Maintaining the pristine, factory-fresh look on your vehicle is no easy feat, but it’s possible with the right amount of TLC – and paint protection film (PPF). PPF is a means of safeguarding your paint from the elements, stone chips and key marks with an invisible layer of plastic, the idea that you save on regular visits to or from the scratch repair man by investing in a product that forms a barrier over your vehicle’s paintwork, protecting its looks and residual value in the process.
PPF is generally made from a tough, clear, flexible acrylic, urethane or polyurethane film which is applied to a car’s surfaces to protect from stone chips, environmental contaminants, bird lime,
insects, scratches and minor abrasions.
Whilst it is possible to fit smaller sections yourself, with some companies selling pre-cut kits for DIY application, it’s generally best left to the professionals such as Performance 28, an authorised installer
of XPEL PPF.
Depending on your requirements there are several XPEL PPF options to choose from,
including:
ULTIMATE FUSION™
ULTIMATE FUSION ™ is an optically clear, high gloss, self-healing film that protects vehicles from stone chips, scuffs and light scratches. Developed with a hydrophobic top coat, the films naturally slick surface helps repel water, making protected surfaces easier to wash and stay clean.
Signature features of ULTIMATE FUSION ™ include:
• Hydrophobic properties – repels water, dirt and road grime
• Self-healing – advanced top coat properties eliminate fine scratches and swirl marks when exposed to heat
• Protection from the elements – formulated to protect against damaging oxidisation, insect acids, corrosion and contaminants
• Improved surface clarity – increases colour depth, leaving PPF with a smooth and slick finish
• Flawless fit – industry-leading design patterns specified for each make and model
ULTIMATE PLUS ™
Available in three different thicknesses, to offer you the protection you need for exterior and interior surfaces, ULTIMATE PLUS ™ is one of the most advanced PPF films on the market.
When exposed to heat, its enhanced clear coat properties eliminate fine scratches and swirl marks over time. Road grime, bird lime, insects and environmental contaminants will never leave the film stained or yellow, unlike lower quality alternatives.
Built to last, ULTIMATE PLUS ™ is backed by a comprehensive ten year warranty, ensuring your vehicle looks its best for years to come. The entire ULTIMATE PLUS ™ PPF line up is virtually invisible, providing protection from everyday damages including scuffs, scratches, chips and more.
Great for interior and exterior applications, ULTIMATE PLUS ™ 7 protects and restores surfaces, concealing existing damage and providing a renewed finish that’s protected for even longer. No matter where the road leads you, ULTIMATE PLUS ™ 10 PPF is a rugged urethane layer that protections painted surfaces from the harshest environments.
ULTIMATE PLUS ™ BLACK is an opaque layer of urethane film that transforms and protects any paint colour with a deep, gloss black finish that’s made to last.
STEALTH ™
As smooth as satin, whether your vehicle is matte or magno, frozen or frosted, selfhealing STEALTH ™ will keep it looking effortlessly pristine.
When exposed to heat, the enhanced clear coat properties eliminate fine scratches and swirl marks over time. With a unique satin finish, STEALTH ™ helps match most factory flat paint jobs and virtually
disappears on most surfaces. With a finish that’s uniformly smooth, you can add STEALTH ™ to your matte or gloss paint job for a unique satin finish. Flat finishes are notoriously difficult to maintain
and even harder to repair, but STEALTH ™ enables you to easily wash and dry your car
without damaging its sheen.
STEALTH ™ features the same superior impact protection as XPEL’S ULTIMATE PLUS ™ PPF, backed by an industry-leading ten year warranty. For custom applications, STEALTH ™ can be utilised to accentuate gloss aero or carbon fibre, and protect factory flares, splitters and trim pieces.
