Kia Sportage 2024 Wrapped in Film

The first thing to consider when buying a new car is additional protection. Scratches from branches, sandblasting, and minor scuffs will appear quickly, as every trip takes its toll. An unprotected body will lose its initial shine within just a few months of use, requiring polishing, but the effect of polishing is short-lived.

This is exactly why our client today decided to wrap their Kia Sportage with protective film. This attractive 2023 crossover arrived at our studio soon after leaving the dealership, so at the time of booking, it was flawless. This is the main reason why it’s important to apply protection to your car as soon as possible—after removing the film from the Kia Sportage years later, the body will still be in perfect condition.

In this review, we’ll take a closer look at the material selection process and the approach our qualified CarEngineering specialists take to carry out the work.

Protective Film for Sportage: Which Material to Choose

The first thing our specialist clarifies upon the arrival of a new car in the studio is the purpose of the protection. The Kia Sportage came in for protection, with the client wanting to focus only on the front part of the vehicle and wrap the most vulnerable elements in film.

When it comes to protection, polyurethane is the best solution. This material outperforms other body coatings like vinyl films, ceramics, and liquid glass in both effectiveness and durability.

Polyurethane film makes the Kia Sportage nearly invincible, thanks to the following features:

Thickness from 150 to 210 microns. The thicker the film, the better the barrier between the paintwork and the environment. The film resists both mechanical impacts (scratches from branches, sand, gravel) and chemical ones (corrosive chemicals, salts, gasoline, insect and bird droppings). Minor accidents, like bumps from other cars, won’t affect a Sportage wrapped in film.
High temperature resistance. The working temperature range of the material is from -60°C to +80°C. Harsh winter frosts and scorching summer heat do not affect the body protection of the Sportage. Unlike vinyl, which is more sensitive to temperature changes, polyurethane does not deform even during sudden temperature shifts from cold to heat and vice versa.
Long service life. If you choose to apply a polyurethane film to your car, you can be sure it will last a long time. The film will only need to be removed 5–8 years after wrapping your Kia Sportage. It’s a long-term investment that will certainly meet your expectations.
Self-healing scratches. The polyurethane composition allows it to heal when exposed to heat. This means that scratches that appear over time will disappear on their own; you just need to leave your Kia Sportage 2024 in the sun for a while. After self-repair, the coating will look smooth and shiny, as if the car has just been wrapped.

Additionally, a car wrapped in film requires no extra care. A rare wash at any service center is enough.

Polyurethane films come in different varieties. They differ in thickness, stretch coefficient, and finish (glossy or matte). All these parameters are selected individually for each car, depending on the client’s wishes. At CarEngineering, we strive to solve the owner’s problems and make their vehicle more comfortable to use.

Our specialists can also wrap the Kia Sportage in matte polyurethane. This film adds depth to the car’s original color and removes the gloss, giving the vehicle an interesting look that immediately catches the eye. The level of protection is the same as with glossy coatings, so the choice depends purely on your preferences.

If you want to completely change the design of your car, we offer vinyl films. While they provide significantly less protection than polyurethane, the variety of colors and textures allows you to create a unique effect on your car, including gradients, lettering, and patterns.

We use only high-quality, original films in our work. We purchase the product from official suppliers and confirm all purchases with receipts, opening a new roll right in front of the client. When you choose CarEngineering, rest assured that the wrapping of your Sportage will be top-notch.

The best option for protection is to fully wrap the Kia Sportage. In this case, the film is applied to all elements of the body, covering it from all sides, providing the maximum protection available for your car.

If you’re unsure about which package to choose, our experts are always available to help. They’ll consider all your needs and suggest the best option.

CarEngineering’s Approach to Wrapping the Sportage: Professional Service with Guaranteed Results

Reasons to choose our studio for wrapping your car in polyurethane film:

Clean workspace. To ensure no dust particles get under the film during wrapping, we regularly clean the studio. We use steam generators to maintain the necessary humidity and temperature, creating the best conditions for wrapping your Kia Sportage. Our clean space and professional equipment set our service apart from typical car washes, where conditions for this kind of work are often overlooked.
Thorough vehicle preparation. Washing the car before wrapping is essential for achieving the best results. Our technicians go through several stages to remove grease, dirt, invisible water spots, wax, and other contaminants from the body. If any parts show signs of corrosion or deep chips, we repair them before applying the film.
Use of clean water. When applying the film wet, it’s important to use quality water. Regular water with metal impurities can cause the film to cloud or yellow over time. We order purified water specifically for wrapping and use only that.
Tucking the edges. This crucial step is often overlooked by other companies. However, tucking the film around the edges improves its durability and extends its lifespan. If a part is wrapped at the edges, there’s a higher risk of peeling or tearing during the first wash. For this reason, we always tuck the edges, regardless of how long it takes. Quality and results are our top priorities.
High safety standards. Our specialists handle tools with professional precision and approach every stage with great care. With over 10 years of experience working with premium cars, our technicians continue to improve their skills.

The result of wrapping the Kia Sportage in film will leave no one indifferent. The car is reliably protected and will continue to please its owner for years to come.

Additionally, the client requested premium sound insulation for their vehicle. The services were performed in sequence, with all safety requirements met. Soundproofing is another crucial aspect for every car. A quiet and comfortable ride is incomparable to the noise that was present in the cabin due to poor factory sound treatment. If you’re also lacking acoustic comfort, come to CarEngineering, and we’ll solve this issue once and for all.
