The craft

Seventy percent film, thirty percent installation. Great film and expert hands go together.

Certificates for the three standards GLOWSUN helped draft

70% film · 30% installation

Written into the standards

Why can GLOWSUN install every car well? Because our way of working is in the rulebook. GLOWSUN is a drafting unit of three industry standards, so installation has a clear standard to follow, from the climate in the dust-free bay to cutting, heat shaping and edge tucking. More than 2,000 stores follow one specification, not one technician’s feel, so quality is the same in every city.

  1. Technical Specification for Installation of Automotive Paint Protection Film
  2. Technical Specification for Installation of Automotive Body Colour-Change Film
  3. Technical Specification for Installation of Automotive Window Film

Six steps for every PPF job

01

Premium detailing

The car is washed until no grit, oil or residue remains. Dull or scratched paint is polished and waxed, then every trace of wax is cleaned off.

02

Digital pattern cutting

Each panel is cut from a digital pattern that follows the body lines, so the bonnet film matches the bonnet before it ever touches the car.

03

Vehicle wrapping

Technicians lay each piece over the body and take care at every step. A full wrap takes two to three days, depending on the size of the car.

04

Heat shaping

The film is stretched to follow each curve of the body, so it bonds closely to the shape of every part.

05

Edge tucking

The margin left on each piece is wrapped around the edges, then sealed with a steam or heat gun so every edge stays tight.

06

Post-installation check

Every panel is inspected before handover. Any bubble or lifted edge is put right on the spot.

A standard installation system

Dust-free bays with water purification, mist dust suppression as standard, and digital cutting for 98% of car models with millimetre accuracy, so no blade touches your panels.

Enclosed dust-free bay

Built to the “zero dust point” installation standard, with mist dust suppression as standard.

High-precision cutting plotter

Digital patterns cover 98% of car models with millimetre accuracy and 99% precision, so no blade touches the paint.

Soft-water filtration

Filters impurities out of the water used during installation.

Constant-temperature baking room

Speeds up curing, so the car is ready for the motorway as soon as it leaves.

6700K light box

A bright soft-light box at 6700K shows every detail of the work.

A certified GLOWSUN technician at work

Certified technicians

Every GLOWSUN technician completes professional training and passes both a theory exam and a practical installation assessment before certification. Technicians are rated on an official scale where seven stars is the maximum.

Tested in public

Still unsure whether PPF or window tint is worth it? GLOWSUN and Dongchedi ran three professional challenges with paired test cars, and GLOWSUN became the first brand in China to pass every indicator on Dongchedi’s platform.

Infrared heat challenge

Infrared heat challenge

Under the same infrared lamp, the reading fell from 1,337 W/m² behind untreated glass to 26 W/m² behind GLOWSUN film.

Night glare challenge

Night glare challenge

Measured high-beam glare dropped from about 100 lux to about 60 lux once GLOWSUN film was fitted.

PPF scratch challenge

PPF scratch challenge

Wire-brush scratches on GLOWSUN PPF recovered with heat, side by side with an unprotected panel.
