Self-healing urethane film that stops rock chips before they ever touch your paint. XPEL, 3M, SunTek.
Ceramic coating handles chemical attack. PPF handles physical impact. It's a 6 to 8 mil thermoplastic urethane film that absorbs rock chips, road debris, sand blast, and car-door dings before they reach your clear coat. Modern PPF self-heals minor swirls with heat and lasts 7 to 10 years. We install it from partial fronts to full-body wraps.
Pattern-cut by computer, hand-installed by certified techs. The install is everything.
XPEL DAP and 3M Avery cutter software pulls the exact panel pattern for your year/make/model. No exposed paint edges.
Full paint decon, IPA wipedown, paint correction if needed (so we're not sealing in defects under the film).
Surface and film flooded with installation solution. Squeegee out air, water, and creases over hours of work per panel.
Edges wrapped under panels or heat-tucked into trim gaps. Zero exposed film edges that catch dirt or peel back.
7 to 10 years on yellowing, cracking, peeling, and bubbling. Registered to you with XPEL, 3M, or SunTek.
1 day for partial front. 1.5–2 days for full front. 3–4 days for track package. 4–5 days for full body.
Three clients who get the most out of PPF.
You want to keep that paint flawless. Front-end PPF installed in the first 30 days is the gold-standard new-car protection.
Repainting one Porsche panel costs $2,500+. A full-front PPF install pays for itself the first time a tractor-trailer kicks up gravel.
Long highway drives mean constant rock and sand impact. Front-end PPF stops every chip a 20,000-mile-a-year driver would otherwise collect.
Four steps. Quote to done in a single appointment.
Four coverage levels. Pricing for sedans and coupes — SUVs and trucks adjusted at quote.
SUVs +20–30%. Trucks +25–35%. Exotics with complex curves add to install time and quote.
Three things that separate a clean PPF install from a sloppy one.
Manufacturer-certified installers. The cert is what makes the multi-year warranty enforceable — uncertified installs void it.
DAP pattern software for the base cut, then hand-trimmed where the pattern needs adjusting for your specific vehicle.
PPF install needs a dust-controlled environment. We bring the install bay to your location, or you can drop off at our shop.
