PPF INSTALL NEAR ME COLORADO SPRINGS

Paint protection films are essential for driving on Colorado's rocky roads. No paint can withstand the inevitable rock chips that can damage your vehicle. This nearly invisible layer acts as a sacrificial barrier, dispersing the impact over a larger area and reducing the likelihood of significant damage. Now available in a variety of colors much like a vinyl wrap but with the longevity of PPF.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

WHAT BRAND OF PPF DO YOU INSTALL?

We are a 3M authorized and Suntek brand ambassador. Both films come backed with a 10-year warranty that far exceeds the performances of some of the other major brands of film. While XPEL has the most recognized brand name in the PPF game, we have found that their marketing budget may be large but their films performance not so much. Please watch the videos above comparing films while consider what film you want installed!

WILL PPF RAISE THE VALUE OF MY VEHICLE?

Absolutely. When considering paint, manufacturer paint far exceeds the value of an aftermarket repaint job, even a really good one. Vehicle buyers and wholesalers notice the paint job first, and true enthusiasts often disregard vehicles without original paint. This clear bra will shield your vehicle and keep the paint underneath looking like its original form. So not only is it the original paint, but you'll also have negated 10 years of wear off its life by keeping it protected.

HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO INSTALL PPF?

This all depends on the level of coverage you select, amount of preparation required and/or paint correction necessary. Typically, we aim to retain a vehicle for at least 24 hours to confirm our satisfaction with the adhesion and edges before delivery. Our shop prioritizes exceptional work over high turnover; we dedicate the necessary time to ensure the job is done correctly on the first attempt. If you are needing a fast turnaround, we may not be the best fit. As a professional shop, we strongly suggest not taking delivery of your vehicle any sooner than 24 hours after install. Shops that promise same day turnaround can't rush cure time; this is questionable at best.

I'VE HEARD XPEL PPF IS THE BEST, IS THAT TRUE?

Brands of PPF, much like any other industry, are personal preference. I may prefer Adidas to Nike but is one actually superior to the other? It'll depend on who's wearing them and their opinion of them. Xpel has an excellent marketing budget and dominates in a lot of ways like that. They require their installers to commit exclusively to their brand, and we at J9's Luxury Auto Detailing did not want to be tied to a single manufacturer's product line. Meaning XPEL requires a shop that installs their PPF to also carry their ceramic coatings and window tint. We have found better products on the market from different manufactures and choose to install the best we have found not the best marketing gimmicks out there. Although we do appreciate the quality of Xpel's PPF line, we wouldn't agree that "it's the best." 3M Scotchgard and Suntek Ultra have better physical hydrophobics, better protection from ink/graffiti, better self-healing abilities, better sheeting and better physical protection against rock chips. For us, these are why people are getting PPF to begin with.

HOW LONG ARE YOU BOOKED OUT FOR A PPF INSTALL?

Our business model is one where we prioritize customers' needs over long waits. While some shops believe that being booked out for a month or more is a sign of success, we however do not. We have an entire team of leading experts in the industry to ensure that our customers are scheduled in a reasonable time, and the quality of our installations surpasses that of our competitors. That being said, availability may vary depending on the time of year, but we typically manage to accommodate scheduling within a one to two-week timeframe. Sometimes we can make adjustments to our calendar to get you in sooner as well as we realize the longer your drive it, the more likely you are to damage the paint.

WHAT'S THE MOST IMPORTANT THINGS TO CONSIDERING WHEN LOOKING TO HIRE A SHOP FOR MY PPF?

Quality installers are very hard to come by. Most talented installers have been scouted by leading shops in other major cities as they also pay out the most. We've been able to recruit top talent with lucrative incentives to represent our brand and offer our customers the very best in advanced techniques and professional install. We've scoured the entire state of Colorado and have undergone hundreds of hours of hands-on training to insure we are offering the very best to you. We hand down have the most talented installers in all of Colorado Springs. We've even been voted the best shop to work for in the Springs. Advanced techniques like wrapped edges make the differences between true vehicle protection and just amateur protection.

QUESTIONS I SHOULD ASK BEFORE HIRING MY PPF INSTALLER?

