FAQ – PianoSkin foils (gloss, matt & dynamic)
What is PianoSkin and what is it for?
PianoSkin is a precisely fitting protective film for sensitive interior surfaces – e.g., center console, trim strips, or "piano black" surfaces. It protects against micro-scratches and preserves the desired look (glossy, matte, or as a design variant).
Gloss, matte or dynamic – what are the differences?
Gloss: Rich OEM high-gloss finish with "depth". Emphasizes lines – fingerprints are more visible, but can be easily wiped off.
Matte finish: Elegant, low-reflection look. Fewer fingerprints and glare, pleasant feel.
Dynamic: Design variant with a modern, stylish appearance and special optical depth – ideal for an exclusive interior look.
Does PianoSkin permanently alter the original surface?
No. PianoSkin is applied and, if necessary, removed without leaving any residue . The original surface remains intact – only the protection and the desired appearance are added.
Do I need any tools for assembly?
No, installation is possible with the included accessories . Thoroughly clean the surface, align the film precisely, and apply it according to the instructions. Installation only takes a few minutes.
How do I remove air bubbles after application?
No. Our kits are designed specifically for each vehicle . Check the make, model, and year (e.g., Audi A3 8Y FL 2024–2025). This is the only way to ensure a perfect fit without any overlap.
Does every PianoSkin film fit every vehicle?
No. Our kits are designed specifically for each vehicle . Check the make, model, and year (e.g., Audi A3 8Y FL 2024–2025). This is the only way to ensure a perfect fit without any overlap.
Does the film affect switches, touch surfaces, or gap dimensions?
No. The cutouts are designed so that operating elements remain unobstructed . Gaps are not "smeared" – the film lies flat and remains thin.
Is the film reusable?
No. PianoSkin is designed for single application . After removal, the adhesive side may be affected by dust/fibers.
How long does PianoSkin last?
This depends on usage and wear. The film reliably protects against micro-scratches and abrasion . For more visible signs of wear, you can simply replace it – the original surface remains protected.
How do I care for the foiled surface?
Use a microfiber cloth (dry or slightly damp). Harsh cleaners are not necessary. For glossy surfaces, we recommend gentle plastic care products; for matte surfaces, please avoid wax-based polishes.
