Paint protection film is the only thing on this list that physically stops damage. It is roughly 200 microns of elastomeric urethane bonded to your clear coat, and it takes the stone, the trolley, the bush and the road debris that would otherwise put a chip in a panel you cannot economically replace.
XPEL Ultimate Plus self-heals: light swirls and fine scratches in the film close up with heat, so the surface does not accumulate the dullness that bare paint does over years of washing. Fitted properly on prepared paint, a gloss film is invisible — what you see on a bad install is lifted edges, trapped dirt and relief cuts in the middle of a panel, and that is workmanship rather than product.
Everything we fit is pattern-cut from XPEL’s software library for your exact make, model and year. Nothing is trimmed with a blade on your paintwork.
Coverage planner
Work out what you actually need
Start from how coverage is normally sold, then add or drop panels on the car. The colour of each panel is its real stone-damage risk — which is why the cheapest option here protects the most.
Tap a panel to add or remove it. Colour shows where stone damage actually lands — red is the highest risk on the car.

Questions
Paint Protection Film, answered
The specifics people ask about this discipline in particular. The general questions live on the FAQ page.
How much of the car should I cover?
Start where the damage lands. The front bumper, bonnet leading edge, mirrors, headlights and A-pillars take the overwhelming majority of stone chips, which makes a partial front the highest-value coverage on almost any vehicle. From there you can step up to a full front, add rocker panels and rear arches, or go full-body. We map it on your actual car rather than sell you a tier.
Is the film cut on my car?
No. Every pattern comes out of XPEL’s software library for your specific make, model and year, plotted and cut before it comes near the vehicle. Hand-trimming film on a customer’s paint with a blade is how clear coat gets scored, and we do not do it.
What is TracWrap and when would I want it?
TracWrap is a temporary film for track days and long road trips. It goes on quickly over the front end, takes the abuse of a weekend of gravel and rubber, and comes off afterwards without the cost or permanence of a full install. It is protection for an event, not for the life of the car.
Can film go over trim, wheels and interior surfaces?
Yes — that is what the surface and interior films are for. Surface protection film covers chrome, painted trim and wheels; interior film goes over screens, piano-black centre consoles and the door-sill and loading-lip areas that scuff first. The interior of a modern car is often more expensive to refinish than a bumper.
Does colour PPF replace a wrap?
It does the job of a wrap and adds the job of film. A vinyl colour wrap changes appearance and offers minimal impact protection; XPEL colour PPF changes appearance while still being a self-healing protective film over the original paint. It costs more than vinyl and it is worth more.
