About XPEL Paint Protection Film
Choose the XPEL Protection That Fits Your Vehicle.
Preserve your factory gloss, protect matte paint, create a satin finish, or make routine washing easier. We’ll help you compare XPEL films and choose coverage around your vehicle and how you drive.
Protection Built Around the Finish You Want
XPEL Paint Protection Film, often called PPF or clear bra, is a urethane protective film installed over painted surfaces. It creates a replaceable physical layer designed to take everyday road exposure before the paint underneath.
Depending on the XPEL film selected, you can preserve clear gloss, protect a factory matte or satin finish, create a satin appearance, or add built-in hydrophobic behavior for easier routine washing.
At Kickin’ Customs in Raynham, we help match the film and coverage to your vehicle, finish and driving use.
Why We Use XPEL Paint Protection Film
Heat-Activated Self-Healing Topcoat
Fine marks in the film’s topcoat can become less visible with warmth. Deep cuts and damage through the film do not self-heal.
Clear and Finish-Specific Options
Choose clear gloss, hydrophobic clear gloss, satin STEALTH, and other specialized XPEL protection options depending on the project.
Vehicle-Specific Patterns
XPEL offers patterns tailored to vehicle panels, helping installers plan consistent coverage and fit. We choose the installation approach around your vehicle and the finish you want.
Three XPEL Films. Three Clear Priorities.
XPEL ULTIMATE PLUS
Clear Gloss Protection
ULTIMATE PLUS is the core clear-gloss XPEL Paint Protection Film. It keeps the original paint color and gloss visible while adding a physical protective layer over the covered panels.
Its self-healing topcoat can make fine film marks less visible with warmth. It is a strong starting point for owners who want protection without intentionally changing the factory gloss appearance.
Best for: Daily drivers, performance vehicles, luxury vehicles, trucks and SUVs where preserving clear gloss is the priority.

XPEL ULTIMATE FUSION
Clear Gloss Protection With Easier Cleaning
ULTIMATE FUSION is clear-gloss Paint Protection Film with an integrated hydrophobic surface. It performs the physical-protection role of PPF while helping water and grime release more easily during routine washing.
Best for: Owners who want clear-gloss physical protection with easier routine maintenance.
Explore Hydrophobic PPF
XPEL STEALTH
Satin Protection for Matte or Gloss Paint
XPEL STEALTH protects suitable factory matte, satin, frozen and similar low-sheen finishes without intentionally adding gloss.
It can also be installed over gloss paint to create a satin appearance while adding the physical protection of Paint Protection Film.
Best for: Factory-matte protection or a deliberate gloss-to-satin conversion.
Explore STEALTH PPFULTIMATE FUSION is a film. FUSION PLUS is XPEL’s ceramic coating family. A coating supports surface care; it does not replace the physical barrier of PPF.

Explore Interior PPFThe Film Matters. So Does the Finished Installation.
A clean finish starts with careful preparation and coverage planned around your vehicle. We pay attention to panel shapes, edges, trim, and exposed areas so the installation protects the places that matter and looks right on the vehicle.
Plan the coverage
We review the vehicle, starting finish and areas taking the most wear, then confirm the coverage boundaries for the project.
Use the right installation method
We use vehicle-specific patterns where appropriate, then modify patterns or use suitable custom methods when additional coverage or finishing is needed.
Finish and inspect
Accessible edges and transition areas are planned around the vehicle and selected package. We inspect alignment and finish before collection, explain care and schedule the complimentary three-week follow-up.

