    What’s Covered, What’s Not, and What Actually Matters.

    Paint Protection Film warranties are only valuable when you understand the difference between film failure, installation workmanship, and damage caused by real-world use.

    Manufacturer Warranty

    Manufacturers cover film defects such as yellowing, cracking, bubbling, delamination, and adhesive failure depending on the film brand and warranty terms.

    CDA Workmanship

    We stand behind our installation quality, alignment, edge work, contamination standards, and install-related concerns that appear after the film has settled.

    Owner Responsibility

    PPF still requires proper aftercare and is not bulletproof. Damage from pressure washers, harsh chemicals, automatic car washes, accidents, rock impacts, or neglect is not normally covered.

    WHAT IS
    COVERED

    Under standard manufacturer and workmanship terms.

    Yellowing or discoloration
    Cracking or crazing
    Bubbling from adhesive failure
    Delamination
    Premature film failure
    Install lifting in inspection window

    WHAT IS
    NOT COVERED

    Damage from environmental factors, neglect, or physical impact.

    Pressure washer edge damage
    Harsh chemicals or acidic stains
    Automatic car wash brush damage
    Physical impacts & deep scratches
    Water spots baked into the film
    Third-party modifications over film
    Neglect or lack of aftercare

    THE REALITY OF
    PPF PROTECTION

    Most warranty confusion happens because customers assume every mark on the film is a warranty issue.

    "PPF is sacrificial protection. Its job is to take abuse before your paint does. That means some damage is proof the film did its job — not proof the film failed."

    PROPER
    AFTERCARE

    Follow these guidelines to ensure your film lasts and your warranty remains valid.

    Avoid washing for the first 7 days
    Avoid pressure washing edges
    Hand wash when possible
    Remove bird droppings & sap quickly
    Avoid aggressive chemicals
    Schedule inspections if abnormal
