We begin the PPF process by thoroughly washing the vehicle with decontamination soap to remove all contaminants, waxes, and sealants. We follow up with a clay bar treatment to remove anything bonded onto the clear coat. This helps ensure a flawless surface for the ppf
We disassemble anything on the car necessary to tuck our edges. At SoCal Vinyl in Orange County Ca, we extend and tuck all edges for a more aesthetically pleasing and long lasting finish.
We utilize Xpel’s DAP program to cut all of our material. However we go a step above and modify our patterns to have extended edges and delete unnecessary seams and reliefs. This ensures no blades touch your car, and you have perfectly straight lines throughout. PPF is a very thick material, and it is always safer and more aesthetically pleasing to have a machine cut it than a person.
We apply the PPF onto your vehicle using various methods to ensure no silvering, tension lines, or anything else that most other shops deem acceptable. Here at SoCal Vinyl, we know how much you care about your car and our number 1 goal is to provide the best PPF in Orange County.
Every vehicle is allowed to cure for 12 hours prior to leaving our facility, this is so we can inspect everything after the material has had time to bond.

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.
