PPF & Ceramic Coatings

What is Tesla Paint Protection Film?

Paint protection film is the only way to go if you want to keep your Tesla’s paint looking good as new. Paint protection film is an 8 mil thick, clear polyurethane film that is applied to the painted surfaces of your vehicle.

Tesla Paint Protection (clear bra/ppf) will help protect from rock chips, scratches & chemical staining. It is the only protection in the world that can stop rock chips and scratches from damaging your Tesla.

Many Tesla owners have their Teslas wrapped with paint protection film and then add ceramic coating on top of the PPF for extra protection.

Do Teslas Need Paint Protection?

Tesla vehicles need to comply with California VOC standards, which means the paint that Tesla chooses to use is not as strong as other solvent-laden paints. This means that the paint cracks and chips easier, and the clear coat is thinner.

Painting a car is also the most expensive part of the process – so Tesla will use as little as possible if they can.

So in short – yes. 

Is PPF the right choice for me? 

We get asked this often, and there is no uniform answer because everyone’s wants and needs are completely different. Let’s start by asking yourself these questions: 

Do you love driving your car whenever and wherever you want? Do you cringe when you hear sand and rocks bouncing off the pavement?

Do you constantly obsess over the look & finish of your vehicle? Do you want to protect your investment?

Are you in a high-profile job where your appearance judges you? Are you driving clients from work in your vehicle?

If you answered YES to any of these, paint protection film in some form is likely a good fit for you. 

Is getting paint protection film for your Tesla a wise investment?

Paint protection film for Tesla offers numerous benefits to owners that want to preserve the car’s new look. It shields the paint from everyday scratches and damages, such as rock chips.

        How do I take care of my Paint Protection Film?

        There are a few guidelines to follow.

        1. You should stay away from automated car washes that have spinning brushes. They do nothing but grind dirt into your vehicle at high speed.

        2. You can use a self-serve car wash – the pressure washer wand soap & rinse only. NEVER THE FOAMING BRUSH! And

        3. Hand wash with a 2 bucket system and quality microfiber wash mitt. You can read more about How to Care for Your Tesla After PPF & Ceramic Coating on our blog.

        What things should I be looking for when looking for Tesla Paint Protection?

        First and foremost, you’re going to want to find a shop that installs a professional product and is going to stand behind its work. If you don’t do your research – you are likely to end up spending the money twice to have PPF installed on your Tesla. 

        It is of the utmost importance that you choose the correct shop the first time. 

        1. Does that shop have a Quality Brand of film?

        The brand of paint protection film being installed on your Tesla should be a professional application-only product, come with a 10-12 year warranty, be at least 8 mils in thickness & self-healing. 

        2. COMPUTER CUT VS BULK INSTALLS  Does that shop have a plotter or do they do everything by hand? Investment in a plotter is the #1 investment a shop can make in its role as a paint protection shop. It is by far one of the largest investments & shows they are committed to their craft.

        3. How much PPF is that shop installing? They should be doing multiple cars – shops that are low volume and installing only 2-3 jobs per month are a red flag that they do not have the experience that you are looking for. 

        4. Are edges wrapped? Ceramic Pro Pottstown is a big proponent of wrapping every edge that we can. Although you cannot stretch film to meet certain edges or hide certain seams – installing paint protection film on your Tesla with wrapped edges is extremely important to ensure that film looks good for years to come. 

        5. Is their shop clean & temperature controlled? A clean shop with a sealed floor system is a priority to have clean PPF installs. You should definitely be looking at photos and videos of the shops you are thinking of choosing. In addition – having temperature control is one of the most important parts of a quality paint protection install. PPF is hard to install in extreme cold and extreme heat and often leads to a bad install. 

        What Paint Protection Package Is Best?

        The level of PPF coverage you elect to purchase should be based upon a few different things such as how much driving you’re doing, how long you plan to keep the vehicle, how you plan to store it, etc. 

        We offer a Partial Front, Full Front, Road Package & Full Body. The Road Package is by and large the most purchased package. It includes the hood, bumper, fog lights, headlights, fenders, mirror caps, partial A-pillar to the roof, rocker panels/lower doors, area behind the rear wheel. 

        How Long Does Tesla Paint Protection Take To Be Installed?

        That can vary depending on the shop setup, installer skill and type of film a shop uses. Typically you can expect anywhere from 2-4 days for a Full Front PPF and 4-7 days for a full body paint protection film on your Tesla.
