1. Paint Protection Film (PPF)
PPF is a clear, durable layer applied to high-impact areas like the hood, bumpers, rocker panels, and door edges. It protects against rock chips, scratches, and road debris while maintaining your paint’s original finish. For maximum coverage, PPF can also be applied with wrapped edges or color options for added style.
2. Ceramic Coatings
Ceramic coatings bond to your vehicle’s paint, glass, wheels, and even interior surfaces to create a slick, hydrophobic layer that repels water, dirt, and UV rays. They provide long-lasting shine and protection, reduce the need for frequent washing, and help resist fading and oxidation. Upgrades are available for glass, wheels, textiles, and more.
3. Interior Fabric & Leather Protectants
Inside your vehicle, surfaces are vulnerable to spills, sun damage, and daily wear. Interior coatings for textiles and leather create an invisible barrier against stains, UV rays, and cracking—keeping your seats, carpets, and dashboards in pristine condition.
4. Trim & Plastic Restorers
Exterior trims and plastics can fade over time from sun exposure. Using a UV-protectant dressing or coating helps revive these surfaces and shield them from future damage, ensuring they stay rich in color and texture.
5. Tire & Wheel Protectants
Wheels and tires face harsh elements daily. Ceramic wheel coatings and tire dressings protect against brake dust, road grime, and fading, while making future cleanings easier and more effective.
6. Glass & Windshield Coatings
Glass protectants enhance visibility in rain and resist water spotting and grime. Coatings for windshields and windows improve driving safety while reducing the effort needed to keep your glass crystal clear.
7. Window Tinting for Heat & UV Protection
Window tint does more than enhance your car’s style—it’s a powerful protectant. High-quality tint blocks up to 99% of harmful UV rays, reducing interior heat buildup and protecting your dashboard, seats, and trim from fading and cracking. It also adds privacy, reduces glare, and helps maintain a comfortable cabin temperature year-round.
Whether you’re preserving your interior from everyday messes or shielding your paint from road damage, the right combination of protectants can extend the life and look of your vehicle.
