BENEFITS

SHIELD AGAINST EVERYDAY DAMAGE

Paint Protection Film defends your vehicle from rock chips, road debris, and surface pitting that occur during regular use.

 

It absorbs the impact from small objects that would otherwise chip or scar the paint, helping you avoid costly repairs and maintain a clean, well-preserved finish.

 

This clear, durable layer protects without changing the appearance of your vehicle.

SELF-HEALING & DURABLE PROTECTION

Paint Protection Film is built to withstand harsh conditions — from gravel roads to freeway speeds.

 

Minor scuffs and swirl marks fade over time thanks to heat-activated self-healing properties.

 

The film maintains its clarity and performance under daily wear, helping your car stay sharp longer.

LONG-TERM VALUE & BUYER CONFIDENCE

Vehicles with intact, original paint often stand out to buyers as better cared for and more desirable.

 

Paint Protection Film can help preserve that first-glance impression, making your vehicle more appealing in a resale or trade-in scenario.

 

For owners who care about condition and value retention, PPF adds peace of mind throughout the years of ownership.

OUR PACKAGES

Paint Protection Film packages by Ceramic Pro including gloss, matte, and black finishes with coverage options like front bumper, full front, entire vehicle, and high-impact zones.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What does Paint Protection Film actually protect against?

It protects your paint from rock chips, road debris, light scratches, bug splatter, and stains from bird droppings or tree sap.

Is Paint Protection Film better than ceramic coating?

They serve different purposes. PPF offers physical protection against chips and impact, while ceramic coating provides surface-level protection against UV, staining, and makes cleaning easier.

 

Many people choose to do both — PPF where impact is likely, and ceramic coating on the rest of the paint.

 

Ceramic Pro PPF already includes their proprietary ceramic coating built in, so there’s no need to apply a separate coating on top of the film like with many other brands.

How long does Paint Protection Film last?

Most high-quality PPFs last 7 to 10 years under normal conditions.

 

Ceramic Pro’s new generation of film is backed by a warranty of up to 16 years, offering long-term peace of mind when installed and maintained properly.

Can you see the film on the car?

Yes. At Private Collection Auto Care, we wrap all available edges during our standard installations whenever possible.

 

This creates a cleaner, more seamless look and makes the film even harder to detect.

 

Our goal is always the most invisible appearance with a low-profile, professional finish.

Does Paint Protection Film require special maintenance?

No — outside of normal hand washing with pH-balanced soap, no special upkeep is required.

That said, we recommend a quick annual maintenance detail at any Ceramic Pro Elite Dealer.

 

This service is designed to refresh the coating on Ceramic Pro PPF and ceramic-coated vehicles, helping them stay cleaner, glossier, and better protected over time.

 

It’s not mandatory, but it’s a small step that makes a big difference in long-term appearance.

Is it worth protecting just the front of the vehicle?

Yes — the front end takes the most abuse from rock chips and road debris.

 

We highly recommend applying Paint Protection Film to the front for impact protection, and ceramic coating on the rest of the vehicle to guard against UV damage, staining, and easier maintenance.

 

Our Armor Packages combine both for full-body protection with the best balance of value and performance.

Is Paint Protection Film safe to remove?

Yes — PPF is designed to be safely removed without damaging factory paint.

 

The common concern about film pulling off paint usually stems from improper repaint jobs, not original finishes.

 

When applied to properly prepped, OEM paint, removal is clean and damage-free when done correctly.

What if the edges of the film start to lift after installation?

Slight edge lifting can occur within the first 1–2 weeks as the film dries and settles — this is part of the standard curing process.

 

Since PPF is applied using a wet method, some movement is normal as moisture evaporates.

 

We provide a complementary follow-up after installation to address any adjustments once the film has fully set.
