Paint Protection Film and Clear Bra: Ultimate Protection For Your Vehicle In Dallas
Protecting Your Vehicle from rock chips, bug itching, tree spa and road debris
Paint Protection Film In Dallas
The streets of Dallas can be pretty rough on vehicles with all the potholes, construction, and flying debris. This can increase the chances of your vehicle getting dinged up.
On top of that, you have to deal with people brushing against your car in parking lots, bird droppings, road tar, and rock chips, which can all damage your car's paint.
To keep your paint looking fresh and protect it from all these things, you might want to think about getting paint protection film (PPF), also known as a clear bra. PPF is a see-through film that's applied to the outside of your vehicle and does a great job of keeping your paint safe.
For even greater protection we offer window tinting, and ceramic coating

Frequently Asked Questions About Paint Protection Film
How Long Does PPF Last?
The lifespan of Paint Protection Film (PPF) depends on several factors, including the quality of the film, environmental conditions, and maintenance. Generally:
Standard PPF lasts 5 to 7 years.
High-quality PPF (e.g., XPEL, 3M, SunTek, or STEK) can last up to 10 years with proper care.
Self-healing PPF and ceramic-coated PPF may have longer durability due to added protection.
Will PPF affect my car’s paint color or finish?
No, PPF is clear and will not change the color or appearance of your vehicle’s paint. It maintains the original look while providing additional protection.
Can PPF Be Removed?
Yes! PPF can be safely removed without damaging your vehicle’s paint when done properly. Most high-quality PPFs leave little to no residue, but older or lower-quality films may require adhesive removal and light polishing.
While DIY removal is possible, professional removal is recommended to avoid paint damage, especially for older or brittle films.
Does PPF protect against everything?
While PPF offers excellent protection from scratches, rock chips, and road debris, it’s not completely impervious to damage. It won’t prevent deep scratches from sharp objects or major accidents, but it will provide strong protection against everyday wear.
What is the difference on Ceramic Coating and PPF?
Ceramic Coating and Paint Protection Film (PPF) both offer protection for your vehicle’s paint, but they serve different functions.
Ceramic Coating is a thin liquid layer applied to your vehicle’s surface, designed to enhance the gloss, repel dirt, and protect against UV rays, water spots, and minor scratches. It provides a hydrophobic effect, making it easier to clean your car. Ceramic coating lasts around 2 to 5 years and is generally more affordable. It does not offer physical protection from rock chips or heavy abrasions.
Paint Protection Film (PPF) is a thicker, durable film applied to the surface of the vehicle, offering protection against physical damage like rock chips, scratches, and road debris. PPF is a much more protective option compared to ceramic coating, and it can last 5 to 10 years. Some high-quality PPFs are self-healing, meaning minor scratches will disappear over time. PPF is more expensive and maintains the original look of your car’s paint without affecting its gloss.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
Dealerships will most likely try to upsell you on any protection, do not go with it!
Depending on the dealership, they will install protection that doesn’t last or poorly installed.

Llumar Paint Protection Film
Paint protection film (PPF) is undoubtedly the best way to protect your vehicle. It is a 10mm thick film specifically designed to withstand debris, love bugs, and other elements. Whether you drive long distances in Dallas, take your car to the track or simply want the best protection for your vehicle, paint protection film is the answer. For most cars, it is recommended to get some level of paint correction done before installing the PPF.
Why do you need paint protection film? You could be driving down the highway, and a rock could hit the hood of your car. Without PPF, this could cause a dent and chip in your paint. But with PPF, the film absorbs the hit and protects the paint underneath. Once you remove the PPF, your paint will still be in pristine condition.
If you're interested in ceramic coating as well, we can take care of it. And if you need your windows tinted, we can take care of that for you too.
