Questions, answered plainly

The ones people actually ask.

Fair question. ARK is new. It was started in Canada by engineers who had worked with leading paint protection film companies and set out to fix what they kept seeing go wrong: adhesive that fails, stretch marks, poor clarity and yellowing. We publish what we know and bracket what we don’t.

No. Film takes chips, scuffs and light scratches. Hail dents the metal underneath, and no film changes that.

No. Heat closes light swirls and scuffs in the top coat. If you can catch it with a fingernail, assume it stays.

Yellowing over time is one of the four problems ARK was engineered against. It is a film-chemistry issue, not an installer issue, and it shows first on white cars. We will publish the measured data as it exists, not before.

Yes. Ask the authorized dealer to show you a finished panel, or a sample, before you book.

Bring the car. We’ll do the rest.
