Is paint protection
film worth it?

That is where paint protection film comes in. At Best Auto Glass & Window Tint in Visalia, California, we install premium paint protection film to help Central Valley drivers protect the most vulnerable areas of their vehicles.

What is paint protection film?

Paint protection film is a transparent protective film installed directly over your vehicle’s painted surfaces. It creates a sacrificial barrier between your paint and everyday road hazards.

Instead of rocks, debris, bugs and other contaminants hitting the factory paint, the film takes much of that exposure. Installed properly, quality PPF maintains the appearance of the vehicle while adding that layer of protection.

What does it protect against?

PPF is particularly useful for the areas that take constant road exposure. It can help protect against:

• Rock chips
• Road debris
• Bug splatter
• Minor scratches and scuffs
• Environmental contamination
• Everyday wear on high-impact areas

PPF does not make a vehicle indestructible, but it dramatically reduces the everyday paint damage that shows up on frequently driven cars.

Which parts should I protect?

You do not necessarily have to wrap the entire vehicle. For many customers, covering the highest-impact areas is the best balance between cost and protection.

Common areas include the front bumper, hood, fenders, mirrors, rocker panels and other vulnerable painted surfaces. A full-front package is one of the most popular choices, because the front of the vehicle takes the majority of the impact while driving.

For customers who want maximum protection, a full-body installation can cover nearly every painted exterior panel.

Is PPF only for exotic cars?

Absolutely not. It makes sense on anything you want to keep looking good.

We install paint protection film on everything from Teslas and Corvettes to trucks, SUVs, luxury vehicles, daily drivers and family cars. In many cases it makes even more sense on a daily driver, because it is constantly exposed to freeway miles, construction debris, rocks and bugs.

Why protect a brand-new vehicle?

One of the best times to install PPF is when the vehicle is new and the paint is still in excellent condition. Once a rock chip damages the paint, film cannot reverse that damage.

Installing protection early preserves the original finish before years of road exposure take their toll. That is why many customers bring us a new vehicle shortly after taking delivery.

Premium film, long-term protection

At Best Auto Glass & Window Tint, we carry premium paint protection films including STEK and PURE PPF, and our installations include a 10-year warranty.

Our installation warranty covers workmanship-related issues such as lifting or peeling, while applicable manufacturer coverage protects against qualifying film defects such as bubbling, delamination, yellowing or cracking. Specific coverage varies by film, so we will explain the warranty attached to whichever product you choose.

Can you combine PPF with ceramic coating?

Yes, and it is a popular combination. PPF gives physical protection against impacts and road debris, while a ceramic coating adds benefits for exterior maintenance, gloss and surface protection.

For a more complete protection package we can combine paint correction, PPF and ceramic coating, depending on the condition of the vehicle and how far you want to take it.
