Why choose XPEL PPF over other films?

Not all PPF is created equal, and the difference becomes obvious over time. XPEL is widely regarded as one of the leading films in the industry, offering superior clarity, durability, and long-term performance compared to lower-grade alternatives.

  • Advanced self-healing properties for light scratches
  • Resistance to yellowing and staining
  • High optical clarity with minimal texture
  • Backed by a 10-year manufacturer warranty

Cheaper films can discolour, lift, or show heavy texture much sooner. With XPEL, you’re investing in a product that’s designed to last – and look right for years.

XPEL Stealth PPF provides the same level of protection against stone chips, scratches and road debris as as our standard gloss PPF. The difference is solely down to which finish you would prefer.

Precision Installation from Start to Finish

Our Process

Our XPEL PPF installations deliver precision applications with expert preparation. Our team follows a proven process to deliver a premium service and protection that lasts.

PPF Installation Process At AWC Protect

Prep

Before installation begins, the vehicle undergoes a thorough preparation process to ensure the paintwork is perfectly clean and ready for film application. The precise PPF pattern is then selected from a digital database and cut using our Graphtec PPF plotter, ensuring an accurate fit for your vehicle.

FAQs

XPEL PPF

We have answered some of the most common questions about our XPEL paint protection film services. To discuss XPEL PPF with our expert eam, get in touch today.

Is XPEL PPF visible once installed?

No. When installed correctly, XPEL PPF is virtually invisible. Using pre-cut patterns and refined installation techniques, we minimise visible edges and ensure a clean, seamless finish.

Does XPEL PPF really self-heal?

Yes it does. XPEL film has self-healing properties, meaning light scratches and swirl marks can disappear with heat (such as warm water or sunlight), helping the film maintain its appearance over time.

How long does XPEL PPF last?

XPEL offers a 10-year warranty against yellowing, cracking, and failure. With proper care, the film will continue to protect your vehicle and maintain its clarity for many years.

Will installing PPF affect my paintwork?

No, your paintwork will be fine. PPF is applied safely to the surface of the paint and can be removed in the future without causing damage, preserving the original condition of the vehicle.

How is XPEL PPF installed?

We use a combination of pre-cut patterns and bespoke adjustments to achieve the best possible finish.

  • No cutting directly on the vehicle
  • Panels are carefully prepared beforehand
  • Edges are refined for a cleaner look

This ensures both maximum protection and a high-end finish.
