Car Paint Protection Film: What Is It?
Car Paint Protection Film, also known as PPF, is a durable, high-quality film that is applied to the exterior of your vehicle. It serves as a powerful defensive layer, guarding your car’s paint against potential damage from road debris, minor scratches, chemical stains, and harsh weather conditions.

Types of Paint Protection Films

1. STEALTHâ„¢ - Satin Finish
Stealth Finish is a popular choice among car owners who want a more matte or satin finish to their car’s exterior. This finish is perfect for those who want a more understated look for their car. Stealth Finish is available in a variety of colors and provides the same level of protection as other XPEL PPF finishes. Additionally, it is resistant to yellowing and discoloration over time, which can help maintain the appearance of your car.
2. Ultimate PLUSâ„¢ - Gloss Finish
Ultimate Plus Finish is the most popular choice for car PPF, and for good reason. This finish is extremely durable and provides the highest level of protection for your car’s exterior. It is resistant to scratches, chips, and other types of damage, and is designed to absorb impact without showing any signs of damage. Additionally, Ultimate Plus Finish is self-healing, which means that any small scratches or swirl marks will disappear on their own over time. This finish is available in a high-gloss finish and is virtually invisible once installed.
3. Ultimate Fusionâ„¢ - Hydrophobic, Ceramic Coated Finish
Ultimate Fusion Finish is a new option for car PPF, which combines the benefits of both ceramic coating and Ultimate Plus finishes. This finish is perfect for those who want the durability and protection of Ultimate Plus Finish, but with a more hydrophobic surface. Ultimate Fusion Finish provides the same level of protection as Ultimate Plus, with a high-gloss appearance. It is resistant to yellowing and discoloration over time, and is self-healing like Ultimate Plus Finish.
No matter which finish you choose, XPEL PPF is a great investment for those who want to protect their car’s exterior from damage and keep it looking new for longer. Contact Tap And Wrap today to learn more about our XPEL PPF services and finish options, and to choose the best option for your car.
