Paint Protection Film

Clear, matte or colored. Every film we fit carries the same urethane, the same wrapped edges and a 10-year warranty that transfers to the next owner.

We work directly with franchise and independent dealerships.

Protection film explained
The film

What is protection film?

Paint protection film is an optically clear urethane layer that absorbs what your paint would otherwise absorb: stone chips, scratches from a parking structure, oxidation, bug etching and road grime. Invisible from three feet away, and permanent until you decide otherwise.

We fit XPEL ULTIMATE PLUS, with a self-healing, hydrophobic topcoat that sheds water and closes light scratches with heat. Virtually no added texture over your paint, and no change to the color underneath.

Warranty 10 years Transferable. It follows the car to its next owner.
Packages

Two levels of coverage. One standard of fitting.

Frost

Matte, without the paint job

A satin surface laid over your factory gloss. The look of a matte car, none of the fragility, and it comes off cleanly if the next owner wants the shine back.

Stealth

What is matte protection film?

The same urethane and the same topcoat as our clear film, finished in satin instead of gloss. It sheds water and self-heals exactly as the clear does, so the car reads as a factory matte option without any of the maintenance a real matte paint job demands.

Matte paint cannot be polished, and one bad wash marks it permanently. Film can be replaced. That is the whole argument, and it is why Stealth outlasts the paint it imitates.

  • Stain resistant and self-healing with heat
  • Goes over existing gloss paint, no respray
  • Removes cleanly back to the original finish
  • 10 years, transferable to the next owner

Per-car pricing, quoted in a day

Tell us the marques you carry and roughly how many cars a month you would film. We come back with pricing on every film and both coverage levels.

Franchise and independent dealerships

Colored film

What is colored protection film?

A colour change that protects rather than merely covers. Colored film is the same self-healing urethane as our clear, with pigment run through it, so the car changes colour and gains a protective layer in one operation.

Vinyl does neither job well. It is thin, it fades under California sun, and it offers no impact protection at all. Colored film is roughly four times thicker than vinyl, hydrophobic, scratch resistant, and it heals.

  • Gloss, satin and specialist finishes
  • Self-healing and hydrophobic
  • Panels removed for a paint-like fit
  • 10 years, transferable to the next owner
