What areas does the full car film mentioned by 4S stores cover?

Full car film refers to the application of window films on the vehicle's glass surfaces, including the front windshield, rear windshield, and the windows on all four doors. The benefits of full car film are as follows: 1. Enhanced anti-shatter performance: Automotive anti-shatter solar films can improve the safety level of the vehicle in case of accidents, minimizing the likelihood of glass breakage and reducing potential harm to passengers. 2. Improved air conditioning efficiency: Automotive anti-shatter solar films can block 50%-95% of heat, effectively reducing the use of car air conditioning, saving fuel, and enhancing air conditioning efficiency. 3. Protection against harmful UV rays: While UV radiation has sterilizing effects, it can also damage human skin. For passengers, prolonged periods in a stationary position during long rides make them more susceptible to UV damage, leading to skin conditions. Sun protection films can effectively block UV rays and protect the skin.
When I bought the car, I inquired about the full-body film at the 4S dealership. Essentially, it's a paint protection layer applied to the exterior surface to prevent scratches and damage from road debris. Key areas covered include the hood, front bumper, side mirrors, wheel arches, and door edges—spots most vulnerable to road hazards. The film is made of transparent plastic, adhered with professional-grade adhesive, offering UV and oxidation resistance. I find it highly beneficial: it keeps the paint glossy, prevents stone chips on highways, and makes car washes worry-free. However, always inspect before application—some shops cut corners by partially covering only critical areas while marketing it as 'full-body.' Insist on even coverage from roof to undercarriage, avoiding skipped spots for longer durability and easier maintenance. Ultimately, it's a long-term investment to avoid costly touch-ups later. Mine’s been on for nearly three years, and the paint still looks brand new.
