Why PPF

A repaint costs more than a decade of protection.

Between gravel trucks on the I-10, monsoon sandblast, and 110-degree UV, an unprotected front end in Arizona is on a countdown. Paint protection film is what stops the clock.

Takes the hits for you

8.5 to 10 mil of urethane soaks up the impact energy of gravel and road debris that would chip bare clear coat on every freeway run.

Erases its own battle scars

The heat-activated top coat re-flows in the Arizona sun, closing light swirls and wash marks without a trip back to the shop.

Disappears on the paint

Patterns are plotted to your exact panels and the edges wrapped and tucked, so the film reads as factory gloss, not an add-on.

Worth real money at trade-in

Original, chip-free paint is the first thing an appraiser checks. The film protects the number on the offer, not just the look.

I received a PPF full front and rear bumper. My last Audi was full of paint chips so I didn't want to go through that experience again. I was looking for a company that had a good reputation and a decent guarantee and ended up here. This was a great decision. Professional service.

I am in love with my car. I got a full front PPF package, everything in clear PPF with black gloss on the hood. It is so beautiful, I could not recommend a company more. Hector and his team were professional and answered all of my questions.

PricingCost
PPF cost depends on your vehicle size, the coverage you choose, and the film, and everything is published so you see the exact price with no quote required. Starting prices for a mini vehicle like a Mazda Miata with FlexiShield 8.5 mil: Front Bumper from $479, Partial Front from $769, Full Front from $1,299, Track Package from $2,229, and Full Body from $4,719. Coupes start at $1,349 for a Full Front, and larger vehicles, SUVs, and cars with complex body lines cost more. See the exact price for your vehicle on our PPF pricing dashboard.

Clear BraBasics
Yes. Clear bra is the common name for paint protection film, especially a Full Front install. It is a clear, self-healing urethane film applied over your factory paint to absorb rock chips, road debris, and light scratches. We install it in FlexiShield and STEK films, so when you ask for a clear bra you are asking for the same protection priced on our PPF pricing dashboard. Want the full walkthrough with pricing by coverage level? See our clear bra page.

CoverageClear Bra
We offer five coverage levels. Front Bumper Only protects the most chip-prone panel. Partial Front covers the bumper, the leading 18 to 24 inches of the hood and fenders, and the mirrors. Full Front, the classic clear bra, covers the entire front bumper, full hood, full fenders, mirrors, headlights, and door cups. Track Package adds rocker panels and rear impact zones. Full Body protects every painted panel. Compare them on our PPF pricing dashboard.

CoverageComparison
Full Front, the classic clear bra, protects the panels that take the overwhelming majority of rock chips: the bumper, full hood, fenders, mirrors, headlights, and door cups. It suits most daily drivers and is typically a one-day install. Full Body protects every painted panel, including the doors, roof, and rear, and is popular on new, exotic, and resale-focused vehicles; it runs over a week, depending on installation complexity. Both carry our workmanship guarantee plus up to a 12-year manufacturer film warranty. Many owners pair Full Front PPF with ceramic coating over the rest of the paint. Compare coverage and pricing on our PPF pricing dashboard.

Why UsInstallers
Look for a clean, climate-controlled facility, factory-trained installers, and a clear workmanship guarantee. Ask whether pricing is published or quote-only, which films they carry, and how they prep the vehicle before installing. At Auto Cosmetics we publish our pricing, install with factory-trained technicians in climate-controlled bays, offer both FlexiShield and STEK films, and back every job with our workmanship guarantee plus up to a 12-year manufacturer film warranty.

ProtectionBenefits
Yes. That is exactly what paint protection film is built for. The urethane layer absorbs the impact of rocks, gravel, bug acids, and road debris that would otherwise chip or scratch your factory paint, which matters on Arizona highways like the 101, 202, and I-10. A Full Front clear bra protects the panels that take the most hits.

DurabilityWarranty
Quality paint protection film typically lasts 7 to 10 years or more, depending on the film, the install, your driving, and how you maintain it. The films we install carry a manufacturer warranty against yellowing, cracking, peeling, and delamination, up to 12 years on FlexiShield and 10 years on STEK. Arizona sun and highway miles are the biggest factors, which is why proper installation and washing matter.

