Paint protection film is a clear urethane material that is applied to the painted surfaces of a car. The film acts as a sacrificial layer, protecting the paint from chips, scratches, and staining.
There are many reasons to get paint protection film for your car. The most obvious reason is to protect your car from rock chips. A good paint job can last for years, but it can be easily ruined by rocks, gravel, and other road debris. By protecting your paint with a clear film, you can keep your finish chip free.
In addition to protecting your paint, paint protection film can also help preserve the value of your car. If you ever decide to sell your car, a well-maintained finish can get you higher resell value.
PPF or Ceramic Coating — Which Do You Need?
They solve different problems, and a lot of cars get both. Here's the difference in plain terms.
Paint Protection Film
A physical film that absorbs impacts. It stops rock chips, scratches, and road debris from ever reaching the paint — the kind of damage a coating can't prevent.
Ceramic Coating
A liquid that cures to a hard, glossy, water-shedding shell. It makes washing easier and adds chemical and UV resistance — but it won't stop a rock chip.
The common setup is PPF on the high-impact front end and a ceramic coating over the rest of the car — including over the film itself. Weighing the two? We break it down on our ceramic coating page, or just ask us when you book.
The Install Matters as Much as the Film
PPF is only as good as the hands applying it. Bad installs lift at the edges, trap dirt, and bubble. Done right, you shouldn't be able to tell it's there.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does paint protection film last?
A quality professional install typically lasts 7 to 10 years depending on the package and how the car is driven and maintained. Your STEK warranty covers it for the manufacturer’s stated term.
Does PPF turn yellow over time?
Older films did. Modern STEK film has UV inhibitors built into the top coat, so it stays clear instead of yellowing the way older urethane films used to.
Can I have both PPF and ceramic coating?
Yes, and many customers do. PPF handles physical impacts on the front end; ceramic coating adds gloss and easy cleaning over the whole car. They layer well together.
Will it damage my paint when it's removed?
No. Professionally installed film is made to be removable without harming factory paint. We remove and replace film cleanly.
Is PPF worth it?
If you plan to keep the car, drive a lot of freeway miles, or care about resale value, PPF keeps the factory finish chip-free and pays off over time. A repaint or chip repair costs far more than protecting the paint up front.
