Common Questions
FAQ's
Straight answers to the questions we get asked most.
How long does paint protection film take to install?
It depends on coverage — a Front End install is typically a shorter job than Full Coverage, which can take several days for a proper, patterned install. We'll confirm a timeframe once we know your vehicle and chosen tier.
Will the film go yellow or turn cloudy over time?
XPEL film is designed to resist yellowing over its lifespan when properly maintained, which is part of why it's backed by a manufacturer warranty. We'll talk you through aftercare at handover.
Is ceramic coating actually worth it over a wax?
A wax lasts weeks; a Gtechniq Platinum ceramic coating is backed by a 5-year warranty and keeps its hydrophobic, glossy finish far longer, with easier day-to-day washing.
Do you work with leased or dealership vehicles?
Yes — we have an established dealership partnership, and our Wear & Tear Kit is specifically aimed at leased vehicles that need to go back in good condition.
Can I combine PPF and ceramic coating?
Yes, and it's a common combination — each PPF tier has a ceramic-coated price alongside the film-only price on our PPF page.
Where is the studio, and can I visit?
We're based at Unit 7, The IO Centre, Salfords, Surrey. Get in touch and we'll arrange a time for you to bring your car in or take a look around.
