Does XPEL PPF hide scratches?

Yes, if your vehicle’s paint has fine swirl marks and fine scratches the technology in XPEL Paint Protection will ‘heal’ them when you wipe over them with hot water and a cloth, or briefly apply a heat gun to the affected area. It can’t however hide deep scratches and major chips in paintwork.

How does the “self-healing” paint protection technology work?

XPEL paint protection film contains a special elastomeric polymer technology, giving it a rubber-like elasticity. This property enables the protective film to reform and effectively “absorb” light scratches with a simple application of heat.

If you managed to scratch a vehicle covered with an XPEL paint protection film, use one of the two following methods. Both of them will make the scratches disappear!

1. Apply heat to the scratched area using a heat gun
2. Pour hot water over the affected area of the film

What is XPEL Stealth?

What is XPEL Ultimate Plus?

Ultimate Plus is an XPEL product that offers the same benefits as the original XPEL Paint Protection, but it also contains unique Edge Seal Technology that guards against delamination and lifting making it impossible to spot the film around the edges of the vehicle.

Can the ceramic coating be applied over the XPEL Paint Protection Film?

Yes, ceramic coating can be applied over XPEL Paint Protection Film to ensure that your vehicle’s paint is protected in several different ways. Ceramic coating is applied to the surface of a car to repel water, provide UV light protection, and give your vehicle a permanent high-gloss shine.
