Yes you can! Most smooth painted surface can be covered with paint protection film.
Yes. XPEL film can be applied over a vinyl wrap or graphic. However, if there are any hard edges that film must cross (as in the case of stripes), it could result in some air being trapped along that edge.
Our Ultimate Plus Series Films have a warranty of 10 years. This warranty covers the following: yellowing, staining, delaminating, cracking, peeling, bubbling, and more.
The XPEL Ultimate Plus Film Series warranty is transferrable to another owner with proof of purchase.
No. XPEL Paint Protection Film cannot be installed on your windshield. This is due to the impact absorbency of paint protection film, which will cause a distortion when looking through the glass.
Yes, XPEL can be installed on your vehicle's headlights and fog lights.
While you can wax the film, be sure the product you are using doesn't contain Naptha or Kerosene in concentrations over 5% and avoid waxes that contain dyes. For best results, we recommend using our XPEL Flawless Finish Paint Protection Film Sealant or XPEL Ceramic Boost. This product has been specially formulated for use with polyurethane paint protection films to provide the maximum protection and gloss, while containing no ingredients that would cause discoloration over time.
Yes. The process is the same as with regular paint: wet the surface with a lubricant such as XPEL Detail Spray or soapy water and then gently rub the surface with the clay bar. For stubborn insect, bird dropping, or hard water stains, use an all-purpose degreaser such as Simple Green as the lubricant for the detailing clay.
No special maintenance is required for XPEL ULTIMATE PLUS. However, the film will last longer and will be easier to clean if treated twice a year with XPEL Flawless Finish Paint Protection Film Sealant.
The clear coat is the self-healing layer and is approximately 13 microns thick. If that layer is penetrated, the film will not heal.
Yes, but please wait at least 48 hours after installation to allow the film to dry completely.
Yes, pressure washers can be used on XPEL paint protection films, provided the film has completely dried after installation (typically 48 hours) and provided the high-pressure water is not pointed directly at the edges of the film.
Yes, we offer complimentary shuttle service to local customers. We can take you to your desired location and pick you up when your vehicle is ready.
