PPF is a clear, durable, self-healing film that protects your vehicle's paint from rock chips, scratches, road debris, UV rays, and environmental damage.
Calgary's climate is one of the harshest environments for automotive paint — from sub-zero winters and road salt to intense summer UV. Paint Protection Film is the most effective shield against it, keeping your vehicle self-healing, stain-resistant, and virtually invisible while protecting your investment and resale value.
* All packages include professional installation and a 1 Year Install Warranty. ✓ Side Mirrors are included in ALL packages.
We use only the highest quality paint protection films from industry leading brands. All films come with manufacturer warranties up to 10 years.
Paint Protection Film (PPF) is a thick, self-healing urethane layer that physically absorbs impacts — rock chips, scratches, and road debris. It stops physical damage before it reaches your paint, ideal for high-impact areas like the hood, bumper, and fenders.
Ceramic Coating is a liquid nano-coating that bonds to your paint, adding gloss and a hydrophobic layer that repels water, dirt, and UV. It makes washing easier and protects against staining and oxidation — but it won\u0027t stop a rock chip. Most enthusiasts run both: PPF on the front-end impact zones, ceramic over the whole vehicle.

Gravel left over from winter sanding, summer construction zones, and tens of thousands of kilometres of chip-prone highway driving make Calgary one of the hardest places in Canada on a factory finish. Paint protection film is a clear, self-healing urethane layer that takes the impact instead of your paint, and stays virtually invisible while it does it.
Our packages start at $1,000 for essential front-end coverage, $1,800 for the full front, and $2,200 for extended coverage. Price varies with vehicle size and how much of the car you cover, and a custom quote takes about two minutes.
They solve different problems. PPF is a physical barrier that absorbs rock chips and gravel spray from Deerfoot and Stoney Trail. A ceramic coating in Calgary is a chemical shield against UV fade, road salt and water spotting that also makes the car far easier to wash. The strongest stack for Alberta is film on the high-impact front end with ceramic over the whole vehicle, film included.
Start with a full car detailing Calgary service to prep the surface, add window tinting in Calgary for heat and privacy, and your vehicle is protected from every angle.