Self-HealDurability
Modern paint protection film is self-healing, so light swirl marks and fine scratches disappear with heat, and the Arizona sun does that work for you. Quality film also resists yellowing. FlexiShield and STEK are both backed by a manufacturer warranty against yellowing, cracking, peeling, and delamination.
Which PPF film should I choose, 8.5 mil or 10 mil?
Both thicknesses self-heal with heat. 10 mil is our recommended choice for daily drivers because the thicker layer absorbs more impact on Va...
FilmsComparison
Both thicknesses self-heal with heat. 10 mil is our recommended choice for daily drivers because the thicker layer absorbs more impact on Valley highways. 8.5 mil is a strong value for lighter use. Within each thickness you can pick FlexiShield, our best value with a 12-year manufacturer warranty, or STEK (DYNOshield in 8.5 mil, DYNOmight in 10 mil), known for its hydrophobic top coat and a 10-year warranty. Full specs sit side by side on our PPF pricing dashboard.
How do I verify a PPF film's real thickness?

FilmsThicknessSpecs
Ask for the technical data sheet, the TDS. Marketing names round to clean numbers; the TDS states the measured spec. We link the TDS for every film we install right in the price tool on this page, and we publish the measured number even when it is lower than the marketing name: STEK markets DYNOmight as a 10 mil film, its TDS measures 9.8 mil, and 9.8 mil is what our comparison table says. Whatever shop you are comparing, ask for the TDS of the exact film they quoted you and read the thickness, the self-healing spec, and the warranty term for yourself. If a shop cannot produce the TDS, you are buying a brand name, not a specification.

ComparisonCeramic
They do different jobs. Paint protection film is a physical layer that takes the hit from rock chips and debris. Ceramic coating is a thin chemical layer that adds gloss, makes the surface hydrophobic, and eases cleaning, but it does not stop impacts. If you can only do one, PPF protects against the damage that actually costs money. Many owners do both: PPF on the high-impact front panels and ceramic over the rest.
Should I get PPF on a new car?

New CarBenefits
A new car is the ideal time. Applying PPF while the paint is fresh and chip-free locks in that factory finish and protects resale value from day one. Many new-vehicle owners protect the front end immediately, since the first highway miles are when rock chips happen.
Does PPF damage the paint when it is removed?
No. Professionally installed film is made to be removable, and when it comes off it lifts cleanly without harming factory paint. PPF actuall...
RemovalInstallation
No. Professionally installed film is made to be removable, and when it comes off it lifts cleanly without harming factory paint. PPF actually preserves the paint underneath, which is one reason it helps protect resale value.
How do I care for PPF after installation?

Aftercare
Wait about 48 hours before washing so the film can set, then hand wash with a pH-neutral soap. Keep high-pressure water away from the film edges, especially the first week. Remove bug splatter, bird droppings, and tree sap promptly. The self-healing top coat releases light marks with heat, and a PPF-safe sealant adds slickness. We provide full aftercare instructions at pickup.

InstallationProcess
A Full Front clear bra is typically a one-day install, and smaller packages like a bumper take a few hours. Full Body coverage runs over a week, depending on installation complexity. Before any film goes on, we hand-wash and decontaminate the vehicle in a climate-controlled bay so the film bonds cleanly and lasts.
Is PPF worth it?

Why UsBenefits
For a daily-driven car in Arizona, yes. Paint protection film takes the rock chips, scratches, and bug etching that would otherwise mar your paint, keeps the finish looking new with its self-healing top coat, and helps protect resale value. A single chip repair or repaint can cost more than protecting the panel in the first place.
What warranty comes with paint protection film?

Warranty
Every install carries our workmanship guarantee, covering the quality of the installation. The film itself carries a manufacturer warranty against yellowing, cracking, peeling, and delamination, which is 12 years on FlexiShield and 10 years on STEK. If the film fails, you contact Auto Cosmetics and we handle the manufacturer claim.
