Rvinyl Product Reviews


Customer reviews are a great source of information not only for fellow consumers but for the Rvinyl team as well. With each customer review that we receive we gain more insight into the ways in which our products are seen by the end user and the types of projects they are used in. Take for example this most recent product review about an Rvinyl solid color wrap kit in our Matte Black film:


I applied some matte black wrap to the bumper on my 09 XB, between the upper and lower grilles. As a beginner, I found that the material took some getting used to. But, with some patience (along with a squeegee and a heat gun), the end result was great. The wrap was installed in the summer, and we are now well into a chilly and wet winter season. The wrap has held up great - just as the day it was applied. My "lack of skills" left me with some bubbles that I had to pin-hole away, but for the price, I can make a second - or even a third - attempt for much cheaper than to have a so-called pro install.


Sure, we'll be the first to admit that getting a good review feels great but, perhaps more importantly, this review serves to underscore for both ourselves and potential customers that the film is durable and resilient enough to be used on the exterior in all weather conditions. In the coming days we'll be posting more of our customer product reviews both to highlight the advantages of our products and to give you an idea of what to expect from an Rvinyl product. Have a great day and see you soon!

What Rshield Protection Film application tools do you recommend?
Rvinyl recommends the use of an application squeegee which will reduce air bubbles during installation and aide in heat conforming Protection Film. By using a low friction sleeve, you will reduce the chance of scratching your Rshield Film during application. Application solutions such as Rapid Clear will remove any dirt or debris from your application surface and Rapid Tac will aide in the wet application of our Paint Protection Film kits. We strongly recommend the use of these products to achieve professional results.


Why don't you offer a wider kit?
