XPEL Paint Protection Film: Super Safeguard Against Paintwork Damage

XPEL Paint Protection is a high-quality transparent polyurethane film that is applied to the bodywork of a vehicle to guard against damage caused to the paintwork by rock chips and flying stones. XPEL film is the ultimate in paint protection. Unlike lower quality alternatives it is highly durable, virtually invisible, and contains ‘self-healing’ technology that removes fine scratches and swirl marks through the simple application of heat to the affected area. Sounds amazing? It is amazing!

When installed on a new car, XPEL Paint Protection Film is invisible to the naked eye. The fact it comes in gloss and matte finishes means it can effortlessly match factory paint and custom paint finishes. XPEL Paint Protection lasts for between 10 and 15 years, with the idea being that when you eventually remove it, your paintwork will be as good as the day it rolled out of the factory.

Invest in your investment and install XPEL Paint Protection on your vehicles’ painted surfaces today. For more information call Tinting Chicago at 773-455-0467 or 312-212-0493.

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 ‘self-healing’ paint protection technology work?

XPEL Paint Protection Film contains a special elastomeric polymer technology with a rubber-like elasticity. This elasticity enables the protective film to reform and effectively erase light scratches through the application of heat.

If you sustain scratches to any vehicle with XPEL Paint Protection Film, use one of the two following methods to remove them. Both methods will result in the film reforming and the scratches miraculously disappearing!

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

What is XPEL Stealth?

XPEL Stealth is a type of paint protection film that can be applied to a gloss finish or matte finish car to create a satin finish. It has the same self-healing properties as the original XPEL Paint Protection Film.

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 ceramic coating be applied to XPEL Paint Protection Film?

Yes, ceramic coating can be applied to 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. It also makes it far easier to clean bird droppings, tree sap, and squashed insects from your paintwork – it guards against film stained by bug acids.
