The Zaelex Standard
- Multi-stage decontamination
- Paint prep & surface inspection
- Knifeless tape, zero razor blades on paint
- Quality-control check before delivery
See our full process
Pristine execution demands a flawless foundation. Before a single millimeter of film or vinyl is applied, every Zaelex installation begins with our mandatory preparation protocol — because a compromised surface guarantees a compromised result.
Every PPF, wrap, and tint installation at Zaelex automatically includes our full multi-stage decontamination process at no additional charge. This is not an upsell. It is the Zaelex Standard.
- Multi-Stage Decontamination
- Chemical and mechanical removal of bonded contaminants, iron fallout, and tar — exposing the true paint surface.
- Paint Prep Included
- Every install includes decontamination. No exceptions.
- Surface Inspection
- Panel-by-panel light inspection under studio lighting to verify zero surface defects before installation begins.
- Zero Compromise Policy
- If the surface is not perfect, the installation does not proceed. Quality is non-negotiable at Zaelex.
