Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What is the difference between Clear Bra and Ceramic Coating?
Clear Bra (PPF) is a physical film that provides impact protection against rock chips, scratches, and road debris. Ceramic Coating, on the other hand, is a liquid polymer that adds hydrophobic and UV protection but does not protect against physical damage. For maximum protection, many customers choose to apply both.
How long does XPEL Paint Protection Film last?
XPEL PPF is engineered to last up to 10 years or more with proper care. It is backed by a 10-year manufacturer’s warranty, covering yellowing, cracking, and peeling under normal driving conditions.
Can XPEL PPF be removed?
Yes! XPEL Paint Protection Film can be safely removed by a professional without damaging your vehicle’s paint. This is ideal for leased vehicles or when upgrading to a newer model.
Does PPF affect the appearance of my vehicle?
Not at all. XPEL PPF is optically clear and practically invisible once installed. It enhances your vehicle’s gloss and preserves its original paint color and finish.
How long does installation take?
Installation time depends on the coverage package. A Front Bumper or Full Hood Package typically takes a few hours, while Full Front or Full Car Coverage may require 1–2 days. We’ll provide a timeline when you request a quote.
How do I care for my vehicle after PPF is installed?
You can wash your car as usual, but avoid automated car washes with brushes. Use pH-neutral soaps and soft microfiber towels. We recommend waiting 48 hours after installation before washing your vehicle to allow the film to fully cure.
Can I combine PPF with window tint or ceramic coating?
Absolutely! In fact, combining XPEL PPF, ceramic coating, and window tint offers the ultimate in appearance, protection, and performance. Ask us about bundled services for added savings.
