The CDA Corvette Installation Process

Applying Paint Protection Film to a Corvette is an art form. The sharp angles, deep vents, and complex curves require a level of skill and patience that volume shops simply cannot provide.

At CDA Auto Styling, we have developed a proprietary 7-Stage Installation Process. We don't rush. We don't cut corners. We treat every Corvette as if it were going to a Concours d'Elegance.

From the initial decontamination wash to the final edge-wrapping and curing, here is exactly how we achieve a flawless, invisible installation.

Even brand new Corvettes have embedded iron particles and minor swirl marks from the factory. We perform a chemical iron removal, a clay bar treatment, and a machine polish to ensure the paint is 100% perfect before we lock it under the film.

To hide the seams, we safely remove badges, side markers, and trim. We use advanced plotting software to cut the film, but we extend the edges by a quarter-inch so we can wrap the film deep behind the body panels.

The film is applied in our climate-controlled, well-lit installation bays using a specialized gel solution. Our technicians squeegee the moisture out and meticulously wrap every edge, using heat to lock the film in place.

The car sits in our facility to cure. As the moisture evaporates, the film tightens. We perform a final multi-point inspection, checking every edge and corner before handing the keys back to you.
