Care & Maintenance Tips (All Scorpion Films)
-
Wait 3–5 days before rolling windows up/down. Avoid scrubbing too hard during curing.
-
Use mild soap and water with a soft microfiber cloth or squeegee. Avoid ammonia-based (e.g., Windex) cleaners.
-
Don’t use abrasive tools—no razor blades, rough sponges, or strong solvents.
-
Inspect and reapply sealants if damage occurs at edges.
-
Expect lifespan of ~8–10 years outdoors for carbon/ceramic; dyed films may fade earlier. Ceramic and carbon-metal films may last 15+ years with proper care.
Why Choose Scorpion?
-
All films block ≥99 % of UV rays regardless of darkness. Darkness correlates more with IR/heat rejection than UV protection.
-
Built in the USA with dual-ply weatherable polyester, durable scratch-resistant coating, and lifetime warranty.
