What is paint protection Film?
PPF or Paint Protection Film is a polyurethane (plastic) film that is transparent (clear), tough and flexible.
What does Paint Protection Film do?
Once applied, Paint Protection Film will protect your car against stone chips, scuffs, scratches, birdlime and harsh weather.
How is Paint Protection Film installed?
First, we’ll carry out a maintenance wash followed by a clay bar decontamination, then a one stage polish (for front end and full coverage packages only) finishing off with panel surface preparation.
Then we apply the Film using a specially formulated gel solution – we use a range of squeegees to ensure that there are no creases or bubbles after application and that no corners or edges of PPF are visible.

What does the 10 Year Warranty Cover?
XPEL ULTIMATE carries a 10 year warranty against, yellowing, cracking, peeling, staining, and hazing, and reimburses both film and labor in the unlikely event of a failure. This warranty is backed by a worldwide network of certified installers, so if you move away from us in 8 years and develop an issue with the film, your local authorised installer will be able to take care of any warranty issues for you.
Do you use knives during Paint Protection Film application?
No. We have invested in one of the latest plotter machines which cuts out specially designed panel shapes meaning they can be directly applied, so there’s no need to cut on the car!

Yes. Our Paint Protection Film allows the Sun’s UV rays to fade the paintwork of the car at the same rate as unprotected panels.
