Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about Armor Shield™ Marine Protection Film, installation, and care.
How long does Armor Shield™ Marine Protection Film last?
Armor Shield™ is engineered for 10+ years of protection with proper care. Our warranty backs this durability, and many installations last 15+ years depending on usage and environmental conditions.
Will the film affect my boat's appearance?
No. Armor Shield™ is optically invisible and crystal clear. It preserves your boat's factory finish while adding an invisible layer of protection. There's zero yellowing or haze.
Can the film be removed?
Yes, Armor Shield™ can be safely removed at any time without damaging the underlying surface or leaving residue. Removal is residue-free and leaves your original finish intact.
How much does installation cost?
Cost depends on your vessel's size, configuration, and the extent of coverage desired. We provide free consultations and custom quotes. Contact us for a detailed estimate.
What about self-healing? How does it work?
Armor Shield™ has a self-healing topcoat that uses heat activation to seal minor scratches. Exposure to sun or water heat naturally activates the healing process, keeping your film looking perfect.
Do you install nationwide?
Yes, King of Boat Care travels nationwide for installations. We visit marinas, boatyards, and private locations. Contact us to arrange an installation at your location.
How should I maintain the film after installation?
Armor Shield™ is incredibly low-maintenance. Simply wash your boat normally with mild soap and water. Avoid harsh chemicals and high-pressure washers directly on the film edges. Most owners find the film actually makes their boat easier to clean.
What surfaces can Armor Shield™ protect?
We can apply Armor Shield™ to virtually any smooth surface on your boat: hulls, transoms, railings, forecastles, hardtops, and more. We custom-design your protection package based on your vessel and boating style.
Does the film yellow or cloud over time?
No. Armor Shield™ is formulated with UV-stabilized materials that maintain optical clarity indefinitely. Unlike older protective films, there is no yellowing, haze, or discoloration.
Can I have the film applied to my boat in my slip or the marina?
Yes. Our certified technicians have portable equipment and can work at your boat's location—whether that's your slip, boatyard, or private dock. We work around your schedule.
What warranty do you offer?
Armor Shield™ comes with a comprehensive 10-year warranty against peeling, bubbling, and adhesive failure. We also offer extended warranty options for added peace of mind.
How long does installation take?
Installation time depends on your vessel size and coverage area. Typical installations range from 1-3 days for full hull coverage. We'll provide a detailed timeline during your free consultation.
