| People always want to know more about LenzGuard self adhesive heavy
duty automotive headlight protection film. And who can blame them? Here are
some of the questions we have been asked to date.
Question: Why have you chosen these particular
sizes?
Answer: We studied all the cars
available for sale in New Zealand. We spent a number of weekends, tape measure
in hand, politely asking the car dealers if we could measure their cars'
lights as part of a survey. We received some strange looks, but all the dealers
were helpful. We entered the information into a database and it quickly became
obvious that there were 4 distinct groups.
Question: But do these sizes cover cars
overseas?
Answer: Yes. New Zealand has the
most diverse range of cars for sale anywhere in the world. With maybe a very
few exceptions, we know we can cater for all sizes.
Question: Some opposition products supply
vinyl sheet already cut to size. Why don't LenzGuard come already precut.
Answer: There is a two fold answer
to this. Firstly, we could not hope to have templates for every car. The
cost of manufacturing the templates would be expensive which would have to
be added into the cost of the product. Secondly, the laminating adhesive
is very very sticky. Once the product is applied to the headlight, it is
very hard to remove LenzGuard without upsetting the optics of both the vinyl
sheet and the adhesive. It is better to apply slightly oversize and trim
afterwards.
Question: Why do I have to
pay so much for a piece of PVC and some double sided tape?
Answer: The flexible PVC vinyl
is especially imported from Japan. It was carefully chosen. It is optically
clear to minimise distortion from the headlights. We have come across
samples from other manufacturers that are supposed to be clear, but
have 'pooling' and 'pimples' in the vinyl. The vinyl is ultra violet
stabilised so that the vinyl does not break down when exposed to the
environment. This can cause yellowing and deterioration. The adhesive
is a 3M acrylic transfer tape product. It is able to resist many chemicals
and to withstand the effects of high temperatures. It is a specialised
item, made to order.
Question: Can I reposition
the LenzGuard after it's been applied?
Answer: No. Pealing
off the LenzGuard will probably result in the glue separating from the
PVC. Therefore make sure you position the LenzGuard correctly the first
time.
Question: Are there any "tricks of the trade"
when applying LenzGuard.
Answer: Make sure that the headlight
is very clean and smooth. Then use isopropyl alcohol (available from the
chemist) to get the last drop of grease and film off the lens. When heating
the LenzGuard, make sure it is pliable before you start to apply it. Before
trimming, use masking tape to mark the edge you want to cut. It is much easier
to see where you are cutting. Round off any pointed corners with your knife,
using either a circle template or the end of a teaspoon. You may notice small
"spiders webs" under the glue when first applied. These will disappear over
time.
Question: How secure is the secure server
order form?
Answer: The web page you receive
from the server, and data that you send back to the server is in encrypted
format. You can tell this in 2 ways. The web address starts with "https"
("s" for secure) and the yellow padlock will appear on your browser desktop
at the top or bottom right hand side. When you submit your order, the server
encrypts the order and emails it to me. I have to decrypt the email before
I can read it using a 14 digit password.
Question: Can I pay by any other method?
Answer: I'm happy to accept
cash (major currencies only), Visa, MasterCard or PayPal. Contact me
for details.
