Pristine Detail/XPEL Paint Protection Film

Even if you aren't a vehicle fanatic, you have probably heard about XPEL PPF. Basically, a skinny, clean coat of plastic foil is implemented to the car’s body. However, as with any detailing procedures, there is an enormous difference between the baseline stuff and premium products. Here at Pristine Detail, we use only the best on the market in order to deliver the best protection for our clients. This means using the XPEL PPF (paint protection film), but there is much more to this product than just a cool name. Although the film is invisible when applied, the advantages of using this product are very visible during the ownership period. So, let’s explain what it is and why you want it on your car.

What Is a Paint Protection Film?

The XPEL PPF is an elastomeric polyurethane plastic film to be had in three thickness stages for special programs; it is one of the most advanced products in the marketplace. The paint protection films are implemented to the automobile’s body as a way to maintain the paint searching new and safe from all rock chips, road particles, and paint fading. Using the right product applied by the professionals will make your car look brand new for years, and it will be completely invisible. The plastic compound is carefully engineered to protect the surface and the paint job and possesses some incredible capabilities.

Why Do We Use The XPEL PPF?

The self-healing and edge seal technology are among the things that set the XPEL PPF apart. The XPEL revolutionized the detailing world in 2011 when it patented the self-healing XPEL PPF. Since the elastomeric polyurethane covers the surface of the car’s body, it serves as a shield from all scratches and rock chips. However, in the process of protecting the vehicle, the film itself can get scratched or damaged. When exposed to heat, the XPEL PPF can self-heal from swirl marks and scratches. This means the XPEL PPF will look new even if it works hard to protect your car.

At Pristine Detail/XPEL Paint Protection Film, we strive for perfection when applying protection film or vinyl wrap. This means that we pay special attention to those hard-to-reach places, such as the lines of the car, the edges of the body panels, and so on. The XPEL PPF made our job easier with unique edge seal technology. This film is designed to prevent lifting and delamination, which are always the worst nightmares for any detailer and car owner. No more wrinkled edges, delaminating corners, or self-peeling film; with XPEL PPF applied by our skilled team, the film stays firmly in all areas of the car’s body.

Other Important Features Paint Protection

The unique polyurethane formula is designed to be stain-resistant, easy to maintain, and durable. You probably noticed that some cars that feature protective films get that yellow hue due to exposure to the sunlight. The XPEL’s products are carefully designed to forbid that and remain fresh-looking for years. That is why the XPEL PPF is backed by a comprehensive 10-year warranty, which is unique in the business.

As we mentioned before, this product comes in three levels of thickness. You might ask why, and the answer is simple. The XPEL wanted to deliver a product that would appeal to all kinds of car enthusiasts, from supercar owners who wish to protect their precious investments over the sports car drivers who track their cars and don’t want rock chips or debris even to off-road enthusiasts who are putting their rigs to extreme conditions on the trail. The thickest films are for those customers for maximum protection in harsh weather and off-road conditions.

Applying The XPEL PPF On the Lamborghini Huracan STO

We are always delighted to have a proper exotic machine in our shop, but the Lamborghini Huracan STO is a vehicle that takes the sportscar game to the next level. This is the limited-production (around 700 made) Huracan with a naturally-aspirated 5.2-liter V10 engine sending 631 hp to the rear wheels capable of launching this metallic green beast to 60 mph in just 3 seconds on the way to 196 mph top speed. Yes, it is insanely quick and rare, even more so in this Verde Stevens color, which enhances the aggressive and sharp lines of the body. It is rumored that only 17% or all produced STOs feature this color, which is another reason why it should be preserved in the same condition as it came from the factory and why the owner chose us and XPEL PPF for this task. When you own a car like this, you want it to be perfect and don’t want to worry about scratches, swirl marks, or discoloration.

The XPEL PPF and Lamborghini Huracan STO proved to be an ideal combination, not just because the protective film is practically invisible and keeps the striking green color shining, but because of its other abilities. The edge seal technology is extremely important when detailing a car like this. As you can see, the Huracan STO’s design is full of sharp lines and body panels with a front splitter and massive rear spoiler. Very often, on such vehicles, you can see the edges lifted and delamination, sometimes even caused by extreme speed. However, this will not be the case with the XPEL PPF; all corners and body panels will be protected and look good, even at 196 mph top speed.

Conclusion

Working with the best products on the market is one of the signature aspects of our detailing business. We are always happy to offer our clients the ultimate protection for their cars, especially when they are exclusive and fast like this Huracan STO. Applying the XPEL Paint Protection Film on this unique Lamborghini required a lot of skill and precision, but the result was astonishing.