Just because a shop has a good reputation, or price does not mean that the install will reflect that. Some ways to ensure you are getting the best is to ask some important questions. Firstly, I would want to know if they will be bulking (custom fitting the hood) or using a pre-cut pattern. I much prefer a bulked hood to a pattern for a few reasons. Firstly, the bulk method ensures a perfect fit because its molded specifically to your car and the installer has complete control of where everything lines up. This method puts the least amount of tension on the film during install and will have wrapped edges ensuring complete coverage of the hoods edging. Patterns might sound nice in theory, but you have to force stretch them into place and they rarely line up correctly on all edges on hoods, it also gives you exposed corners on the sharp edges. I'd want the person installing on my vehicle to have a minimum of 3 years of professional installation experience. Our lead installer is master level with over 10 years' experience. Do they have a craftsmanship guarantee? A 10-year warranty is great but if it was installed poorly, it doesn't really benefit you anyway. Find a company who backs their work up with a craftsmanship guarantee like we do. Every shop will require you to come back after the film has had adequate time to cure (about 2 weeks), if they do not, pass. Do be aware though that clear bra is meant to be inspected from 5' away not 5". Even a brand-new cars paint will have blemishes that you may not have noticed prior and PPF will magnify it, it does not make it a poor install. Perfection is always the goal, but it is not humanly achievable. Make sure to ask what aftercare looks like and ask if they offer it should you choose not to maintain it yourself. It is a relatively low maintenance product but there are some things you should know and will be manufacture specific.

CAN YOU SEE CLEAR BRA PPF?

Clear bra is clear, but not invisible. Although nearly so, there are some instances where you will absolutely notice it. If you opt to save money and have a partial hood installer vs the full, there is a noticeable line across your car. Now, films aren't as thick as they were 10 years ago, making them less noticeable, however if seams are a major concern; opt for full coverage. Even still, some sharp corners and edges are impossible to completely mask the appearance of the clear bra. Remember, it's meant to be inspected from 5' feet away not 5".

AFTER INSTALLATION INFORMATION

Paint Protection Film (PPF) Customer Expectation Sheet

Thank you for choosing J9’s Luxury Auto Detailing for your Paint Protection Film (PPF) needs. To ensure clarity and satisfaction, we’ve outlined important details and expectations regarding your PPF installation.

Please review the following information carefully:

1. Inspection Standards

• PPF is designed to protect your vehicle from physical damage, such as rock chips, scratches, and minor abrasions. While it also enhances the gloss of your vehicle (Or depth of the paint if getting matte), its primary purpose is protection, not perfection.

  • After installation, the film should be inspected from a distance of 5 feet, under standard lighting conditions. Inspecting the film at closer distances (e.g., 5 inches) may reveal minor imperfections, such as:

    • Slight surface texture (commonly referred to as “orange peel”) within the film itself.

    • Small particles or micro-debris trapped beneath the film.

    • Imperfect cut lines

    • Minor imperfections in the film itself

• These minor imperfections are normal and do not affect the performance or longevity of the film.

2. Contamination Considerations

• No shop, including ours, operates in a completely sterile “clean room” environment. While we take extensive precautions to minimize contamination during installation, the possibility of tiny particles or debris being present under the film is inherent to the process.

• Our priority is to install a protective film that effectively shields your vehicle’s paint from damage for years, not to achieve a flawless cosmetic finish.

3. Care and Maintenance Guidelines

To maintain the integrity and appearance of your PPF, please follow these care instructions:

• Washing:

  • Hand wash your vehicle whenever possible. We offer this service for $60. We also offer a wash club if you’d like to sign up for added discounts, please inquire. Make sure to go with the direction of the film, going against it at the edges may cause it to lift.

  • Use a pH-balanced car shampoo and soft microfiber wash mitt, we recommend Americana Ceramic Soap or NanoSkin Crystal, as it adds a boost to the hydrophobics of your PPF, is Si02 safe, and unclogs the pores in your ceramic coating. (If Matte, a matte specific care product.)

  • Avoid the automatic car washes unless it’s touchless. Swirls in the film cause excessive wear and diminish its self-healing ability. This will reduce the longevity of the film overall and diminish its crystal-clear gloss. Many chain car washes allow you to request to have the brushes turned off, whenever possible please do so.

• Pressure Washing:

  • Avoid using a pressure washer closer than 3 feet from the film.

  • Never aim the pressure washer nozzle directly at the edges of the film, especially when curing in the first 2 weeks. Water that becomes trapped underneath the film due to poor wash techniques is not part of our craftsmanship guarantee.

• Drying:

  • Use a clean microfiber drying towel or an air blower to dry the vehicle.

• Avoid Harsh Chemicals:

  • Do not use abrasive polishes, harsh cleaners, or waxes containing petroleum distillates on the PPF.

