Manta Windshield Films

Manta Windshield Films are PET-based, exterior-applied laminates engineered for near-invisible optics and exceptional clarity. A low-distortion base and precision coating minimize “orange peel,” maintaining clear sightlines in any lighting.

The non-metal, signal-friendly construction keeps GPS, 5G, Bluetooth, and toll tags performing normally, while 99% UV blockage helps protect interiors and skin. Built for outdoor exposure, the film pairs a durable, wash-resistant surface with installer-friendly adhesives for clean laydown, strong edge hold, and long-term transparency.

Predator Grade Protection

The science behind UPPF’s cutting-edge paint protection film technology is inspired by the placoid scales of sharks: super hard, low-drag microstructures that resist abrasion and contaminants. Mirroring that biology, our elastomeric TPU disperses impact and self-heals, while our proprietary PLATICOAT top-coat adds a densely cross-linked, hydrophobic, UV-stable surface. The result is optically clear protection that repels grime and remains vivid for years.

The Science

Golden Ratio

Our mission: top of the line protection at great value, what we call the “Golden Ratio". This unique calibration is what sets our products apart, delivering the performance the job demands without excess or compromise. We leverage our unique business model to incorporate the most advanced components and deliver outstanding quality at competitive prices.

FAQs

Please read our FAQs page to find out more.

What is UPPF Windshield Protection Film?

This specialized windshield film is a high-performance, optically clear protective layer designed to safeguard the windshield from external elements such as debris, UV rays, and road hazards. This product has been demonstrated to enhance visibility and longevity by acting as a sacrificial barrier that absorbs damage before it reaches the windshield.

What warranty does it come with?

Manta Windshield 90P carries a 1-year warranty, running from the installation invoice date. There is no mileage limit.

It covers defects in the film: yellowing, cracking, bubbling or blistering that appears after the 30-day curing period, and delamination from adhesive failure.

Rock chips, stone strikes and wiper marks are not covered. The film is a sacrificial layer and is meant to wear. If a covered defect is confirmed, UPPF supplies replacement film free of charge; labour to remove and refit it is not included and is arranged with your installer.

Full terms: Manta Windshield Protection Film warranty and care guide.

How long does windshield protection film last?

This specialized windshield film is backed by a 1-year warranty. Its lifespan is contingent upon environmental conditions and the quality of its maintenance. Regular cleaning and care are essential for extending the product's lifespan.

What maintenance is required?

Wipers first. Fit new blades when the film goes on, never run the wipers on dry or dusty glass, spray washer fluid before the first wipe of each trip, and replace the blades every 6 to 12 months. Worn blades are the most common cause of scratches, and wiper marks are not covered by the warranty.

For washing: hand-wash with a pH-neutral shampoo and soft microfibre, when the windshield is cool and out of direct sun. Avoid brush-type automatic washes, and keep high-pressure water about 1 metre (3 feet) from the film and never aimed at the edges. Remove bird droppings, insects and tree sap promptly with an ammonia-free glass cleaner.

Don't use ice scrapers, razor blades, abrasive pads, clay bars, or cleaners containing ammonia, solvents or harsh acids. Full care guide: Manta Windshield Protection Film warranty and care guide.

Does it protect against rock chips?

While the film is not warranted against rock chips, it serves as a protective layer to minimize the impact of road debris, such as rocks. While it may exhibit signs of wear, this can serve as a protective barrier against damage to the vehicle's primary windshield.

Can the film scratch?

As with all windshield protection films available on the market, the film is susceptible to scratching. Therefore, it is recommended that new wipers be installed once the film has been applied. This approach has been demonstrated to enhance durability and help protect against surface scratches.

Can I use ice scrapers on the Windshield film?

No. Ice scrapers and snow brushes will scratch the film, and damage from them is not covered by the warranty. Clear ice and snow with the defroster or a de-icing spray instead, and wait until the glass is clear before using the wipers.

The same applies to razor blades, abrasive pads and clay bars on any UPPF film. If scratches start to affect your view through the glass, have your installer replace the film rather than driving with an impaired view.

Are UPPF Windshield Films compatible with windshield washer fluids?

This specialized windshield film has been engineered to be compatible with all types of windshield washer fluids, including those formulated to operate in sub-zero climates.

Does the film block UV rays?

Indeed, the film in question has been shown to obstruct 99% of harmful UV rays, thereby safeguarding both the vehicle's interior and its occupants from potential sun-induced damage.

What is hydrophobic PPF?

Hydrophobic PPF has a topcoat that repels water rather than letting it sheet across the surface. Water beads and rolls off carrying dirt with it, so the film stays cleaner between washes and dries with fewer water spots. On UPPF films this comes from the Platicoat topcoat, and the Hammerhead series is hydrophobic across the range.

It is a surface property. It makes cleaning easier but adds no impact protection, and the effect gradually reduces over years of exposure. A film-safe ceramic coating can restore some of that behaviour.

Does the film affect visibility from inside?

This special windshield film provides clear visibility from the inside, making sure the driver has an unobstructed view. The film is clear, but you might see some rainbowing when you look at the windshield from the outside with polarized sunglasses.

Can Windshield Film be removed?

This film can be removed from the windshield with ease, leaving no residue behind.
