The Competition.
CLICK FOR BATTLE CRITERIA & SCORING
Preparation: Each competitor got a total of 15 minutes to inspect all 5 panels. Each competitor was limited to 1 (one) piece of film per panel.
01 — Side Mirror (15 mins): Prep / clean / Bulk installation / Trim 1mm from edge. Disqualification beyond 15 minutes.
02 — Windshield (15 mins): Prep / clean / Precut installation. Disqualification beyond 15 minutes.
03 — Taillight (15 mins): Prep / clean / Bulk installation / Trim 1mm from edge. Disqualification beyond 15 minutes.
04 — Front Fender (15 mins): Prep / clean / Precut installation. Disqualification beyond 15 minutes.
05 — Hood (45 mins): Prep / clean / Bulk installation / Half to the edge + Half wrapped. Disqualification beyond 45 minutes.
Scoring: Each panel started with 100 points and 1 point was deducted for each discrepancy. Discrepancies included folds, air-bubbles, adhesive grab, silvering, lifting edges, film distortion, inconsistent corners, and excessive debris. Highest cumulative score won. Time was the tiebreaker. The top 5 (five) advance to the World Series Final — in September in the South of France.
Materials & Tools: Competitors brought their preferred preparation and application tools. Film and competition cars were provided.
Disqualification: Burning of film, damage to the panel, cheating, or a cut in the paint was an instant disqualification — no exceptions. Exceeding the listed time limit on any panel was also an instant disqualification. Jury decisions were final and without appeal.
Eligibility: Competitors were 18+, active PPF installation professionals, limited to one entry per person. Judges, organizer employees and direct family members were excluded.
Finalists: If a Top 5 finalist is unable to attend the World Series Final Round, their prize will be transferred to the next runner-up.
