Zeekr 001 – Wrapping with Polyurethane Paint Protection Film

New Chinese-made cars confidently compete with European and American models. The car that arrived in our studio today rivals the iconic Mercedes in terms of comfort. The Chinese electric vehicle needs only a few final touches to become perfect.

The first service the owner chose for the Zeekr 001 in our studio was a car wrap. Our specialists applied protective armor with a unique feature: the car was wrapped in matte polyurethane and then coated with a ceramic layer. The next service was door soundproofing, an essential comfort option that no car should be without.

We’ll walk you through the entire scope of work right now and introduce you to the approach of the CarEngineering specialists for each service.

Polyurethane film for the Zeekr 001: Unique appearance and top-notch protection

When it comes to protective wrapping, we always prefer polyurethane. This film outperforms others in resisting chemical and mechanical impacts while maintaining its attractive appearance throughout its lifespan.

The following key characteristics of polyurethane ensure high-level protection for the Zeekr 001’s body:

Thickness up to 210 microns. The minimum thickness of polyurethane matches the maximum for vinyl—150 microns. That’s why vinyl is used for styling rather than protection. Polyurethane can withstand constant scratches from branches, sandblasting, road tar, stone impacts, and minor accidents. Chemically, the material is resistant to cleaning agents, reagents, oxidizers, organic remains of insects, bird droppings, oils, gasoline, and other harmful substances.
Temperature resistance. The Zeekr 001 wrapped in film is equally well protected year-round. Temperature fluctuations, severe frost, or summer heat do not affect the film’s properties. Even when driving abruptly from a warm space into cold air, the film won’t crack or deform.
Self-healing capability. Polyurethane has a unique property—it can return to its original state when heated. In practice, this works like this: when the film is exposed to sunlight, it starts to heal any scratches that have appeared. As a result, the coating becomes smooth again, as if the Zeekr 001 was just wrapped.
Durability of at least 5 years. The maximum lifespan of the film can reach 8-10 years, depending on the manufacturer’s recommendations. During this period, you can forget about unwanted scratches and use the car without fear of damaging the body. The Zeekr 001’s paintwork remains as it was at the time of wrapping. Since our studio pays great attention to preparing the body to perfection, after the film is removed years later, the car will still look impressive. In any case, we recommend wrapping the car immediately after purchase to prevent significant wear from appearing on the body.

Matte polyurethane film for the Zeekr 001

The matte film chosen by the client for the Zeekr 001 is also polyurethane. In addition to its excellent protective characteristics, it allows for a unique exterior look. Cars with matte finishes are extremely rare, which is why this design always grabs the attention of passersby and other car owners. Moreover, the matte finish enhances the contours of the body, emphasizing its lines and shifting focus from the gloss to the depth of the color. Once you see a car in a matte finish, it’s hard to look away.

It’s also worth noting that glossy polyurethane was used for parts like the piano black trim on the Zeekr 001. This service was selected separately by the client to provide additional protection to all small elements and reduce wear during use.

Ceramic coating: An excellent addition to wrapping the Zeekr 001 in matte film

For all customers who choose a matte film, we offer a ceramic top coat. Here are the benefits of this service:

Depth of color. Matte film softens the original color, and the ceramic coating further enhances the richness. The result is a pleasant, velvety hue.
Water-repellent properties. Matte film tends to retain liquids and dirt, meaning you’ll need to wash the car more often to maintain its appearance. With ceramic, water slides off immediately, leaving no trace on the body. The car looks well-maintained and always clean.
Protection from UV and chemicals. The coating performs excellently against cleaning agents, oxidizers, organic residue, and other chemicals. Additionally, the ceramic coating protects the body from fading in the sun, perfectly complementing the properties of the polyurethane.

Without the ceramic layer, the film will quickly become dirty and lose its neat appearance. Matte finishes also tend to accumulate fingerprints, which is another reason to consider a ceramic coating when wrapping the Zeekr 001. The only downside is that ceramic coatings require more care in use. Washing the car on a three-phase wash is recommended to avoid damaging the protective layer.

Attention to every detail: Wrapping the Zeekr 001

At CarEngineering, we provide professional car upgrades, and our work is approached with all due care and consideration for every detail. The polyurethane wrapping material for the Zeekr 001 is always stored under the correct conditions, and the studio maintains cleanliness and the right temperature.

Before applying the film, the specialists always perform a wash and recommend a polish to remove minor transport scratches. It’s important that the material is applied to a perfectly smooth surface without any damage or corrosion. We eliminate all defects beforehand because quality is our top priority when providing this service.

Door soundproofing: Another valuable service

In our studio, you can also get Premium soundproofing for your car. The owner of the Zeekr 001 wanted to improve the acoustic comfort of the interior but opted only for door soundproofing due to certain circumstances. The doors were soundproofed according to our premium standards, using vibration insulation, membranes, and sound absorbers. The main benefit of this service is reducing vibrations from the metal, which improves the sound of the car’s acoustics. The echo is reduced, and the music sounds louder and clearer. Additional benefits include a slight increase in cabin quietness and a more pleasant door-closing feel due to the added material weight.

For those who want to completely eliminate noise, we recommend full soundproofing for the Zeekr 001. Its advantages include:

Noise reduction by up to 5 decibels or more, 90% better than the factory soundproofing.
Improved thermal insulation.
Enhanced frame rigidity.
Elimination of most noises, vibrations, and squeaks.

Complete soundproofing provides maximum comfort for both the driver and passengers, shifting focus from unwanted noise to the car’s features: the modern interior, comfortable seats, and various multimedia options.
