Questions
Common questions about PPF
Still deciding? Call us and we'll walk you through the options so you can make an informed decision.
What is paint protection film?
A clear (or matte, or colored) urethane film applied over your paint. It helps defend against rock chips, road debris, and everyday wear while keeping the original finish intact underneath.
How long does PPF last?
Our film is covered by up to a 10-year warranty, and the install is reported to your vehicle's CarFax report. We'll walk you through exactly what the warranty covers and how to care for it.
Is the film self-healing?
Yes. Light swirls and fine scratches in the top coat relax out with heat from the sun or warm water. Deep impacts can still mark the film, which is the point: the film takes the hit instead of your paint.
Which package is right for my car?
It depends on your vehicle, how you drive, and what you're after. Tell us the year, make, and model and we'll recommend the right coverage, never a push into the biggest package.
PPF or ceramic coating?
Ceramic adds gloss and makes washing easier but won't stop rock chips. PPF is physical protection against impacts. Many owners pair them, film on the impact zones and coating on top.
How long will you need the vehicle?
It varies by package and vehicle. We'll give you a clear timeline with your quote.
