Introducing EVOLV Gloss Black PPF with AQUA-X Technology
A New Standard for Fast, Wet Installation
At EVOLV, innovation has always been driven by the needs of professional installers. Paint Protection Film has evolved significantly over the past few years, and today installers expect not only protection and aesthetics, but also efficiency during installation.
To meet this demand, EVOLV is proud to introduce the new Gloss Black PPF with AQUA-X Technology — a film specifically engineered for wet installation workflows, delivering faster and smoother application compared to traditional wet-installed PPF.
Built for Installers Who Prefer Wet Installation
Many professional installers prefer wet installation because it provides greater control during positioning and allows the film to glide smoothly across the panel before final squeegee.
While our existing Gloss Black PPF with DRY-X Technology offers the flexibility of both wet and dry installation, the new AQUA-X version is optimized specifically for wet application.
By focusing entirely on wet-install performance, AQUA-X technology enables installers to work faster and more efficiently, reducing installation time while maintaining the same high-quality finish.
AQUA-X vs DRY-X: What’s the Difference?
EVOLV now offers two Gloss Black PPF technologies designed for different installer preferences.
Gloss Black PPF – DRY-X Technology
- Can be installed wet or dry
- Versatile solution for different installation styles
- Excellent repositioning capability
- Ideal for shops that alternate between dry and wet installs
Gloss Black PPF – AQUA-X Technology
- Designed specifically for wet installation
- Faster installation when applying wet
- Improved slip and positioning
- Optimized adhesive behavior during wet application
Because AQUA-X is engineered specifically for wet installs, installers can achieve quicker tack and smoother squeegee performance, reducing overall installation time compared to wet installing a traditional dry-install film.
Deep Gloss Black Finish with Full Protection
The new AQUA-X Gloss Black PPF delivers the same premium visual impact installers expect from EVOLV films.
The film creates a rich, deep black finish that can transform vehicle surfaces while providing the durability of paint protection film.
Key benefits include:
- High-gloss piano black appearance
- Paint protection against chips, scratches, and road debris
- Flexible and conformable film for complex curves
- Professional-grade finish designed for automotive surfaces
This makes the film ideal for applications such as:
- Roof wraps
- Hood accents
- Pillars and trim
- Full panel transformations
- Design elements and two-tone builds
Designed for Efficiency in Professional Shops
Installation efficiency is critical for wrap and PPF shops managing multiple vehicles per day. By reducing installation friction and improving squeegee performance, AQUA-X technology helps installers complete jobs faster without compromising quality.
The result is:
- Less installation time
- Smoother application process
- More predictable results with wet installation workflows
For shops that already prefer wet installs, AQUA-X technology offers a purpose-built solution designed to match their workflow.
Expanding the EVOLV PPF Technology Platform
With the introduction of AQUA-X technology, EVOLV continues expanding its range of professional installation solutions.
Installers can now choose the technology that best fits their style:
- DRY-X Technology – for installers who want the flexibility of wet or dry installs
- AQUA-X Technology – for installers who prefer faster, optimized wet installations
Both options deliver the premium finish, durability, and reliability that professionals expect from EVOLV PPF.
