Film science, clean installs, and packages that match how you drive.
We focus on paint protection film—not generic detailing—so your vehicle gets the right film grade, edge quality, and care plan from day one.
Invisible defense
A crystal-clear urethane barrier absorbs impacts so your factory paint stays pristine under daily driving, track days, and Québec winters.
Self-healing finish
Premium aliphatic TPU films use heat-activated elastomers—light swirls and wash marks relax with warm water or sun, keeping the surface smooth.
Strong resale story
Documented PPF helps preserve original paint—the first thing buyers and appraisers look at. Protect rockers, hoods, and mirrors where chips appear first.
What is paint protection film?
PPF is a clear urethane membrane—typically 6–8 mil thick—laminating a durable, self-healing top coat over impact-absorbing layers. It is engineered to take scratches and stone hits that would otherwise reach your clear coat. Modern films are stain-resistant and maintain clarity when installed using manufacturer-approved techniques.
- Stone-chip absorption
- Chemical resistance (bugs, fuel)
- Optional matte / satin finish films
- Works with coatings on top of film

TPU vs PVC legacy
Thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) stays flexible in cold weather and resists yellowing better than older PVC films. We specify aliphatic TPU for Québec temperature swings.
Self-healing chemistry
The top elastomer layer reflows with heat—engine bay warmth, warm rinse, or indirect sun—reducing hairline marks from washing and drying towels.
Warranty & care
Installations include manufacturer warranty registration when applicable. We teach safe wash methods—foam cannon, avoid silicone-based dressings on film edges, and yearly inspections for lifted corners.
