Rock chips stop here.

Optically clear, self-healing paint protection film — installed in our shop, where a controlled, dust-free environment is the difference between film that disappears and film you notice every day.

    Why film gets installed in a shop

    03 / The install
    Reason 01

    Dust is the enemy.

    A single speck trapped under film is permanent and it's the first thing you'll see every time you walk up to the car. Driveways have wind, pollen, and road dust. Our shop doesn't.

    Reason 02

    Edges need to be wrapped, not trimmed short.

    Film that stops short of an edge collects dirt in the gap and starts lifting. Wrapping edges properly takes disassembly, heat, and time — that's shop work, not driveway work.

    Reason 03

    The paint has to be perfect first.

    Film magnifies whatever is underneath it. Every install starts with decontamination and correction, because you're sealing that surface in for years.

    Before you commit

    04 / PPF questions
    Will I be able to see the film?
    Installed correctly, no. Edges get wrapped around panels instead of trimmed on the visible surface, so there's no line sitting in the middle of your hood. On a full front there's no seam across the hood at all — that's the main reason people step up from partial coverage.
    What does "self-healing" actually mean?
    The film's top coat is elastic. Light swirls and fine scratches close up with heat — sun, warm water, or a heat gun. It does not repair deep gouges that cut through the film, and it does not make the film bulletproof against a large rock at highway speed.
    Will it yellow?
    Modern urethane film with a proper top coat doesn't yellow the way older films did. Stek film carries a manufacturer warranty against yellowing, cracking, and delamination — we'll walk you through the exact terms for the product you choose before you book.
    PPF or ceramic coating — do I need both?
    They solve different problems. PPF is physical impact protection — it stops rock chips. Ceramic coating is a chemical barrier that makes the surface slick and easy to clean, but it won't stop a chip. A common combination is film on the front end with ceramic coating over the whole car, including on top of the film. If you'd rather protect everything, we also film the whole car — and ceramic coating still goes over the top.
    Can film be removed later?
    Yes. Quality film comes off cleanly with heat and leaves the paint underneath in the condition it was in when we applied it — which is usually better than the rest of the car.
    How long does the car stay with you?
    It depends on the coverage. A front bumper or headlights is a much shorter stay than a full front, and track pack and full-vehicle coverage take longer again. We'll give you an exact window with your quote, and we don't rush a job to hit it.
