10 mil Paint Protection Film

Extra protection where your vehicle takes the hardest hits.

More Film Where Exposure Is Highest

XPEL ULTIMATE PLUS 10 adds a thicker, clear protective layer for highway miles, track days, gravel roads and off-road use. It helps reduce chips, scuffs and road rash on covered panels while keeping your original paint color and gloss visible.

Use it on selected impact areas, combine it with standard film elsewhere, or plan broader coverage around the vehicle you want to protect.

Built Around Your Driving

Where Does Your Paint Take the Most Wear?

Stone chips and road rash often build up in the same exposed areas. Match added film thickness to the way you drive and the panels taking that wear.

Highway Miles and New England Winter Grit

Highway miles on Route 24, I-95 and I-195 can repeatedly expose the front end and lower body to loose stones, roadwork debris and winter grit.

10 mil film adds a thicker protective layer over the panels taking that wear. Coverage can include the bumper, hood, fenders and rockers, with the exact areas planned around your vehicle.

Track Days and Performance Driving

Track sessions can repeatedly expose the front end, rockers and rear wheel-impact areas to tire rubber and loose debris. Wider tires and body design can also concentrate wear beyond the front bumper.

10 mil film adds thickness over those impact areas while keeping the original gloss finish visible. We can plan selected-panel, mixed-thickness or broader coverage around your vehicle and how you use it.

Gravel Roads and Off-Road Use

Loose stones and tire spray can strike lower doors, rockers, flares and bedsides on gravel roads and during off-road use.

10 mil film can add protection to exposed painted panels. We review the bodywork and areas around the wheels, then plan selected-panel or extended coverage for the surfaces you want to preserve.

Preparation and Finishing Matter

Kickin’ Customs is fully licensed and insured. We plan your installation around the vehicle, paint condition and selected coverage.

Prepare the surface

We inspect paint condition, existing film, coatings and repairs, then wash and decontaminate the vehicle. Preparation is matched to the finish and film.

Plan the finish

Vehicle-specific patterns, modified precuts and bulk methods help us plan panel boundaries and accessible wrapped edges. We remove emblems where applicable. Other disassembly is confirmed for your vehicle.

Install and inspect

Installation takes place in our climate-controlled, brightly lit Raynham shop. We check alignment, edges and panel transitions before reviewing care with you.

Questions Before You Book

What does 10 mil mean, and how does it compare with 8 mil?

A mil is one-thousandth of an inch. Standard ULTIMATE PLUS is nominally 8 mil, approximately 0.008 inch. ULTIMATE PLUS 10 is nominally 10 mil, approximately 0.010 inch. That is 25% more thickness, not a measured 25% improvement in protection.

When is additional thickness useful?

Frequent highway mileage, repeated track sessions, gravel, loose surfaces and off-road driving can make added film thickness useful. Tire width and vehicle shape help identify the front-end and lower-body areas you want to protect.

Will it change my paint’s appearance, and does it self-heal?

ULTIMATE PLUS 10 is clear gloss film that keeps the original paint color visible. Its self-healing topcoat can soften fine scratches and swirl marks with warmth. Self-healing does not repair the paint underneath or deep cuts and punctures in the film.

Can I combine standard and 10 mil PPF?

Yes. We can use 10 mil on selected impact areas and standard 8 mil ULTIMATE PLUS elsewhere. You can also request broader or full painted-body 10 mil coverage, with vehicle-specific suitability and finishing confirmed before installation.

Which panels can I protect, including headlights?

Common choices include the front bumper, hood, fenders, rockers, mirrors, A-pillars, leading roof and areas behind the wheels. Trucks may also benefit from lower-door, flare and bedside coverage. We review headlight coverage separately for your vehicle and lens condition.

How is hydrophobic PPF different from thicker PPF?

Film thickness and water repellency describe different features. ULTIMATE PLUS 10 adds thickness, while ULTIMATE FUSION includes a water-repelling surface designed to make cleaning easier.

Can a ceramic coating go over 10 mil PPF?

Yes. A compatible coating can complement the film with water repellency and easier cleaning. We confirm a product suited to your film and care routine.

Can damaged film be replaced or removed?

An affected section can often be replaced panel by panel. Professional removal is recommended. Repainted, repaired or poorly bonded paint can carry additional removal risk, so we review the starting condition before work.

What warranty and follow-up support are included?

Qualifying ULTIMATE PLUS 10 installations carry XPEL’s 10-year limited manufacturer warranty, subject to product terms and exclusions. Kickin’ Customs workmanship coverage requires the complimentary three-week inspection. The separate replacement benefit has its own written eligibility terms.

How much does a 10 mil installation cost, and how long does it take?

We provide a vehicle-specific quote based on the panels, film combination, paint condition, preparation and finishing work. Extended, mixed-film and full-body projects may take multiple days. We confirm timing and pricing with your quote.

Can I request a quote without choosing coverage?

Yes. Enter your year, make and model, and add any areas of concern in the optional notes. We’ll help you choose the coverage and confirm the installation price.

What are the limits of PPF protection?

PPF helps reduce many chips, scuffs and road-rash marks. Severe impacts can cut or puncture the film and damage paint underneath. It does not prevent dents or collision damage, and it does not repair damage already present.

Will every edge be hidden and every emblem removed?

We plan accessible wrapped edges around the panel design. We remove emblems where applicable. Other disassembly is confirmed for your vehicle.

All installations take place at Kickin’ Customs, 244 North Main Street, Raynham, MA 02767. We serve Southeastern Massachusetts, the South Shore, Taunton and Bridgewater areas, Plymouth County, the Attleboro area and Rhode Island. Call 617-431-6858 or use the quote form to plan your visit.