4. Curing Period

• After installation, the film requires a curing period of 14 days, depending on temperature and humidity. During this time:

  • DO NOT WASH your vehicle. We require all installs to come back for their first wash (free) and final inspection to be done at this time.

  • Small bubbles or haze under the film may appear but will dissipate as the adhesive cures.

  • Remember that some tiny particles may be trapped under the film after this time, which is normal and does not impact the films’ ability to protect the paint.

5. Warranty Information

• The PPF we install comes with a 10-year manufacturer’s warranty covering defects in material and workmanship.

• The warranty does not cover:

• Damage caused by improper care, accidents, rock chips or neglect.

  • Lifting edges caused by improper wash techniques (indicated by copious amounts of water under the film, a stretch in the film that indicates it was forced back, lifting edges after the initial 30 days. (Pressure wash at 3’ or more away.)

  • Issues resulting from normal wear and tear (e.g., scratches, chips that penetrate the film, PPF acts as a sacrificial layer and its job is to reduce damage, not prevent it entirely.)

  • Loss of hydrophobic top layer.

• The warranty does cover:

  • Yellowing, bubbling, cracking, delamination.

• The craftsmanship guarantee covers:

  • Lifting edges within the first 30 days, (not caused by poor wash techniques.)

  • Large bubbling (pea sized+) that does not dissipate within the first 30 days.

• The craftsmanship guarantee DOES NOT cover:

  • Expectations of a flawless install

  • Minor imperfections that do not affect its ability to do its primary job – protecting the paint.

  • Replacement costs associated with damage caused after the fact. (Ie. physical damage to the ppf itself not caused by our installers.)

  • Failure to show up for your 2 week follow up there will be NO warranty. Imperfections and refining the install are industry standard and to be expected.

6. Limitations of PPF

While PPF is highly effective at shielding your vehicle from physical damage, it is not impervious to all impacts. Excessive force, such as a severe rock strike, can still penetrate the film and damage the paint underneath.

• PPF is a sacrificial layer designed to protect your paint. Over time, the film may accumulate minor blemishes or scratches, which can often be remedied by replacement of the film or allowing the sun to activate the self-healing properties.

7. Follow-up with us

After a two-week curing period, we require bringing your vehicle back for a free follow-up visit. During this appointment, we will perform a thorough wash and inspect the paint protection film to ensure it has properly adhered to the paint and meets our standards of craftsmanship. This process typically takes about one hour. If either you or our team identify any issues during the inspection, we will schedule a time to address them, whether that involves adjustments or replacement. You must see us within 30 days of install in order to be covered under our craftsmanship guarantee. Issues arising after this period will be at vehicle owner's expense.

Important to Note:

• Contamination is an inherent possibility in every PPF installation, as no shop operates in a completely sterile environment. While we take every precaution to minimize imperfections, small particles or blemishes may still be present.

• If necessary, we can replace sections of the film to address major concerns. However, replacements may still present minor imperfections or new issues. (Major concerns being its ability to protect the paint, perfection is not possible, nor should it be expected.)

• Our craftsmanship guarantee ensures that the edges are sealed properly and that the film can perform its duty to protect your paint for the duration of its warranty.

• Not all edges will have been perfectly cut. While we use a plotter to cut the majority of your install, nothing is perfect and some customization is to be expected. Although our installers have 10+ experience, they are not surgeons.

• Factory paint is not perfect. Paint nips, rock chips, swirls and scratches or pitting becomes highlighted with PPF especially matte finish. If you want your paint perfected without repainting, prior to install please notify our team so we can price accordingly for paint correction, chip repair etc.

Our goal is always to strive for excellence, but true perfection is rarely achievable. Rest assured, your PPF is designed to effectively protect your vehicle and maintain its appearance.

WILL MY PPF YELLOW OVER TIME?

With advancements in technology, modern clear bra films like Suntek are engineered to resist yellowing and discoloration. When installed by certified professionals—like our team at Springs Detailing—Suntek films maintain their clarity, transparency, and high-gloss finish for years to come.

HOW DOES PPF HOLD UP TO EXTREME WEATHER?

Paint protection film is made to withstand tough environments, whether it’s the intense sun, snow, or even road salt. It’s engineered to endure extreme temperatures and protect against the elements, making it ideal for year-round protection. It’s called the invisible shield because even though you cannot see it, its ability to protect your vehicle is by far the greatest on the market.
