A Trained XPEL Paint Protection Film Installation Shop In Murrieta, CA

Because our team is highly trained and extensively experienced in all things XPEL paint protection products, we actually get this question more often than not. Paint protection films bring defect-resistance to your paintwork, while ceramic coatings tend to focus more on hydrophobicity and stain prevention. Both are quality investments in your vehicle!

Our XPEL Paint Protection Film packages keep swirl marks caused by harsh washing techniques, light scratches from a variety of hazards, etching from acid rain, stains from chemical contaminants, and other minor surface discrepancies away from your true vehicle finish. The most common defects that PPFs do NOT defend against largely involve body damage, such as dents, cracks, and high-speed impact destruction.

With an expert team like ours on your side, this request is simple. Most of the clear bra packages both available here at Clear Pro and in the industry in general can last up to a decade defending your finish, but if you need a new PPF installed and an old one removed, bring it back to our Murrieta, California shop to successfully accomplish this task.

Yes. Truly, any time you have paint protection efforts performed on your automobile, whether it is a ceramic coating or a clear bra, general professional exterior vehicle detailing should be done to maintain the coated and covered surfaces. Public car washes can actually damage ceramic coatings, and excessively swirl and scratch your PPF. While some may argue that this is the point of your PPF, we do not endorse expediting its usable life.

Paint protection film is a transparent, robust and thin urethane film. It’s about 6 mils thick, or six-thousandths (0.006) of an inch. It was first invented by 3M for the US Army during the Vietnam War. 3M invented clear bra to protect helicopter rotor from high-velocity shrapnel and debris. The US Army needed a solution that not protected but that was very light-weight and 3M paint protection was the exact solution they need.

Nowadays, PPF main applications are in the automotive sector and they’ve evolved to cater to virtually all paint protection needs. In a nutshell, clear bras excel at one thing and that’s to protect your paint even against high impact damages such as rock chips, scratches, and scuffs.

The urethane film will also absorb all UV rays to guarantee your paint won’t oxidize. It also provides complete protection against acidic and corrosive contaminants such as bird droppings, acid rains, calcium deposits or any contaminant that would otherwise harm your paint.

But over the decades, manufacturers have continually improved their films and they can now self-heal, change the color of your paint, add a “matte” look to your paint and more.
