Paint Protection Film The Ultimate Surface Protector In Texas
Paint Protection Film (PPF), also known as a “clear bra,” is an almost invisible, self-healing urethane film that safeguards your vehicle’s paint. This protective film shields your car from road debris, chips, and scratches that often occur during regular driving. Not only does it act as a defense against these damages, but PPF also offers protection against UV damage, preserving the vehicle’s color and ensuring it looks brand new for years to come.
We provide installation services for both glossy, or “clear,” paint protection film and matte, or “stealth,” finishes.
At Ceramic Coat Texas, our team consists of fully trained and certified SunTek installers for Paint Protection Film, guaranteeing our work and ensuring customer satisfaction!

OUR PAINT PROTECTION FILM PROCESS
STEP 1: THE PREPARATION
We meticulously wash your car, ensuring it’s free of dirt and grime. Following that, we carefully polish out any pre-existing scratches, setting the stage for a remarkable transformation. This thorough preparation is a crucial step we undertake at Ceramic Coat Texas, guaranteeing exceptional results that endure.
- Thorough hand wash
- Decontamination process.
- Paint correction treatment.
- Comprehensive wipe-down of all panels.
- Preparation includes removing additional body parts, emblems, headlights, taillights, and spoilers.
STEP 2: PRECUTTING
A professional installer will precisely cut the material to fit smaller areas like door edges or fenders, minimizing PPF wastage.
Pre-cutting aids in better fitting PPF on smaller surfaces such as headlights, door jambs, and grilles, enhancing overall coverage and protection.
STEP 3: FITTING
Fitting is a meticulous and time-intensive stage during installation. Certain manufacturers produce products tailored for specific surfaces, requiring precise application of the film to match those areas accurately.
Skillfully fitting the film demands time and expertise, ensuring comprehensive protection against road debris, rock chips, and various defects thanks to its self-healing technology, offering ultimate assurance for your vehicle’s safety.
STEP 4: APPLYING THE SOLUTION
Each PPF product features a unique formula that facilitates the bonding of the film to your vehicle’s surface. While the film includes its adhesive, this alone won’t bond without a specialized solution. By applying the solution onto the film, it activates the adhesive, allowing the film to create a protective layer over your vehicle.
STEP 5: FINAL TRIMMING
During the final trim step, our aim is to ensure the paint protection film envelops various surfaces and edges of your car’s exterior. By applying this protective layer, we aim to seal every vulnerable surface, safeguarding against scratches and other damaging elements. This meticulous approach ensures a seamless installation.
STEP 6: DRYING
The polyurethane needs adequate time to fully dry on the automotive body, often taking several hours. However, this thorough drying process is crucial as it strengthens the film, ensuring your vehicle is shielded from light scratches. This meticulous process guarantees long-lasting protection for years to come.
