Our first time in a Tesla
Riding along in a Tesla Model X 85D
Friends of ours bought a Tesla Model X. One drive on the motorway later it was clear that this was a completely different kind of car.
About us
Paint damage turned into a film of our own
It all started with paint flaking off our own Tesla Model 3. There were no precision-cut stone chip protection films you could fit at home, so we developed and tested our own. Several thousand customers later, our team and our production have grown along with them.

The first paint damage
Stone chips and flaking paint
Washing the car with a pressure washer lifted the paint off the rocker panel. Less than three months later the bumper and the hood had their first stone chips too.

Developing the precision-cut films
From 3D scan to cutting contour
Every relevant body panel is scanned with a state-of-the-art 3D scanner and unwrapped into a cutting contour on the 3D model. Each contour is checked on the car until it sits cleanly.

Production starts
Cut to the millimetre
Since then every film is cut for you in-house on our plotter, to the millimetre, following our own contours.

Packing and shipping
Well protected, packed sparingly
Every film is rolled, padded and packed so that it arrives undamaged. We use recycled material and as little packaging as possible.