Explore PPF Coverage
Different Vehicles Put Wear in Different Places
The best coverage is not determined by vehicle price alone. Body shape, tire width, highway mileage, winter use and the areas exposed to debris all affect where protection is most useful.
Daily Drivers
Highway mileage, seasonal road grit, construction zones and daily debris can make front-end and rocker protection especially useful.
Performance Vehicles
Low front ends, wide tires, exposed splitters and aggressive bodywork can concentrate debris on areas beyond a traditional front-end package.
Trucks and SUVs
Rockers, lower doors, flares, rear quarter panels and bedsides can see repeated debris depending on tire setup and use.
Luxury and Collector Vehicles
Broader protection can help preserve original paint and reduce avoidable cosmetic repair where maintaining the original finish matters.
How Much of the Vehicle Do You Want to Protect?
Front-End Coverage
Focus protection on the front panels that meet road debris first. Exact package coverage is confirmed for your vehicle.
Expanded-Impact Coverage
Extend protection to additional exposed areas such as rockers, lower bodywork, A-pillars, leading roof areas or wheel-impact zones.
Full Painted-Body Coverage
Protect the painted exterior more broadly, with specialty surfaces and exact boundaries confirmed before booking.
There is no single best coverage level for every owner. Your driving, vehicle shape and ownership priorities help determine the right plan.
Support Beyond Installation
Manufacturer Warranty
Qualifying XPEL PPF installations carry the applicable manufacturer warranty. Product terms, exclusions and registration requirements depend on the selected film.
ULTIMATE FUSION requires annual manufacturer-warranty inspections, separate from our three-week workmanship follow-up.
Workmanship and Replacement Support
Kickin’ Customs workmanship coverage is separate and requires the complimentary three-week inspection. Qualifying original PPF installations may also include the existing No-Fault replacement assistance under its written terms.
Care
Wait seven days before washing and allow approximately two to three weeks for settling. Contact us promptly about contamination on fresh film. After the no-wash period, use gentle washing and products suited to your film. Wait until the film is fully cured before pressure washing, keep the nozzle at least three feet from film edges, and never spray directly into edges or seams. Use Ceramic Boost every six months where appropriate for your film and care plan.

Questions About XPEL PPF
What does paint protection film help with?
PPF adds a replaceable physical layer over covered panels to help reduce chips, scuffs and everyday road wear. Severe impacts can still damage film or paint.
Which XPEL film keeps a gloss finish?
ULTIMATE PLUS, ULTIMATE PLUS 10 (10 mil), and ULTIMATE FUSION are clear-gloss choices that keep the original paint color and gloss visible. We help compare them around your priorities.
What is the difference between ULTIMATE PLUS and ULTIMATE FUSION?
ULTIMATE PLUS is the core clear-gloss protective film. ULTIMATE FUSION adds an integrated hydrophobic surface for easier routine washing. Product-specific terms and care still apply.
Can STEALTH protect factory matte paint or change gloss paint?
Yes. STEALTH can protect a suitable factory matte or satin finish, or create a satin appearance over gloss paint. We review the existing sheen and plan coverage for the result you want.
Is ULTIMATE FUSION the same as FUSION PLUS?
No. ULTIMATE FUSION is paint protection film with a built-in hydrophobic surface. FUSION PLUS is XPEL’s ceramic coating family. A coating supports surface care but does not replace the physical barrier of PPF.
Will self-healing remove every scratch?
No. Warmth can make fine marks in the film’s topcoat less visible. Deep cuts, hard impacts and damage through the film do not self-heal.
Can XPEL PPF be removed later?
Yes. PPF can be professionally removed when needed. Older, repaired or poorly bonded paint needs particular care and assessment because the condition of the paint can affect removal.
Can PPF be installed over existing chips or repaired paint?
Existing chips, deep scratches, paint repairs and clear-coat defects may remain visible beneath the film. We assess paint condition and adhesion before installation and may recommend preparation or repair first.
Do I need full-body coverage?
Not every owner needs full painted-body coverage. Driving use, body shape, exposed areas and ownership priorities help determine whether front-end, expanded-impact or broader coverage is appropriate.
Can I request a recommendation before choosing a film?
Yes. Enter your year, make and model and leave either optional selector at Help me choose. We’ll help compare films and coverage for your vehicle.
