How to choose the thickness of the invisible car film?

Car owners often have questions about how thick the invisible car film should be?

We need to start with the measurement unit of invisible car film thickness.

The concept of Mil: The thickness of the invisible car film is measured in mil. Mil "is a very small unit of measurement, for example, the thickness of a regular A4 paper is approximately equivalent to a thickness of 4mil, and the thickness of an invisible car film of 8mil is equal to the thickness of two A4 papers.

 

The common invisible car film thicknesses on the market are 6.5mil, 7.5mil, 8.5mil, and 10mil, and XPERT invisible car films have corresponding models of products. There are occasional products with a thickness of 9.5 mils available on the market.

Is the thicker the invisible car film, the better?

Not entirely!

 

Undoubtedly, thicker car films have stronger resistance to the outside world, such as better protection against scratches, scratches, and small stone impacts. Additionally, in terms of warranty, thick invisible car films generally have a longer warranty period!

However, under the same material, the thicker the invisible car film, the greater the hardness of the film, making it difficult to adhere to the car paint during construction, increasing the difficulty of construction, and increasing the risk of edge warping in the later stage.

How to choose the thickness of the invisible car film?

Mainly based on the driving needs of the car owner, if you want to protect the car paint, choose a regular thickness XPERT 7.5mil invisible car film; If you frequently run on highways and deal with other complex driving environments, choose the XPERT invisible car film with a thickness of 10mil to give you more sense of security!

In short, the invisible car film that can truly protect the car paint is the good car film. In addition to thickness, the corrosion resistance, scratch resistance, and yellowing resistance of the car film are more important.
