sell starts the same way: with a real vehicle in our shop.
We don’t buy pattern libraries. We don’t resize shop files and call them “DIY-friendly.” We physically scan vehicles, build patterns from scratch, and refine them panel by panel.
Each design goes through dozens of revisions. And not just by experienced installers.
We intentionally test panels with team members who are not professional wrappers. Why? Because if someone with no wrap background can install a panel confidently, we know we’re on the right track.
This process allows us to:
-
Reduce unnecessary tension points
-
Add forgiveness where beginners struggle most
-
Simplify alignment without sacrificing coverage
-
Design panels around real-world install mistakes, not ideal conditions
We are not designing for shops or wrappers who install cars every day.
We are designing for the everyday person who wants to protect their car and feel proud doing it.
Built for Beginners, Not Professionals
Professional installers work fast. They stretch aggressively. They accept risk because they’ve done it hundreds of times. They use a blade on the car effortlessly.
That’s not most people.
Our kits are intentionally engineered with beginners in mind:
-
Manageable panel sizes, pre-cut to fit edge-to-edge with no cutting
-
Logical install order
-
Reduced stretch zones
-
Clear visual landmarks
- Minimal to no disassembly
-
Margin where it actually helps (not where it creates problems)
The goal is not perfection on the first pass. That’s why we give you a practice kit so you can learn before you really get into it.
The goal is confidence, learning, and a result you’re proud of.
Premium Film Only—No Exceptions
A kit is only as good as the material it’s made from.
We exclusively use top-tier films, including Avery Dennison and our own in-house line, Boring PPF. These films are chosen for consistency, clarity, durability, and DIY-friendly handling characteristics.
If you have a specific brand preference, we can accommodate that as well. Just reach out to us at [email protected].
What matters most is this:
-
No mystery materials
-
No downgraded film for “DIY pricing”
-
No cutting corners on the part that actually touches your paint
You’re protecting one of your biggest investments. The film should reflect that.
Real Support From Real People (In-House, Always)
When you reach out for help, you’re not talking to a script or a third-party call center.
We design, cut, pack, and ship everything from our warehouse in Chattanooga. The same people who helped build the kit are the people answering your questions.
That means:
-
Real-world install advice
-
Honest guidance when something goes wrong
-
Support that understands the exact panel you’re working on
Support is not an afterthought for us. It’s part of the product.
Step-by-Step Courses That Install With You
Instructions matter just as much as materials.
That’s why every kit is backed by free, structured, easy-to-follow courses that walk you through:
-
Proper prep and wash
-
Surface decontamination
-
Solution mixing
-
Panel-by-panel installation
-
Common mistakes and how to fix them
-
Aftercare and maintenance
You’re not just watching a highlight reel. You’re installing alongside us, step by step, with real explanations of why things work the way they do.
Everything You Need—Nothing You Don’t
A DIY kit shouldn’t send you to five different stores before you start.
Our kits include everything we use in our own shop, because we believe the install experience should be complete from the moment you open the box.
That includes:
-
Pre-cut, sealed film
-
A dedicated practice kit so you can learn before touching your car
-
Squeegee set
-
Clay bar
-
Nitrile gloves
-
Slip solution packets with exact soap ratios
-
Spray bottles
-
70% isopropyl alcohol
-
Microfiber towels
-
Wash mitt
Every item is tested by us, used by us, and included for a reason. Nothing is filler. Nothing is guesswork.
Education Beyond the Kit
We don’t stop once your order ships.
We run a dedicated YouTube channel focused on education—how to protect, customize, fix, and maintain your vehicle. From beginner mistakes to advanced techniques, our content is designed to make you better over time, not just sell you a product once.
Because an educated customer is a confident one—and confidence is what makes DIY rewarding.
The Bottom Line
Our DIY kits aren’t designed to be the cheapest option on the market.
They’re designed to be the most supportive, most beginner-friendly, and most complete way to protect your vehicle at home—without sacrificing material quality or real support.
If you want a box of film, there are plenty of options out there.
If you want a system that’s been tested, refined, and built around people just like you—this is why we do what we do.
And why we stand behind every kit we ship.
We’re proud to say we have over 55,000 customers and counting who have successfully installed our DIY kits at home. We can’t wait to help you customize and protect your ride too.
