Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is Paint Protection Film (PPF)?
PPF is a clear urethane film that defends your vehicle’s paint from chips, scuffs, and city debris. It’s ideal for Arlington drivers navigating Route 2, tight parking, and busy commuter roads.
2. How long does PPF last?
XPEL PPF is warrantied for 10 years. It’s built to endure Arlington’s winters, salt exposure, and daily wear from congested traffic.
3. Is PPF better than ceramic coating?
They’re often paired. PPF stops physical damage like chips and dings, while ceramic coatings protect against stains and water spots. Many Arlington customers choose both.
4. Does Paint Protection Film affect how my car looks?
No. XPEL films are crystal-clear and self-healing. Arlington drivers can pick gloss for depth or satin for a more understated, custom appearance.
5. Can I finance my PPF install?
Yes. We offer 0% financing with Synchrony Car Care. Many Arlington customers appreciate spreading out the cost of high-end protection.
6. Is PPF worth it for Arlington winters?
Absolutely. Snow, salt trucks, and stop-and-go driving can wear on paint fast. PPF adds long-term durability for Arlington-area roads.
7. Do you offer PPF for Teslas and luxury vehicles in Arlington?
Yes. We apply precision-cut PPF to Teslas, luxury sedans, and SUVs for Arlington clients who demand a clean, OEM-like finish.
