The Standard
Designed to Defend.
Engineered for the harshest environments on earth. ARK Defender is our flagship 8.5 mil paint protection film, nicknamed the "Calgary Spec" due to its ability to withstand extreme gravel and winter road conditions.
Unlike standard 8.0 mil films, Defender adds an extra half-mil of highly resilient thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) specifically formulated to disperse kinetic energy from high-velocity rock impacts. The proprietary Nano-Glass top coat ensures that despite its thickness, the optical clarity rivals bare clear coat.
Ideal for:
- ✓Highway commuting and long-distance driving
- ✓Sports cars and exotics prone to rock chips
- ✓Harsh winter climates with heavy gravel usage
- ✓Owners demanding maximum physical protection
