  • Deep, glass-like gloss with a hydrophobic, easy-clean surface
  • Full coverage against rock chips, road rash & bug acid
  • Backed by XPEL's manufacturer warranty

Paint protection film — PPF, or a "clear bra" — is a thick, self-healing urethane film that bonds to your paint and takes the abuse the road throws at it: rock chips, road rash, bug acid, sand, salt and light scratches. It's the single best thing you can do to keep paint looking new, because it stops the damage before it ever reaches the clear coat. Minor scratches in the film even self-heal with heat from the sun or warm water.

We're an Authorized Dealer, and every install is computer-cut to your exact vehicle and hand-finished with wrapped, tucked edges so there are no lifted lines or visible seams. Coverage is up to you: a partial front (bumper, partial hood and fenders, mirrors) covers the highest-impact areas affordably, a full front adds the whole hood and fenders, and full-vehicle coverage protects every painted panel. We do daily drivers, trucks, Teslas and exotics alike.

PPF also layers perfectly with ceramic coating — film for impact protection, ceramic on top for gloss and easy cleaning. Tell us your vehicle and how much coverage you want and we'll build you an exact quote through our form.

Film Options

Choose your film.

XPEL paint protection film comes in three finishes — clear, satin Stealth and Color — and our clear film comes in three grades. Here's how they break down so you can pick the right protection for your car.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

How long does paint protection film last?

Quality PPF like XPEL Ultimate Plus typically lasts up to 10 years, backed by a manufacturer warranty. Longevity depends on care, climate and the film grade installed.

Can PPF be removed?

Yes. Professionally installed PPF can be safely removed without damaging factory paint, which is why it protects resale value.

What should I protect first?

High-impact areas: the full front — bumper, hood, fenders, mirrors — and headlights take the most debris. Many clients then add rockers and door cups.

Is colored PPF better than vinyl wrap?

Colored PPF gives you a custom color plus genuine paint protection and self-healing in one film, where vinyl is cosmetic only.
