Frequently Asked Questions
Get clear answers about TAKAI's Japanese paint protection and heat-control films — how they work, how to maintain them, and why thousands of car owners trust TAKAI to protect their vehicles.
Why choose TAKAI over other protection films?
TAKAI films are developed and manufactured in Japan under strict automotive standards. Every layer — from adhesive to top-coat — is engineered for clarity, UV resistance, and long-term durability. The result: perfect protection without altering your car's color, sensors, or warranty.
How long does TAKAI film last?
TAKAI Premium films come with a 10-year warranty, while TAKAI Premium Plus carries a 15-year warranty. These warranties cover yellowing, cracking, bubbling, and peeling — ensuring your investment remains visually flawless.
Does installation require removing car parts?
No. TAKAI films are designed for precision fit without disassembly. Our advanced templates and edge-wrapping techniques keep factory sensors, trims, and seals intact — preserving both aesthetics and manufacturer warranty.
Can the film repair itself from scratches?
Yes. Minor swirls and micro-scratches self-heal under sunlight or gentle heat, thanks to TAKAI's nanotechnology-infused top-coat. Your car maintains a fresh, high-gloss finish year after year.
What's the difference between TAKAI Premium and TAKAI Premium Plus?
TAKAI Premium: Ideal for daily-driven vehicles seeking gloss and impact resistance.
TAKAI Premium Plus: A next-generation film designed for electric and high-performance cars, offering superior heat rejection and enhanced elasticity for complex curves.
How should I care for the film after installation?
You can wash your car normally after 7 days. Use neutral pH car shampoo and soft microfiber towels. Avoid harsh chemicals or automatic brushes. TAKAI films are compatible with ceramic coatings for added ease of maintenance.
Can TAKAI film be removed or replaced later?
Yes — professional installers can remove it without leaving residue or damaging the paint. This makes it ideal for leased vehicles or resale preparation.
