Selecting the right protection for your vehicle’s paint requires understanding the key differences between Paint Protection Film (PPF) and ceramic coating.
Paint Protection Film (PPF) is a tough, transparent urethane film designed to guard against physical damage like rock chips, scratches, and environmental hazards. It lasts 10 years and comes in Matte, Gloss, and Black finishes to suit your style.
Ceramic Coating forms a hard, protective layer on the paint, guarding against UV rays and dirt. It offers a hydrophobic surface, lasting 2 to 9 years, but does not provide the same level of physical protection as PPF.

Protects Against
While PPF provides strong protection against rock chips, scratches, and environmental hazards, it isn't indestructible. Significant impacts, such as large debris or severe accidents, can still cause damage. PPF offers excellent defense but isn’t a guarantee against every type of harm.
PPF is designed to be nearly invisible, but there may still be a slight difference in gloss between treated and untreated areas. If only the front end is protected, it can appear glossier than the rest of the vehicle. For uniformity, some owners choose to apply a ceramic coating to other areas.
PPF is not exclusive to luxury or high-end vehicles. In fact, it's an excellent choice for any car owner who wants to protect their paint from daily wear, rock chips, and minor scratches. From sedans to SUVs, PPF is suitable for all types of vehicles, preserving their value.
PPF can be applied to both new and older cars, but it’s most effective on vehicles with minimal existing damage. Older cars with rock chips or paint imperfections may still show flaws beneath the film. Paint correction before PPF installation can improve the overall appearance.
Faqs
XPEL Paint Protection Film (PPF) is designed to defend your vehicle’s clear coat from common surface damage. This includes swirl marks from improper washing, light scratches from abrasive materials, etching from acid rain, bug stains, bird droppings, and paint chips. The film acts as a shield against these everyday threats.
Yes, our experienced team will guide you through selecting the right PPF package based on your vehicle and needs. Whether you need full-body protection or specific high-impact areas, we’ll ensure you get the best protection for your car.
While PPF is designed to withstand dirt and grime, keeping it clean helps maintain its longevity and appearance. Regular hand washing with a pH-neutral soap will ensure the film stays clear and continues to protect your vehicle’s paint effectively.
XPEL’s clear bra features self-healing properties, which means light scratches and swirl marks disappear when exposed to heat. The top layer of the film softens and reforms, making small imperfections vanish, ensuring your vehicle always looks its best.
