Film and wrap installers
Pattern planning, edge discipline, panel setup, and final heat checks for PPF, color-change, and commercial graphics work.
Veteran owned
Built for the road. Proven on the water.
Next Wave Auto & Marine is a veteran-owned Pasadena, MD shop built around disciplined prep, sharp installation, honest recommendations, and a handoff that leaves no questions behind.
Story
A shop for drivers who ask good questions.
Which panels take the abuse? Is ceramic tint worth it on a daily? Should that old film come off first? Those are the conversations we like.
Every service starts with the same discipline: inspect the vehicle, understand the goal, prep the surface, protect the vulnerable areas, and hand the vehicle back with clear care notes. That applies to a daily-driver detail just as much as a multi-day PPF or wrap install.
We publish starting ranges by vehicle size, offer financing on any project, and honor veteran discounts on personal vehicles. Veteran-owned businesses receive a larger discount because game should recognize game.
