Protection Levels
Nothing vs Wax vs Ceramic vs PPF
Every level of paint protection does something different. Only film physically stops gravel — everything else is a chemical layer over bare clear coat.
| Protection Against | No Protection | Wax / Sealant | Ceramic Coating | PPF | PPF + Ceramic |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Stops rock chips & gravel impact | |||||
| Self-heals light scratches | |||||
| Blocks brine & salt etching | |||||
| UV fade & oxidation resistance | |||||
| Bug acid & bird dropping defence | |||||

The Guarantee
No Peeling. No Yellowing. No Excuses.
No Yellowing
UV stabilizers keep the film optically clear. Yellowing or staining inside 10 years is replaced under warranty.
No Peeling or Lifting
Edges are wrapped behind panels after disassembly. If an edge ever lifts from our fitment, we re-fit it free for the life of the film.
No Cracking or Bubbling
Manufacturer-backed against cracking, blistering and delamination — registered to your VIN, not to a receipt.
Self-Healing Top Coat
Wash swirls and fingernail marks disappear with sun or warm water. The finish stays showroom, not just protected.
Add-Ons
Extend Protection
Windshield PPF
$6996–8 mil optically-clear windshield film — up to 10 years of chip protection.
Interior Screen PPF
$149Anti-glare film that shields infotainment & gauge cluster from fingernail scratches, key marks and swirls.
10-Year Warranty
XPEL & 3M manufacturer-backed against yellowing, cracking, delamination.
Self-Healing
Minor scratches and swirls vanish with sun or warm water.
Invisible Finish
Optically clear — factory gloss & colour stay untouched.
Why It Matters Here
What Calgary Roads Do To Paint
Southern Alberta is one of the harshest paint environments in the country — gravel-treated highways for six months, brine anti-icing, then a high-UV summer. PPF is the only protection that physically stops the damage instead of just making it easier to clean.
Gravel & winter road chip
Deerfoot, Stoney and Glenmore are gravel-treated all winter. At highway speed, a single chip cuts straight through clear coat and primer — and in Calgary's freeze-thaw cycles that exposed spot becomes rust within a season.
Brine & magnesium chloride
Calgary's anti-icing brine clings to bumpers, rockers and lower doors. It's far more corrosive than rock salt and etches unprotected clear coat over repeated winters.
Prairie sun & UV oxidation
Alberta averages more sunny days than almost anywhere in Canada. Concentrated UV fades reds and blacks and dulls clear coat — PPF blocks the majority of it.
Bug acid & tree sap
Summer highway runs to Banff and Kananaskis coat the front end in bug residue whose acids etch paint within hours in heat. Film takes the hit instead of your clear coat.
The Film
Two Films. Both Top Tier.
We only install manufacturer-warrantied film from XPEL and 3M. No unbranded imports, no shop-brand relabels — both options are registered to your VIN with a 10-year warranty.
XPEL Ultimate Plus
- Elastomeric self-healing top coat
- Hydrophobic surface sheds brine & slush
- Non-yellowing stabilizers for high-UV climates
- Best-in-class stretch for complex curves
Best for: Daily drivers, trucks and SUVs racking up winter highway kilometres.
3M Pro Series
- Scotchgard self-healing top layer
- Exceptional optical clarity over light paints
- Proven long-term edge stability
- Matte / satin options available
Best for: Show cars, light-coloured paint, and owners wanting factory-invisible finish.
Our Process
How A Proper Install Happens
Most PPF failures — lifting edges, trapped dirt, visible cut lines — come from rushed prep, not bad film. Here's every stage your vehicle goes through.
Walkaround & quote
We inspect paint under light for chips, swirls and prior repairs, confirm coverage and give firm pricing — no surprise surcharges at drop-off.
Decontamination wash
Full hand wash, iron and tar removal, and clay decontamination so nothing is trapped between paint and film.
Paint correction (as needed)
Film magnifies whatever is beneath it. Swirls and light defects are polished out before install so the finish under the film is right.
Disassembly & pattern
Badges, lights, mirrors and trim come off so film can be wrapped around edges instead of cut on the panel.
Install in a controlled bay
Indoor, dust-controlled, temperature-managed installation — the single biggest factor in whether film lifts a year later.
Cure & handover
Vehicle rests 24 hours before pickup, then we walk you through the seven-day care window and warranty registration.
PPF vs Ceramic
They Solve Different Problems
| Protection Against | PPF | Ceramic Coating |
|---|---|---|
| Rock chips & gravel impact | Yes — physical barrier | No |
| Road rash on lower panels | Yes | No |
| Brine & salt etching | Yes, on covered panels | Yes, whole vehicle |
| Bug acid & bird droppings | Yes | Yes |
| UV fade & oxidation | Yes | Yes |
| Self-healing scratches | Yes | No |
| Easier washing / water beading | Moderate | Excellent |
| Typical lifespan | 10 years | 2–7 years |
The strongest setup is both: film on the impact zones, ceramic coating over the film and across every remaining panel. Read the full breakdown in our PPF vs Ceramic Coating for Calgary Winters guide, or see our ceramic coating packages.
Aftercare
Keeping Film Looking New
PPF is low maintenance, not no maintenance. Follow these and your film will outlive its warranty.
Best Candidates
Who Should Get PPF
New vehicle owners
Protect factory paint before the first chip. Nothing to correct, nothing sealed under the film.
Highway commuters
Airdrie, Cochrane, Chestermere and Okotoks commutes mean daily gravel exposure at speed.
Leased vehicles
Avoid end-of-lease paint chargebacks. Film removes cleanly at turn-in.
Trucks & off-road builds
Rockers, lower doors and hoods take constant gravel and mud abrasion.
Performance & exotic cars
Low front ends and expensive paint codes — a single respray outcosts full-front film.
Resale-focused owners
Chip-free paint is the first thing a buyer or appraiser looks at. Protected cars appraise higher.
The Warranty, Plainly
Every install is registered with the manufacturer against your VIN. XPEL and 3M both back their film for 10 years against yellowing, staining, cracking, bubbling, peeling and delamination. On top of that, our install workmanship is warrantied for the life of the film — if an edge lifts because of how it was fitted, we re-fit it at no charge.
