Checklist before you pay a deposit

Make two installer quotes genuinely comparable before you decide.

  1. Put the exact product brand and series on the written quote.
  2. List every panel and area included.
  3. Confirm whether the final price includes VAT.
  4. Ask who issues the warranty.
  5. Read the warranty exclusions.
  6. Confirm how edges are handled.
  7. Ask whether cutting is plotter-based or performed on the vehicle.
  8. Document the paint condition before handover.
  9. Confirm whether paint correction is extra.
  10. Ask when the post-installation inspection should happen.
  11. Read multiple customer reviews rather than relying on before/after photos.
  12. Do not pay a premium price without knowing the exact product.

Comparison rule

Compare like with like. “Full PPF” from two installers can mean different film series, warranties, edge treatment and preparation. Use the warranty checklist and cost range together.
