Winchester Paint Protection Film PPF

WHAT IS PAINT PROTECTION FILM?
Paint Protection Film (PPF) is a virtually invisible, high-performance layer of polyurethane or polymer that acts as a shield for your vehicle’s paint. Designed to guard against rock chips, road grime, bug splatter, surface scratches, and harmful UV rays, it helps preserve that fresh-off-the-lot look. Think of it like armor for your car’s finish—similar to a screen protector on your phone. When applied to a new vehicle, it helps lock in and maintain the original paint’s gloss and clarity, all while protecting its long-term value.
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF PPF?
Paint Protection Film (PPF) is an advanced urethane technology that creates an invisible shield between your vehicle’s paint and environmental hazards. This virtually invisible barrier:
Protects against rock chips and road debris
Prevents UV damage and oxidation
Resists chemical stains and etching
Features self-healing properties
Preserves your vehicle's resale value

FAQs
-
Paint protection film is a clear thermoplastic urethane (TPU) film that we apply to painted surfaces. It takes the impact from gravel, road debris and light scratches, so the paint underneath does not.
-
PPF can last up to 10 years, varying based on circumstances such as exposure to harsh weather, road debris, and how the vehicle is maintained/stored. Over the long term, it may show signs of wear or slight yellowing, at which time it can be professionally removed and reinstalled.
-
Our packages start at $2,500 for a Full Front, $3,750 for a Track Pack and $8,500 for a Full Car. Add-ons start at $400 for high-traffic areas and $600 for windshield PPF. The final price depends on the make, model and year of your vehicle, so request a quote.
-
Any painted surface can benefit from PPF, even headlights/taillights and windshields. Our film is precisely cut to the contours of your vehicle. Paint flaws or condition are the mitigating factors in determining whether PPF can be applied or not. Faded paint, cracked paint, failing clear coat, rock chips, etc. cannot be hidden by PPF and these problems should be fixed before purchasing a paint protection film package.
-
PPF is nearly invisible when professionally installed, and it should not visually affect the look of your vehicle’s paint. In some cases, it will make it look better. Our expert installation methods will ensure a smooth, undetectable finish. When requested or as the job allows, we will do our absolute best to not have seams or lines showing to the naked eye.
-
They do different jobs. PPF is a physical layer, so it absorbs impact from rock chips and scratches. A ceramic coating is a thin chemical layer, but it adds gloss and makes washing easier. Many owners use both.
-
STEK designed DYNOshield so that light swirls and scratches heal with heat or hot water. A deep cut that goes through the film will not heal.
-
STEK states a 10-year manufacturer warranty against yellowing, cracking, bubbling and delamination on DYNOshield. STEK sets the terms, and they depend on a professional install, so ask us for the details.
-
Just like with anything, the more you take care of something – the longer it will last. Paint protection film certainly will protect your vehicle, make it less susceptible to environmental damage, and ensure it is easier to clean. We still recommend and advise you to follow some kind of cleaning maintenance whether it be with us or on your own. This will allow the PPF to last as close to that 10 year warranty or beyond as possible.

While we hope you would choose us, we know there are many options out there. Ask yourself how you feel with them as you’re discussing the options for your vehicle. We ask how the car lives its life and how you live with the car and keep your best interests in mind. We aren’t just giving you the package prices and letting you pick. Do they hand trim on your paint and potentially risk cutting it and causing damage? How many cars have they done? What does the facility look like where your car will be worked on? These are just some of the questions that should be answered easily.
