XPEL Ultimate Paint Protection Film overview

This company prides itself on being among the only ones that use the most accurate PPF cropping software. DAP (Design Access Program) offers a safe, zero-risk installation solution, eliminating the need and dangers of manual cutting, also reducing installation times, and improving efficiency by 70%.
Advantages of XPEL Ultimate
Due to its optical clarity, the XPEL Ultimate protective body film offers the following benefits:
- it will not dim the light of the headlights;
- ensures 100% protection against weather conditions or in case of superficial scratches caused by other mechanical actions;
- provides protection against rust – when you apply the protective film, the environment between it and the car body is dry and free from moisture, which will prevent the appearance of rust spots; however, if your car already has rust spots, it is best to remove them before applying the protective film;
- resistance to chemical substances;
- it will not change the color of the car.
The XPEL paint protection film has superior optical clarity and is very easy to maintain. When properly cared for, it provides a clear coat and a deep shine, just like freshly applied paint, for many years.
Important things about XPEL Paint Protection
Make sure you always visit the installer’s store before paying a deposit. So, you will be able to see some of their previous work and get more information about their experience. You can use the following website to find an XPEL-approved installer in your area.
The XPEL Ultimate Plus coating comes with a 10-year warranty against hazing, yellowing, discoloration, staining, swirl marks, peeling, and/or cracking. The company will replace it in case it fails and will also include the labor in the price.
It is recommended by XPEL to ask the installer to coat the edges where it is possible. Your car will get a cleaner look by having wrapped edges of the panel.
After your car has been protected with XPEL protective film, you can enjoy it knowing that maintaining the glossy appearance of the PPF is very simple. It is recommended not to wash the car for at least 48 hours after applying the PPF and not to use a strong jet at less than one meter in order not to risk peeling the edges.
