What kind of film is the car film provided by 4S stores?

The film provided by 4S stores is generally window film, but the quality may not be particularly good. You can check the quality of the film given by the 4S store. If it's good, you can use it. If not, it's better to go to a car beauty center and choose a suitable film for application. The benefits of full-car film application: 1. Privacy protection. After applying car film, it usually achieves the effect where the outside of the car cannot see inside clearly, but the inside can see outside clearly. This is quite good for privacy protection. However, when applying film to the front windshield, you must not choose one with poor transparency, as it may affect driving safety. 2. Enhanced aesthetics. A car with film looks better than one without, which is why many people choose to apply film. 3. Good heat insulation and sun protection. After applying full-car film, because the film can block a large amount of heat generated by UV rays, it provides effective heat insulation and sun protection. 4. Safety and explosion-proof. Due to the quality of the film and its adhesive layer, the glass gains excellent protection against shattering, preventing harm to passengers inside the car.
The car window film provided by 4S shops when purchasing a vehicle is usually basic heat-insulating film, mainly for UV protection and heat reduction, made of PET material coating in a low-cost version. They collaborate with manufacturers for private labeling with tight cost control, prone to bubbling or fading, with light transmittance typically between 30-50%. The privacy effect is average but sufficient. I remember the first time using it, the car interior wasn’t as hot after parking in summer, but the edges started peeling after a year and needed reapplication. It’s advisable to inquire about the brand or grade of the film offered when buying a car, not just opting for it because it’s free. If the budget allows, upgrading to nano-ceramic film is recommended for better heat insulation and longevity, as glass film relates to driving comfort and sun protection safety.
