When it comes to protecting the bold design and innovative finish of your Rivian, paint protection film (PPF) is a must. Rivian vehicles are built to handle adventure, but Chicago’s unpredictable weather, road debris, and salt can take a toll on your paint. At SkinzTek, we offer expert PPF installation that shields your Rivian’s exterior from chips, scratches, and environmental damage while maintaining its sleek appearance.
Our high-quality PPF not only preserves the look of your Rivian, it also makes cleaning and maintenance a breeze. Whether you’re navigating city streets or heading off the beaten path, PPF provides a durable, self-healing layer of protection that keeps your vehicle looking fresh for years to come. Plus, with professional installation from SkinzTek, you can trust that every edge, curve, and contour is covered with precision.
We understand the passion you have for your vehicle. Our team uses industry-leading materials and meticulous techniques to deliver results that exceed expectations. Protect your investment, enhance your Rivian’s durability, and drive confidently knowing SkinzTek has you covered.
PPF protects your Rivian from the everyday hazards of the road, including rock chips, scratches, and flying debris. It acts as a tough, transparent barrier that absorbs impacts and keeps your paintwork intact. Whether you're cruising through city streets, or tackling rugged trails, this added layer of defense helps maintain your vehicle’s sleek, factory-fresh look. With SkinzTek's precise installation, every curve and edge is safeguarded for long-term protection.
Chicago’s unpredictable weather, from freezing winters to scorching summers, can wreak havoc on your Rivian’s paint. PPF provides a resilient shield against moisture, road salt, and fluctuating temperatures that causes paint to crack or peel. It also blocks harmful UV rays, preventing fading and discoloration over time. This ensures that your vehicle retains its vibrant color and glossy finish, no matter the season.
One of the most impressive benefits of PPF is its self-healing properties. Minor scratches and swirl marks disappear when exposed to heat, thanks to the film’s advanced polymer structure. This means that common blemishes from car washes or debris won't become permanent eyesores. With minimal maintenance required, your Rivian will continue to look polished and pristine for years to come.
At SkinzTek, we always utilize industry-leading products. For PPF we offer 3MTM Paint Protection Film which is designed to last 10 years with proper maintenance. After film installation, wait 1 week before washing or waxing your vehicle to help ensure proper adhesion of the film. Remove tree sap, bird droppings, tar, and oils as soon as possible to avoid staining. Use waxes that do not contain dyes, abrasive polishes and/or rubbing compounds. After waxing, you can remove any wax build-up along film edges with a lint-free cloth.
The PPF protection package you choose will dictate how long we need to keep your vehicle (i.e., 1-2 days for Partial Front, 2-3 days for Full Front, 2-4 days for Track Package, and 5-7 days for Full Wrap). First, we will wash all surfaces to remove contamination and for better adhesion. Cleaning includes: (1) Hand wash/Clay bar, (2) Hand Wash/Dry, and (3) Degrease. Next, we will remove any emblems (if applicable) to ensure a better-quality install. Following the installation of the PPF, we thoroughly post heat the edges. Lastly, we reassemble (if applicable) and clean it again to ensure it looks brand new!
PPF keeps your Rivian looking newer longer. It is a sacrificial layer that protects your paint against chips, scratches, stains, and the elements. PPF provides virtually invisible protection, keeping the look and color of your vehicle intact.
3MTM Paint Protection Films offer a 10-year warranty against yellowing, bubbling, or cracking. This warranty does not apply to damage caused by misuse, accident, or ordinary wear (including debris build up on exposed edges/seams), nor does it apply to dents caused by physical impact of rocks or road debris.
After the PPF installation, you should register your installation online to validate your warranty. We recommend also keeping the warranty card provided in the glove box with your manufacturer’s vehicle operation manual.
To decrease the likelihood of debris build up on exposed edges/seams, we recommend ceramic coating the PPF. We also offer a complimentary 2-week check-up where we will review all edges and corners of the film, and trim edges if needed.
It is best to wait at least 7 days before washing your newly installed PPF. To ensure your PPF performs as long as possible, make sure to wipe off any fuel spills immediately. When possible, it is always best to hand wash your vehicle. If you must send it through the car wash, choose a touchless option. Soften difficult contaminants, like tree sap, by soaking them for several minutes with hot, soapy water. Then, rinse thoroughly and dry. Do not use rough scrubbing or abrasive tools that will scratch the film. If possible, store your vehicle indoors, in a shaded area, or under a cover whenever possible.
