Paint Protection Film (PPF) in Redlands, CA

Protect your vehicle’s paint from rock chips, road debris, and everyday wear with professional paint protection film installation from Elite Detailing.

What Is Paint Protection Film?

Paint Protection Film (PPF) is more than a clear layer over your paint. It is a durable, virtually invisible barrier designed to protect your vehicle from rock chips, road debris, scratches, and minor abrasions. We proudly offer PPF by XPEL, along with Liquid Protection Film (LPF) by NanoPro—two options designed to help resist rock chips and everyday road hazards.

Unlike waxes or ceramic coatings, PPF creates a physical shield between your vehicle’s paint and road hazards. Its tough, flexible film helps absorb impacts while preserving the factory finish and maintaining a clean, glossy appearance.

Professionally installed PPF is especially valuable on high-impact areas such as the front bumper, hood, fenders, mirrors, and rocker panels, helping keep your vehicle looking newer for longer.

PPF FAQs

What is Paint Protection Film (PPF)?

Paint Protection Film (PPF) is a clear, durable film professionally applied to your vehicle’s painted surfaces to provide physical protection against rock chips, road debris, scratches, and minor abrasions. It is especially effective on high impact areas such as the front bumper, hood, fenders, mirrors, rocker panels, and other areas exposed to road wear.

Should I get PPF or a ceramic coating?

PPF and ceramic coating protect your vehicle in different ways. PPF provides physical protection against impacts and road debris, while ceramic coating creates a hydrophobic, gloss-enhancing layer that helps repel water, dirt, and environmental contaminants. Many vehicles benefit from both, with PPF applied to high-impact areas and ceramic coating used across the remaining painted surfaces.

How long does PPF installation take?

PPF installation time depends on the vehicle’s size, the areas being protected, the complexity of the installation, and the condition of the paint. A front bumper or entry package may take less time than full front, track pack, or full car coverage. We recommend contacting our team for an accurate time estimate based on your vehicle and package.

How much does Paint Protection Film cost?

PPF pricing depends on the vehicle, coverage area, film type, and installation complexity. Elite Detailing Inc. offers Entry coverage starting at $600, with additional package options such as Partial Front, Full Front, Track Pack, and Full Car protection. For the most accurate quote, contact us with your vehicle details and preferred coverage.

How long does Paint Protection Film last, and is it warrantied?

The lifespan of PPF depends on the film, installation quality, driving conditions, and maintenance. Professionally installed film can provide years of protection when properly cared for. Warranty coverage can vary by film type and package, so our team can review the applicable warranty details with you before installation.

Is PPF worth it for a daily driver?

Yes. Daily drivers are often the best candidates for PPF because they see regular exposure to rock chips, road debris, bug splatter, sand, and parking lot wear. Protecting high-impact areas helps preserve factory paint, reduce visible road damage, and keep the vehicle looking newer longer.

How do I maintain Paint Protection Film?

Maintain PPF by washing the vehicle regularly with safe wash methods, avoiding harsh brushes, removing bugs and bird droppings quickly, and using clean microfiber towels. Avoid aggressive polishing on the film edges and let us know the vehicle has PPF before any future detailing or correction work.

Can PPF be installed on new and used vehicles?

Yes. PPF can be installed on both new and used vehicles. New vehicles benefit from protection before road damage starts, while used vehicles may need paint cleaning, decontamination, or correction before installation. The film protects the condition underneath it, so proper prep helps achieve the cleanest result.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Elite Auto is probably one of the best experiences I’ve had with paid service. From the initial call to cashing out the customer service and support were exceptional. Neil treated me as if I were a VIP customer and Andrew delivered the most professional breakdown of all the treatment my truck received. My truck looks amazing and my money  well spent. The  team at Elite Detailing makes you feel appreciated. Thank you.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This shop was an excellent experience from start to finish. I went with an IGL Kenzo ceramic coating for my Durango and chose this shop since they're the only master certified installers/dealers that I could find in the area. The pricing is reasonable, the staff are knowledgeable, professional, and you can tell they really care about the quality of the work that they do. If I need another car ceramic coated, I'll definitely use this shop again. Thank you, Andrew, and Neil!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Elite Car Detailing delivered excellent quality in both their work and service. Both of our cars looked fantastic afterward, and they even restored the headlight covers on our 2015 Corolla to look like new. We’re very happy with the results and would gladly recommend them to anyone looking to refresh their vehicles.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I just got out the Army coming from Fort Bliss in TX and my car went though long periods of not being used in that dry heat just baking on top of the sand storms and machine car washes  had my car looking rough. Neo the man with the plan and his workers / other partners did a collaboration to make my car pretty much brand new for a 2017 vehicle. They really care about your vehicle and texting or calling at anytime wasn’t a problem at all. I highly recommend you come here and feel that joy of seeing your vehicle go that transformation. The hospitality and the people here are genuinely good people. Thank you guys for bringing life back into my car.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. They did fantastic job putting a ceramic coat on my Tacoma. I was shocked how easy it is to wash my truck now. The water blew right off to making drying so much faster. The surface is nice to touch. My truck looks new. All staff were very nice and helpful at giving advice and recommendations for maintenance.  I will definitely go back there again.
