Why Hammerhead Matte
Thickness, clarity and a 10-year warranty.
- 8 mil
Film thickness and PLATICOAT™
8 mil of non-yellowing TPU absorbs stone chips and road debris. The PLATICOAT™ topcoat self-heals fine swirls and light scratches with heat or sunlight, and resists stains.
Even matte finish, hydrophobic
Turns gloss paint to an even matte finish under a clear, non-yellowing film. The hydrophobic topcoat repels water, mud and road grime, so washing is quicker.
