Before we start, we should explain what paint protection film is and how it works. Paint protection film more commonly known as PPF and Clear bra, is a clear protective film that can be applied to your vehicle. We offer both transparent/clear and satin versions. Gloss paint protection film provides a clear finish, when installed correctly it's difficult to see with the exception of necessary seems and edges. Satin referring to our XPEL Stealth PPF provides your vehicle with all the benefits of PPF while creating a unique satin finish.
No matter your selection, the purpose of paint protection film stays the same. When installed correctly, it provides a sacrificial surface to protect your paint. Most PPF is 6-8mils thick, designed to protect your vehicle from rock chips, road debris, and other environmental contaminants that cause damage to your vehicle. Paint Protection Film is not just for your vehicle's paint. It can also be used to protect other high-impact areas such as headlights, carbon fiber, painted trim, and more.
Is PPF right for you? Paint protection film is the ideal solution for anyone out there that is concerned with the aesthetics of your car. If you take pride in the appearance of your vehicle and find yourself inspecting it after leaving it alone in a parking lot, PPF is a great option for you. It will protect your car from things that will normally damage it, saving you a trip to the body shop. It will definitely keep your car looking better for longer and will keep the swirls away. This brings us to our next topic... Applying paint protection film on a car will not make a car look better, it will only maintain its current condition. Any swirls or imperfections that are on the paint will still be visible once PPF is applied, and you will not be able to fix it unless you remove the film. This is why we recommend having any necessary reconditioning done prior to scheduling an installation appointment. Not sure if this applies to you? No problem, we offer free vehicle inspections.

If you are still reading this, there is a good chance that paint protection film is a great option for you. So what is next? You have to select a manufacturer and installer. Just like other products, there are brands that produce better PPF than others. Some are thicker than others, have different finishes, more layers, some are self-healing and the list goes on. Typically the thicker and clearer film will perform better. Comparing manufacturers online can be a great way to narrow down the right brand for you. While online research can be helpful, nothing beats seeing the product in person. Visiting a reputable shop near you can help with the decision-making process, they can show you different kinds of films and finishes and which one will meet your needs. In summary, paint protection is a great option for just about anyone. If you are located in the Sacramento area and would like to see PPF in person feel free to reach out to us!
