Why are you moving away from vinyl wraps?

We are moving away from vinyl wraps because PPF is a superior product for protection, durability, finish quality, and long-term value for most customers.

What is the difference between XPEL PPF and vinyl wrap?

XPEL PPF is designed to protect paint from chips, scratches, and road wear, while vinyl wrap is mainly for color change and styling. PPF provides much better real-world protection.

Do you offer gloss and matte PPF?

Yes. We offer XPEL gloss and matte/stealth PPF depending on the finish and look you want.

Why We Prefer PPF Over Vinyl Wrap

Vinyl wraps are great for temporary color change, but for customers who want long-term value, PPF wins. It protects the paint, self-heals from light marks, holds up better to real-world driving, and keeps vehicles looking cleaner over time.

Matte PPF gives vehicles a more aggressive, refined finish while still offering the same protective benefits. It is a strong option for customers who want a stealthier look without going the vinyl route.
