Preserve Your Car’s Exterior Shine with Paint Protection

Mother nature can wreak havoc on your car’s paint job, resulting in $1000s in repairs. XPEL’s paint protection film acts as a shield of armor, guarding your car against different kinds of road debris or hazardous conditions. Bring your car down to Sun Stoppers and we’ll give your car’s exterior long-lasting protection.

Advanced Window Tint Options

Traditional window films try to do two things—block heat and look cool. They usually don’t do either of them well. Our advanced window films feature numerous protective benefits and enhance your car's style.

title-icon Prime CS (Good)

When protection from heat isn’t as big a priority, XPEL PRIME CS is an ideal choice. Like XPEL PRIME XR, it blocks 99% of the sun’s damaging UV rays, and it provides a lifetime of color-stable, glare-blocking performance. It will never fade, crack, peel or turn purple like many lesser protection films often do. XPEL PRIME CS’s neutral charcoal finish looks great on any car, and like XPEL PRIME XR, it has a lifetime transferrable warranty.

title-icon Prime XR (Better)

Utilizing a nano-ceramic construction, PRIME XR Ceramic Film maintains the same flawless appearance and clarity for multiple years. Blocking up to 88% of infrared heat, PRIME XR will provide you with the level of performance you expect from a top-of-the-line automotive window tint without breaking the bank.

title-icon Prime XR Plus (Best)

Rejecting infrared heat thanks to a multi-layer nanoparticle technology, PRIME XR PLUS automotive window tint combines a cool look with extreme performance. Stay comfortable and protected in all types of weather with PRIME XR PLUS ceramic film.

FAQs

Do PPF bubbles go away?

If you see a few small bubbles after PPF installation, don’t panic! This is normal and the moisture causing the bubbles will evaporate within a few days. If you see large air bubbles, the PPF was not installed correctly.

Do you need paint correction before paint protection film?

PPF enhances the paint of your car as it is. Since a car is likely to have some uneven paint and minor scratches (even straight from the factory), it’s a good idea to do paint correction before PPF.

Can you install paint protection film yourself?

Technically, yes. However, takes a lot of time, patience, and attention to instructions. If you want it done well and without a headache, it’s best to have a professional install it.

Which PPF is the best?

XPEL (the brand we use) is arguably the best on the market given its 10-year warranty. 

How long does paint protection film last?

XPEL paint protection carries a 10-year warranty against yellowing, cracking, peeling, staining, and hazing, covering both film and labor.

Can paint protection film be removed?

Yes, it can! Sun Stoppers can do this for you. You can try doing it yourself but be very careful—it can pull the clear coat off with the film if not properly removed.

How is clear bra PPF different from ceramic coating?

The paint protection film is thicker than a ceramic coating and has a chemical composition that allows it to self-heal.

Do modern cars need paint protection?

If you are offered paint protection at a dealership, it’s probably best to turn it down. This paint protection isn’t high-quality and doesn’t last long. While there’s no reason you MUST apply a high-quality paint protection film to your vehicle after purchase, it does help you to retain the value of your vehicle.

Can I wash my car after the paint protection film is applied?

Yes—but it’s best to wait at least 48 hours to wash your car after the film is applied. This allows the protective film to dry completely.

What do car dealers use for paint protection?

Different dealerships offer various paint protections, but the most common is some kind of synthetic paint sealants. While these sealants do help to protect your vehicle, they are less effective than ceramic or glass coatings (which are less effective than protective films).

Can you wax a car with paint protection film?

You can apply wax to a vehicle that has a paint protection film. Just make sure the wax doesn’t contain kerosene or naphtha in over 5% concentration. Also, avoid waxes that come with dyes.

Is clear bra for my car the same as paint protection?

Yes, putting clear bra on your car and using PPF are essentially the same thing—just different ways to talk about it.
