ABOUT OUR PPF & CERAMIC

Paint Protection Film, or PPF, is your car's best friend.
Your vehicle is constantly exposed to road debris, UV rays and harsh weather, which leads to chips, scratches and fading. PPF is an invisible shield that preserves your finish and your resale value. Add System X ceramic coating for lasting gloss and easy cleaning.
We install STEK PPF, a premium film with superior durability, self-healing technology and crystal-clear protection, designed to absorb impact and resist stains for years to come.

PPF COST FACTORS
Pricing Factors for PPF Installations
Vehicle Size
Smaller vehicles have much less surface area, so less install time. Larger vehicles take more time to install.
Condition of Paint
We won't PPF over paint that is scratched and swirled. If your paint is brand new, you're in the clear. If it's rough, we'll perform a paint correction first so you don't see defects through the film.
Body Lines
An SUV's front bumper is larger and smoother than a supercar's, which has tighter angles and harder-to-reach spots. Those difficult spots add install time.
Gloss or Satin?
Gloss is the most common, but some prefer to change their vehicle's finish from gloss to satin while keeping the factory color. Satin film has an added cost over gloss.
3M WINDSHIELD SKIN
Protection Film for Your Windshield
Windshield protection is just as important as protecting your paint. One small rock flying up from the vehicle in front of you and you may be spending an unexpected $1000+ on a new windshield.
Ranges in price from $500 to $750.
3M Windshield Skin
From $500–$750
Applied to the outside of the glass to protect your windshield from rocks and cracks.
CERAMIC COATING
System X Ceramic Coating
We've tested the top ceramic coating brands, and System X stood above the rest for durability, gloss and long-term protection, so we use it for every ceramic job. You can coat almost anything: paint, plastic trim, carbon fiber, wheels, glass and even your seats.
Outside: drive through a muddy puddle and most of the muck beads right off in the wind. Inside: spill your Dunkin' and your coated seats wipe clean, good as new.
What not to expect: ceramic won't wash your car for you, but it makes washing much faster, and you'll never need to wax again. It also won't stop scratches, swirls or rock chips. That's what PPF is for. For the ultimate protection, ask about a PPF + Ceramic bundle.
Glass Only
Starts at $249
All windows and side view mirror glass.
Interior Only
Starts at $499
Seats, door panels, upper dashboard, screens, buttons, trim and cupholders.
Wheels Off
Starts at $599
Wheels removed and coated on the face and inside barrels, so brake dust cleans up in a breeze.
Diamond SS
Starts at $1,199
Lifetime warranty when registered and inspected annually. Diamond Super Slick on all paintwork plus badges, emblems and trim; Wheel coating on wheels; Glass coating on the windshield; Interior protection for leather, vinyl, fabric and carpet.
Max G+
Starts at $1,999
Lifetime warranty when registered and inspected annually. Max G+ on all paintwork plus badges, emblems and trim; Wheel coating on wheels; Glass coating on the windshield; Interior protection for leather, vinyl, fabric and carpet.
CERAMIC COST FACTORS
What Affects Ceramic Coating Price
Vehicle size: smaller vehicles have less surface area and take less time. Larger vehicles take more.
Paint condition: every car is different. New vehicles are quoted with a complimentary 2-step polish before coating, to clear the fine scratches dealerships often leave. For older vehicles we may ask for close-up photos, since some need a full paint correction first.

From Our Founder
Your car is more than just a way to get from A to B. It's a reflection of your lifestyle. Just like a clean home says something about who you are, the condition of your car speaks volumes. If you value the things you work hard for, protecting them isn't optional. It's essential.
Paint Protection Film is for the perfectionists. For the ones who care not only about preserving their car's value, but also about how it looks to the world. Every rock chip, scratch and scuff you prevent is a step toward keeping your car looking as flawless as the day it left the showroom.
If your paint is still fresh, now is the time to protect it. Think of PPF as the armor your investment deserves.
