Paint protection film with no cut lines

How long does Liquid PPF last in Southern California sun?

Liquid PPF is a permanent application rated at 15+ years in Southern California conditions, and because we finish every install with a layer of Stealth Diamond Borograph on top, the NanoPro warranty becomes a lifetime one rather than the ten years the film carries on its own.

San Diego gets more than 260 days of sun a year, which is what breaks down conventional 6–8 mil paint protection film — it absorbs UV until it yellows, hazes and begins lifting at the edges, usually somewhere between year five and year eight. Liquid PPF cures as a solid film chemically bonded to the clear coat rather than an adhesive-backed sheet laid on top, so there is no adhesive layer to fail and no edge to lift.

We finish every Liquid PPF installation with a layer of NanoPro® Stealth Diamond Borograph ceramic, which carries the gloss and the hydrophobics while the film underneath carries the impact resistance.

Is Liquid PPF better than traditional clear bra film?

Liquid PPF has higher tensile strength than traditional film and installs with no cut lines, no seams and no lifting edges, because it is applied as a liquid that flows into every curve and body line before it cures.

Traditional film is cut from a sheet, which means it has to stop somewhere. Those stopping points — around mirrors, along the hood edge, at the A-pillar — are visible, they collect dirt, and they are where failure starts. Liquid PPF has none of them, so it can cover panels that sheet film realistically cannot: complex bumpers, deep body lines, mirror caps and vents.

The honest trade-off: sheet film can be removed and replaced. Liquid PPF is permanent. If you plan to change the car’s appearance later, that matters.

Does Liquid PPF yellow or pit like clear bra?

No. Liquid PPF does not yellow or pit, because it contains no adhesive layer and no plasticisers — the two components in conventional film that break down under UV and cause yellowing.

Pitting on traditional film comes from road debris striking the surface and leaving permanent craters in a relatively soft urethane. Liquid PPF cures considerably harder, so light impacts that would mark sheet film do not leave the same deformation.

How much does Liquid PPF cost in San Diego?

Liquid PPF with Stealth Diamond ceramic starts at $3,105 for a sedan or coupe, $4,140 for a crossover, pickup or small SUV, and $5,175 for a full-size truck, van or large SUV during the New San Diego Rollout — 45% off the regular price.

Those are starting prices for a vehicle in average condition. Paint condition is the one variable we cannot assess from a phone call, so every quote is confirmed after an inspection. Heavy correction, severe water-spot etching and failed clear coat are quoted on top.

Motorcycles are $1,555. RVs, trailers and campers are priced per linear foot, starting at $103.50 per foot.

Can Liquid PPF be applied to a car that already has rock chips?

Yes, but the chips are corrected first — a coating locks in whatever is underneath it, so any chip, swirl or etching left in the paint is sealed in permanently.

Most of an installation day is spent before any product goes on the car: wash and decontamination, iron and tar removal, a clay pull, then multi-stage machine correction. Deeper chips that have gone through the clear coat into primer or metal need paint repair before we start, and we will tell you that at the inspection rather than coat over it.

Do you install Liquid PPF at my home or do I bring the car to you?

We come to you — Liquid PPF is installed at your home, office or storage lot anywhere from San Diego County through to Temecula, at no extra charge.

A coating cures badly in sun, wind and dust, so we bring 10×20 tents with side walls and build an enclosed bay around the vehicle wherever it sits. Everything else arrives with us: our own water and power, lighting, machines, pads and product. We are fully insured, and the work is done by trained, certified installers.
