Yes. TriStar Customs is family-owned and operated in Lebanon, TN. Every install is handled in-house by our team.

Question 8

What's the difference between PPF and ceramic coating?

Accepted Answer

PPF is a thick urethane film that physically blocks rock chips and scratches. Ceramic coating is a chemical layer that adds gloss, UV protection and hydrophobic behavior. Most enthusiasts use both — PPF on impact zones, ceramic on top and everywhere else.

Question 9

Can I wash my car after a ceramic coating?

Accepted Answer

Wait at least 7 days before washing after a fresh ceramic coating install. After that, hand-wash with a pH-neutral car shampoo using the two-bucket method. Never use automatic brush car washes.

Question 10

Does PPF turn yellow over time?

Accepted Answer

Premium GSWF PPF carries a 10-year manufacturer warranty against yellowing, cracking and bubbling. Cheap films will yellow within a few years — GSWF won't.

Question 11

Will tint affect my GPS, cell, or HUD?

Accepted Answer

No. GSWF ceramic films are non-metallic, so they don't interfere with cell, GPS, Bluetooth, radar, HUDs or ADAS cameras when installed correctly.
