Paint Protection Film
Paint Protection Film “lingo” and Manufacturers
This type of product can go by a lot of different names: CLEAR BRA, PPF, PAINT PROTECTIVE FILM, PAINT SEALANT FILM, CLEAR CAR WRAP, or AUTO BODY GUARD PROTECTION. But they are not all the same. There are a couple reputable manufacturers of this type of film – 3M Paint Protection Film claims to have developed this product for Military use during the Vietnam War. The Minty location in Eugene used to carry 3M films but switched because 3M is many years behind on their sciences and products compared to the competition. To stay relevant, we provide clients with the best product and warranty on the market and sometimes we have to change the manufacture we work with.
XPEL PAINT PROTECTION FILM is the most recent and most popular by consumer demand due to the near invisible look, strength, warranty, and strong shelf healing ability. Brands like Suntek and Llumar are professional films with a lower cost due either being thinner, not the right texture, or not-as-great self healing abilities.

Xpel Ultimate PLUS – PPF Packages
Packages vary per vehicle.
Partial Front End
Partial front in paint protection is typically the front leading areas of the hood, and fenders. The bumper also gets covered.
Full Front End
The full hood covered with wrapped edges, full fenders covered with wrapped edges, and bumper covered. The backs of mirrors get covered if they are painted. Paint Protection Film doesn’t stick to plastic.
Full Front End and PNW Package
Same coverage as the Full Front Package but we also protect the rocker areas and rear deck lid. “Rear deck lid” is the area at the very top of the bumper that can get scuffed by dogs or grocery loading.
Full Protection
This can vary depending on car and client.
- In general the vehicles primary paint color gets covered.
- Some exotic or special vehicles might want double layer protection in the rocker areas.
- Some vehicles might opt to get gloss black trim areas covered as well in paint protection.
- Some vehicles might opt for a paint texture change. (see Stealth below)
Stealth
As Smooth As Satin
Finally, a paint protection film specifically formulated for preserving protecting a flat factory finish. Whether your vehicle is matte, magno, frozen or frosted, XPEL STEALTH will keep it looking effortlessly pristine. Or, give your gloss paint a whole new look!
Self-Healing
When exposed to heat, the enhanced clear coat properties eliminate fine scratches and swirl marks over time.
Sleek Satin Finish
With an unique satin finish, STEALTH helps match most factory flat paint jobs and virtually disappears on most surfaces. With a finish that’s uniformly smooth, you can add STEALTH to your matte or gloss paint job for a unique satin finish.
Easy Maintenance
Flat finishes are notoriously difficult to maintain and even harder to repair. STEALTH enables you to easily wash and dry your car without damaging its sheen.
Stealth Paint Protection for Matte Paint
You would need this film if your factory paint is matte (no gloss clear coat)
Clear Matte/Satin film
Forget about those color changing car wraps that are too thin to protect your vehicles’ paint and that don’t last very long.
Are you debating about changing the look of your car but also enjoying the color it came with but also wouldn’t mind having a true protective layer?
We may have a solution for you. We can do a full clear wrap but in our STEALTH film instead of a gloss. This protective matte but clear protection film is still transparent like our regular XPEL Paint Protection Film Ultimate Plus, but adds a Satin / Flat finish to your car. This film is just as thick as our standard Ultimate Plus glossy protective film.
