Our number one choice: the best PPF brand

After over 13 years of business, at Tinting Chicago, we only install what we consider the best brand that produces PPF — XPEL. Its car paint protection films are strong, durable, and produced according to high-end technologies and deep scientific research. We consider XPEL PPFs the pillar of the car paint protection industry.

While it can be tempting to install less well-known films, we highly don’t recommend doing so, as their quality can be doubtful and damaging for your car’s body (if their adhesive properties don’t allow you to remove them without scratches, for example).  

Cost of Paint Protection Film

The exact cost of applying paint protection depends on the following variables:

• The brand of PPF used
• The area of the vehicle covered
• Intricacy of installation
• Skill of installers

When do dealerships apply paint protection

When you purchase a new car, a dealership will ask whether you’d like to purchase a paint protection package as well. This is an extra that provides protection to your paintwork and helps you keep that just rolled out-of-the-factory look. It’s applied to your vehicle before you drive it out of the showroom.

Dealership paint protection packages usually use high-quality products by a reputable brand XPEL. Trained professionals then apply the film with the application process only taking a matter of hours.

Caring for paint protection products

• Avoid using an automatic car wash
• Don’t use polishing equipment or buffers
• Don’t wipe film when it’s been heated by the sun
• Clean away dirt or grease as fast as possible
• Use a microfiber towel to dry paintwork
• Avoid using dyed paint sealants as they dull the finish.
