Service 04Paint protection film in Largo, FLRock chips stop at the film

PPF is a physical film that absorbs impacts: rock chips, sand and light scratches. A ceramic coating is a thin chemical layer that makes paint glossy and easy to wash, but it won't stop a chip. Many owners do both: film on the impact areas, coating over everything.

The areas that take the hits: front bumper, hood, fenders and mirrors, often called a front-end package. Rocker panels and door edges are common add-ons, and full-body film is available.

Quality film is warrantied for years against yellowing, cracking and peeling. We go through the warranty of the film line at the consultation.
