— What Is PPF?

Invisible armor for your paint.

Paint Protection Film (PPF) is an optically clear, thermoplastic urethane film applied to your vehicle's painted surfaces. It forms an invisible shield against rock chips, road debris, environmental contamination, and UV damage.

XPEL Ultimate Plus, our primary film, features a self-healing elastomeric polymer top coat. Minor scratches and swirl marks disappear with exposure to heat — either from sunlight or warm water.

Unlike wax or ceramic coating, PPF provides actual physical impact protection. It's the only product that stops a rock chip before it ever reaches your paint.

— Our Process

Precision, every step.

01
Vehicle Inspection
Full paint inspection under lighting. We document existing swirls or chips so you know the before state.
02
Decontamination
Iron fallout treatment, clay bar, and panel wipe-down with isopropyl alcohol for maximum adhesion.
03
Template Cutting
Plotted on our DAP cutting system using XPEL's database of vehicle-specific templates — no knife near your paint.
04
Film Application
Each panel applied with slip solution, squeegeed to remove moisture, then heat-set to form a seamless bond.
05
Cure & Inspect
48-hour cure period. Final inspection for any lifting edges, bubbles, or contamination before pickup.

— FAQ

Common questions.

PPF protects against rock chips, road debris, bug splatter, bird droppings, minor scratches, swirl marks, UV yellowing, and environmental fallout. XPEL Ultimate Plus has a self-healing top coat that removes light scratches with heat — from the sun or warm water.
For any vehicle you're keeping or want to preserve in perfect condition, PPF is absolutely worth it. It maintains resale value, eliminates touch-up paint costs, and gives you peace of mind on highway driving. Compare the cost to one respray — it pays for itself.
XPEL Ultimate Plus is backed by a 10-year manufacturer warranty against yellowing, cracking, peeling, and delamination. With proper maintenance (pH-neutral wash soap, annual decontamination), it easily lasts the full warranty period — often longer.
Yes. When professionally removed after proper cure time, PPF comes off cleanly without damaging the underlying paint. This makes it ideal for leased vehicles and for owners who want flexibility. We also offer re-installation if film is damaged.
Clear PPF (XPEL Ultimate Plus) preserves your factory gloss finish with invisible protection. Stealth PPF converts any gloss paint to a satin/matte appearance while still protecting the surface. Many customers use Stealth to achieve a factory-matte look without committing to a vinyl wrap.
