Shield your car’s most exposed zones—front bumper, partial hood, fenders, and mirrors—from chips and scratches. Ideal for daily drivers in Dearborn seeking essential, budget-friendly paint defense.
Protect your entire front fascia—full hood, fenders, bumper, headlights, and mirrors—with a crystal-clear PPF layer that repels debris and UV fade. Perfect for commuters and luxury vehicles needing total frontal coverage.
Extend durable protection from the front end to rocker panels, A-pillars, and rear bumper impact zones—engineered for performance cars and spirited driving on road or track.
Minor scratches and swirl marks vanish when the TPU layer warms in the sun or under warm water, keeping paint smooth and clear.
An 8‑mil urethane shield absorbs gravel, winter salt, and road debris before they scar your factory finish.
The hydrophobic topcoat sheds dirt and brake dust, so a quick rinse restores a fresh‑from‑the‑shop gloss.
Pick high shine, stealth satin, or true matte film to match your style while guarding every panel.
Built‑in stabilizers fight fading, oxidation, and bird‑dropping etch, preserving color depth for years.
A flawless exterior tells buyers the car was protected, helping you command a stronger resale when it’s time to upgrade.
Paint Protection Film (PPF) is a clear layer of thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) you apply over your car’s painted surfaces to guard against rock chips, scratches and road debris. It bonds directly to impact-prone areas—like the bumper, hood, mirrors and headlights—and stays put without wearing away. The result is an invisible shield that preserves your factory finish and original color.
Once in place, the film’s self-healing topcoat smooths out light swirl marks and fine scratches when warmed by sunlight or a heat gun. It also blocks harmful UV rays and repels water, bug acids and road salts for effortless cleaning. Backed by a 10-year warranty, PPF delivers years of reliable protection and a lasting showroom shine.
Many drivers think the self‑healing layer makes maintenance pointless. You still need gentle washes and an annual checkup to keep the hydrophobic surface clear and slick. Good care lets the film last its full 10‑year life.
Quality TPU film uses paint‑safe adhesive that releases cleanly with steam or controlled heat. When pros handle the job, the clear coat stays intact and looks just like the day the film went on.
Ceramic coating blocks UV and adds gloss, but it cannot absorb rock chips or road salt impacts. Only a physical urethane barrier—paint protection film—stops those hits. Many owners combine both for the best defense.
Modern paint protection film offers gloss, matte, and satin finishes. You can keep factory shine, create a stealth look, or match custom accents while still guarding against scratches and debris.
Myths
also called a clear bra — is a self‑healing TPU layer that absorbs rock chips, gravel, and road salt on Detroit‑area streets. The 8‑mil film forms a physical shield over your clear coat, stopping scratches before they start and blocking UV rays that fade paint. Installed panel‑by‑panel, PPF lasts eight to ten years and keeps resale value high by preserving the factory finish.
is a liquid silica polymer that bonds to paint and adds a slick, hydrophobic shell. Water, brake dust, bird droppings, and chemical stains slide off, cutting wash time and boosting gloss. Coating won’t stop an impact like PPF, but it defends against UV oxidation and light swirl marks for two to five years.
How They Compare
PPF

Shared Benefits
Ceramic Coating
Protects Against
Yes. The topcoat is a thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) that re‑flows under sun or warm water, making light swirl marks disappear on its own.
Absolutely. A nano‑ceramic coating bonds to the PPF surface, adding extra hydrophobic beading and easier wash‑downs without affecting the film’s self‑healing ability.
We can replace that single panel of film. Because we precut each pattern, you don’t need to rewrap the entire vehicle, saving time and money.
Pricing depends on coverage—partial front, full front, track pack, or full body. We offer transparent quotes up front and flexible package options to meet different budgets.
No. The film is optically clear and will seal in anything already on the paint. We recommend touch‑up or paint correction first for the cleanest finish.
Yes. When it’s time to renew or sell the car, we can safely lift the film without harming factory clear coat, leaving the paint in the same protected state it was the day we installed it.
