Made for
Cars first. Aircraft and boats too. Built for extreme weather conditions.
For installers
Carry ARK in your shop.
Join the authorized dealers who install it around the world, with the warranty behind you. Four things first, so you have them before you read anything else.
Apply to carry ARK- We sell direct
- We also sell to car owners: pre-cut kits, film by the yard and full rolls. Most of what we sell is rolls to professional install shops, and we’d rather you heard the rest from us.
- No favourites
- We name no dealer on this site, so none is featured over another. A car owner who asks us is matched to an authorized dealer by a person, not by a directory.
- Cutting
- No in-house cutting software. Most shops buy rolls and cut them on their own plotter and software; pre-cut kits are available too. The cut spec is published here as it is measured.
- Where you can sell
- Nothing in writing on where you can sell, and we’d rather say so.
The case
What you get, and what you don’t.
Warranty backing
10 years on every film. A covered claim pays for replacement film, and the labour to take off the failed film and fit the new one, and the warranty moves with the car when it is sold.
Certified
It means one thing: a shop is authorised to install ARK, with warranty backing.
Training
Being scheduled. Dates go up when they are real.
Who built it
A group of engineers who worked with leading paint protection film companies.
Built against the call-backs every installer knows: adhesive that fails, stretch marks, poor clarity and yellowing over time.
In the box
The roll label.
The Defender label prints thickness, finish, warranty, lot and date, so a roll traces back to its batch when a claim comes in.
How you cut it
Your plotter, our numbers.
No in-house cutting software. Most shops buy rolls and cut them on their own plotter and software; pre-cut kits are available too. The cut spec is published here as it is measured. A bracket is a value we have not measured yet; we will not print a plausible one in its place, because it would be cut into a customer’s bumper.

The ladder
Three rungs. The bar for each is being written.
The rungs are named. What it takes to reach each one, and what changes when you do, is not written down yet, so it shows as pending rather than as a number that sounds right.
