Paint Protection Film (PPF) has come a long way—but there are still a lot of myths out there that prevent drivers from taking full advantage of this incredible technology. If you’re on the fence about protecting your car with PPF, let’s clear the air.
At Sun & Shield Automotive Protection, we use industry-leading XPEL ULTIMATE PLUS and STEALTH PPF to give your vehicle the highest level of protection—and it’s time to set the record straight.
Myth #1: PPF Is Only for Exotic or Luxury Cars
Truth: While PPF is popular with high-end vehicles, it’s equally valuable for daily drivers, trucks, SUVs, and new car owners who want to preserve their investment. Whether you drive a Tesla or a Toyota, protecting your paint pays off.
Myth #2: PPF Will Ruin the Look of My Car
Truth: High-quality film like XPEL ULTIMATE PLUS is virtually invisible when professionally installed. Prefer a satin/matte look? XPEL STEALTH can transform glossy paint into a smooth, sleek finish without repainting. Either way, the film enhances the appearance—never diminishes it.
Myth #3: It Peels or Yellows Over Time
Truth: That used to be true… 15 years ago. Today’s top-tier films are UV-resistant and backed by warranties. When installed by professionals like us, your PPF is designed to stay clear, tight, and strong for years.
Myth #4: It’s Too Expensive
Truth: PPF protects against rock chips, bug splatter, road salt, and scratches—preventing costly repaints or bodywork down the line. It’s an investment that saves money over the life of your car, especially if you plan to resell it.
Myth #5: Wax or Ceramic Coating Offers the Same Protection
Truth: Wax and ceramic coatings provide surface protection against contaminants and UV rays—but they don’t defend against physical damage. PPF actually absorbs impacts and resists scratches. You can even combine PPF and ceramic for the ultimate shield.
Bottom line? PPF is a smart, modern way to keep your vehicle looking brand new. At Sun & Shield, we tailor protection packages to fit your budget, lifestyle, and car type.Have questions about PPF? Let’s chat—no pressure, just facts.
