The Benefits of Installing PPF on vehicle

Why This Customer Now Gets PPF on Every New Car she Buys - A Real Shop Experience

As a shop owner, I've seen it time and time again, someone brings in a brand new vehicle, excited about keeping it looking flawless, only to discover it's already picked up rock chips, something in just a few hundred miles. That's exactly what happened with one of our recent customers, Megan.

The Shock of Rock Chips on a New Car

Megan brought in her brand new SUV, barely a month off the dealership lot. She came in thinking she was just going to get PPF installed to protect her long-term. But as we did our usual walk around and inspection, we pointed out several small rock chips already scattered across her front bumper and hood. She was stunned, "how could it have this many Chips already? I've barely even driven it!" We explained what we've seen over the years, how even short highway drives or road construction zones can kick up debris that damages unprotected paint. Today's softer, ECO-friendly clear coats are more prone to chipping, and the front bumper is the first line of defense.

The Fix: Paint + PPF

Megan didn't want to leave the bumper with visible chips, especially since the vehicle was still new. So, we cleared a spot in our paint department to repaint the hood and front bumper. Once it was cured and perfectly matched, we went ahead and did a full front PPF install. We used XPEL Film with self healing properties, making sure to wrap all edges and provide maximum protection against future chips, scratches, and road rash.

A Lesson Learned and a Long-Term Plan

When Megan picked up her vehicle, she couldn't believe how flawless it looked, like noting had ever happen. She told us: "I Wish I knew to do this before I left the dealership. From now on, every car I buy is getting PPF right away." And That's really the takeaway: PPF isn't just a luxury, it's a smart investment, especially for people who want their vehicle to stay looking brand new. It's easier and cheaper to protect paint than to repair or repaint it later.
