Hyundai Santa Fe – PPF wrap

Hyundai Santa Fe – Paint protection PPF film

Korean car brands today are on par with European leaders like Audi, Mercedes, BMW, and other foreign brands. This time, car enthusiasts have taken a liking to the new mid-size crossover, the Hyundai Santa Fe. The sharp body lines, bold silhouette, and integrated lighting unambiguously indicate the car’s luxury and sturdiness. Every detail of the Hyundai shines mesmerizingly. Unfortunately, this won’t last forever. During use, the car may suffer from various damages, which will affect its condition.

While driving, sand, tree branches, or flying stones from other cars’ tires can hit and scratch it. Additionally, car wash chemicals negatively affect the car’s paintwork. That’s why a customer has come to CarEngineering to fully protect the Hyundai Santa Fe’s body with an anti-gravel film. Our specialists have selected a matte polyurethane film for the car, which not only provides excellent protection but also adds uniqueness to its appearance.

At CarEngineering, we use only high-quality materials for any services provided. Films from well-known manufacturers such as STEK, Hexis, and LLumar are used, all offering quality materials. The quality of the Hyundai Santa Fe’s protection is guaranteed by our service, with all work being performed by employees with at least 20 years of experience.

Features of Wrapping the Hyundai Santa Fe with Different Materials

At CarEngineering, we offer two types of film coatings: vinyl and polyurethane. The choice of material depends on the client’s priorities.

Vinyl is recommended if you want to change the design. There are many different colors and textures of the film available: from solid colors to pearlescent and chameleon effects. This film allows you to fully express your creativity and design ideas.

Vinyl film provides only minimal protection against factors such as sand, bird droppings, tree branches, insect marks, chemicals, and their aggressive components. However, it will not withstand flying stones or minor accidents.

For full protection, we recommend wrapping the Hyundai Santa Fe in a polyurethane film. This film has a thickness ranging from 150 to 210 microns, which is enough to protect the body of the Hyundai Santa Fe not only from minor damages but also from minor accidents, key scratches, or stones hitting the body. With a polyurethane film, the Hyundai Santa Fe will be virtually invulnerable.

Polyurethane’s advantages also include its longevity. The material will protect the car from damage for up to 10 years of active use. In comparison, vinyl will need to be replaced within 2-5 years.

After removing the polyurethane film, you can easily replace it with a new one and continue driving for another 10 years, making this type of protection a long-term investment. Polyurethane film can also be colored, though the range of shades is not as wide. Manufacturers mainly offer matte and transparent film options, both providing the same level of protection. Interestingly, matte film can change the standard look of the car and add new accents. This type of film highlights the car’s edges and makes the paint color appear softer.

Compared to vinyl, polyurethane is resistant to extreme temperature changes and has a unique feature: self-healing. Under the influence of heat, any scratches that appeared on the car during use will disappear. You just need to leave the car in the sun, and the anti-gravel film will look as good as new. Thanks to these advantages, the customer decided to protect the Hyundai Santa Fe with polyurethane film.

Full Car Wrapping

If you want to fully protect your vehicle’s body, we recommend a full wrapping package. A complete wrap will shield your Hyundai Santa Fe from unwanted damage on all sides. The entire body is covered, except for the piano black trim and rear lights. Wrapping these specific parts is offered as a separate service upon customer request.

While the full wrapping package may cost more, it also provides a higher level of protection. Wrapping all parts of the vehicle is more practical and reliable. The risk of damage to the body is significantly reduced, as it’s fully protected and experiences minimal wear, potentially saving you both time and money on future repairs.

CarEngineering Studio also offers an additional service for partial or full wraps of Hyundai Santa Fe—antichrome. This involves covering the chrome details of the car, such as window frames, grilles, badges, and logos, with black vinyl. Antichrome allows you to protect more parts from damage and corrosion, and it’s also a great option for those who simply prefer the look of a vehicle without chrome elements.

Features of Wrapping the Hyundai Santa Fe at CarEngineering

Our staff is dedicated to providing high-quality service, so even before the car arrives, the necessary tools and a new roll of quality film are prepared, and the workspace is thoroughly cleaned. The importance of this step is easy to explain—any speck of dust or dirt can get under the film during application and ruin the result.

After the car arrives at the studio, we first remove certain body parts: the bumper, moldings, door handles, headlights, and mirrors. This allows us to clean the parts more thoroughly and apply the film to hard-to-reach places.

Before starting the service, the car is washed in several stages using quality chemicals and special clay to completely clean the body of any contaminants. This meticulous attention to cleanliness ensures a high-quality wrap.

Once the car is clean, the protective film is carefully applied to the body. We wrap each part separately, starting with larger parts and then moving to smaller, more difficult areas. To remove excess air under the film and ensure it adheres well, our staff uses soft smoothing squeegees.

One of the advantages of wrapping at CarEngineering is the folding method. After applying the film to the body, our experts trim the excess film with a few millimeters of overlap to ensure proper folding. The film is tucked inside the part, in a spot protected from external interference, greatly improving the quality and longevity of the wrap. If the film is folded, there is no risk of peeling or damage. Without this technique, the film can peel off, especially after repeated exposure to high-pressure water, requiring re-wrapping of the part.

Once the wrapping is finished, the car is left to dry until the next day. Before handing the car back to the client, we inspect the body to ensure the quality of the service. At the final meeting, our specialists report on the completed work and show the results. The handover of the car to the client is not the last visit to our studio. A few weeks after wrapping the Hyundai Santa Fe, we invite all clients for a follow-up inspection of the body by our specialists. As part of post-service, CarEngineering also provides a free wash for the Hyundai before the inspection.

The masters at CarEngineering approach their work with care and responsibility. When you bring your car to us for any service, you can be confident in the quality and results. All work is performed in accordance with the client’s wishes, with a focus on the outcome.
