Peace of mind! Simply put, automotive paint protection film preserves the quality of your cars paint by reducing the risk of multiple kinds of damage. When applied to the painted surfaces of your vehicle, PPF acts as a clear and unnoticeable protective layer.
For the everyday commuter a clear bra installed on the front end will protect against highway sand blasting and more. For high use areas such as tailgates it protects against scratches from loading and unloading packages. Meanwhile some car owners, prefer to cover the entire car. Protecting and preserving their investment from UV rays, environmental elements, scratches and more.
Over the years we’ve tested many different films and believe XPEL to be superior. XPEL is the leading paint protection film manufacture, with the best impact protection for durability. Being one of Raleigh’s premiere paint protection film installers it is a given that we only use, XPEL Ultimate Plus.
Paint protection film, often referred to as PPF or Clear Bra, is a transparent urethane film constructed from a combination of advanced elastomeric polymers that comes in high-gloss or matte finish. This level of quality and protection comes without compromise. The mirror smooth finish of XPEL Ultimate ensures that no unwanted texture, commonly referred to as “orange-peel,” is added to the appearance of your car, leaving the protected surface indistinguishable from the factory paint.
Film longevity will depend on numerous factors. For example, if the installed vehicle is rarely driven and kept in a garage, the film will last much longer than a daily-driven car exposed to harsh elements on a regular basis. However, regardless of how you use your protected vehicle, you can expect many years of performance.
Your paint protection kit is designed specifically for your vehicle from a Design Access Program (DAP) software system, exclusively from XPEL. Our highly trained installers can also custom cut a pattern for your vehicle if you’re wanting customized coverage. The DAP system contains laser cut patterns for your specific year, make, and model vehicle. This means NO CUTTING on the car and into the clear coat like many shops do. This system helps to ensure a clean job and no damage to your vehicle.
Surface preparation is essential prior the installation. A clean contaminant free surface is necessary for proper adhesion and a flawless looking finished product. After perfectly preparing the coverage area soapy water is sprayed enabling the film to be maneuvered into position. There are two types of installation techniques, precut and bulk. Precut means the film is cut perfectly to size by a computer. Bulk means an uncut roll of film is cut by hand on the car. A perfect installation can be obtained with either technique. Each installer will have their own preference and each model car may be easier with one technique over the other.
After the film has been laid out across the surface it is stretched to conform to the shape of the surface with which it’s being applied. During the stretching process the installer will begin to squeegee the film to remove any excess water and bubbles. The final steps is wrapping all possible edges and sealing them, creating an invisible appearance. The final steps are to trim, if necessary, any excess material.
We ensure exact alignment around surface features such as air inlets, parking sensors, headlamp washers and other design elements.
