HEXIS
BODYFENCEXS
Satin
Automotive painted bodywork
Confirm paint condition and inspect a physical satin sample before ordering.
A transparent satin protective film for vehicle paint. HEXIS describes scratch recovery at room temperature, accelerated by warmth.
Intended use and durability
Undamaged original vehicle paint. Repainted or damaged paint is installer-risk. The technical sheet also discusses selected HEXIS wrap films, but warns removal can damage them; this does not establish warranty eligibility over a wrap.
HEXIS estimates up to ten years for vertical use in Central Europe under normal road conditions. Horizontal exposure, or south-facing exposure in the northern hemisphere, is estimated to halve life. Heat and pollution can shorten it. This estimate is separate from defect coverage.

Durability and warranty: what’s the difference?Caring for this film
- The linked BODYFENCE guide says not to clean the film during the first 48 hours after installation. Avoid solvents and corrosive detergents.
- For pressure washing, that guide specifies medium pressure, a distance of at least 50 cm and water no hotter than 35 °C.
- The reviewed warranty requires BODYRELOAD and BODYFINISH at least every four months. Confirm current satin-compatible products and instructions with the installer.
The warranty separately excludes lifting occurring within fourteen days after installation when caused by detergent cleaning. This is an exclusion, not a universal wash date or a promise that washing after 48 hours preserves coverage. The guide permits conventional car washes but warns about brushes and additives; the warranty excludes scratches and damage after car-wash cleaning. The newer guide recommends the BODYFINISH kit but does not explain the older warranty’s BODYRELOAD requirement; obtain a compatible care schedule before washing.
