FlexiShield WSH Pro — the thickest PPF film

The thickest FlexiShield film: 216 µm, 12-year manufacturer warranty. For a car that covers a lot of motorway kilometres, or one you keep for years.

A stone chip that flies up from the car ahead of you on the motorway doesn't wait for the film's warranty to run out. It can happen any time — the first week, or years down the line — and the length of the warranty makes no difference either way. The more motorway kilometres a car covers, the more of these hits it takes, and the same goes for a car you plan to keep for a long time: the longer the film stays on the car, the more of them it catches over that time.

FlexiShield WSH Pro is the thickest film we install: 216 µm and a 12-year manufacturer warranty, both the highest in the whole FlexiShield range. We install FlexiShield film under a certification issued by the manufacturer abroad. We recommend WSH Pro for a car that covers a lot of motorway kilometres, or one you plan to keep for years — the film stays on the car for the whole time you own it, it doesn't get swapped along with it.

How it differs from the neighbouring lines

One step down is FlexiShield WSH: 203 µm and a 10-year manufacturer warranty. The base of the range is FlexiShield BHP: 191 µm and an 8-year manufacturer warranty. The difference between WSH Pro and WSH is 13 microns of film and two extra years of warranty; between WSH Pro and BHP it's 25 microns and four years. A micron (µm) is a unit of film thickness — more microns means a film that's harder for a stone to punch through, and WSH Pro has the most of any line we offer.

Where it has a limit

Even the thickest film in the range doesn't fix anything. Whatever is on the paint right now — a scratch, a swirl mark, faded colour — stays underneath it exactly as the film found it. The film also isn't completely invisible: it has thickness, and up close, at the edge of a panel, say along the bonnet edge, you can tell where it ends. Thickness doesn't remove the risk, it only reduces it: even 216 microns is still thinner than a stone that hits the car hard enough. The manufacturer's warranty also only covers defects in the film from production, not what everyday driving does to it — day-to-day wear is a question of film thickness more than warranty length. We give a two-year warranty on the work.

When to choose a different route

If you're changing cars in a few years and don't drive hard, you won't use up the longest warranty anyway. FlexiShield WSH will do, or the base FlexiShield BHP. If you want a matte look instead of gloss, that's FlexiShield BHP MAT — a question of finish, not thickness, covered in a matte look without respraying. If it's not the whole car that concerns you but just one hard-worn spot, partial film coverage is enough. If you want ceramic protection added on top of the film, that's on the ceramic surface protection page. The full range of coverage options is on the PPF film page.
