Paint Protection Film

A clear, self-healing film that stops rock chips, scratches and stains before they ever reach your paint. Here’s how it works, which coverage fits your car, and how to get started.

  • Virtually invisible
  • Self-heals light scratches
  • 10-year XPEL warranty

Car Paint Protection Film

Paint Protection Film is one of the best ways to protect your investment and ultimately keep your car looking new, forever. Unfortunately, modern vehicles are painted with water-based paints that chip more easily and are more prone to scratching.

  • Stops rock chips before they happen

    XPEL Ultimate’s Self-Healing Film is the answer to both these problems. It deflects stones and debris to eliminate rock chips on your vehicle.

  • Heals its own light scratches

    Not only does XPEL Ultimate deflect stones and debris, but it literally self-heals. XPEL Ultimate Plus is the best PPF on the market, and so are our technicians.

  • Installed to the highest standard

    AE’s rigorous Quality Control Process assures our clients’ vehicles are completed to the industry’s highest standards.

What Damages Your Vehicle’s Paint Job?

Everyday driving in New England and beyond exposes your car or truck to various damaging elements that can lead to costly repairs. Driving without protection is like playing football without pads; it leaves your exterior vulnerable to every nick the road throws at it. Choosing a professional Paint Protection Film installation in Londonderry ensures your vehicle stays defended.

Bird Droppings

Acidic bird droppings can cause permanent discoloration and texture changes.

Rock Salt

Rock salt corrodes paint and causes rust by penetrating your car’s protective coating.

Road Debris

Small rocks and other debris kicked up by vehicles can create chips and scratches on your car’s surface.

UV Rays

Prolonged exposure to UV rays can fade your car’s paint, making it look dull and aged.

Swirl Marks

Improper washing techniques or abrasive cleaning materials can leave fine scratches or swirl marks on your vehicle’s surface.

Rain Elements

The acidic components in the rain can dull and erode your vehicle’s surface over time.

Tree Sap

Tree sap can harden on your car’s paint surface, strip away the clear coat, and lead to staining.

Insects

Insect remains can be acidic and can etch into the paint, causing damage and stains.

Choose Your Level of PPF Coverage

Investing in XPEL Paint Protection Film is a proactive way to save thousands on future paint correction and body shop costs. By applying this thin, transparent layer to your vehicle’s exterior, you are ensuring it stays looking brand-new for years to come.

Whether you drive a rugged truck or a high-performance luxury sedan, our Andover, Coraopolis and Londonderry paint protection specialists are ready to provide a custom fit that contours perfectly to your vehicle.
