FAQs
PPF (Paint Protection Film)
While you can wax the film, be sure the product you are using doesn’t contain Naphtha or Kerosene in concentrations over 5%, and also avoid waxes that contain dyes. For best results, we recommend using our XPEL Flawless Finish Paint Protection Film Sealant. This product has been specially formulated for use with polyurethane paint protection films to provide the maximum protection and gloss, while containing no ingredients that would cause discoloration over time.
No special maintenance is required for ULTIMATE PLUSTM. However, the film will last longer and will be easier to clean if treated twice a year with XPEL Flawless Finish Paint Protection Film Sealant & XPEL Aftercare Products.
Any of our films can be installed on chrome, though the finish will look slightly different than if left unprotected. We recommend having our installer apply a small swatch to the desired surface so you can see what it looks like before deciding.
No. Because of the impact absorbency of paint protection film, the refractive index of the film is too different from that of the windshield. Because of this difference, putting the two together causes a distortion when looking through the glass that would be unacceptable to the vehicle’s occupants.
Yes, but we recommend waiting at least 48 hours for the film to dry & completely adhere before using a car wash.
Ceramic Coating
FUSION PLUSTM longevity and warranty varies by product. LITE is backed by a 1-year warranty. PAINT & PPF and SATIN offer a 4-year warranty. PREMIUM provides an 8-year warranty. See the XPEL warranty page for more information.
Ease of maintenance, hydrophobic properties, and self-cleaning properties
The coating links with the painted surface creating a new functional layer. By creating an inseparable bond on a molecular level with the vehicles paintwork you get a coating that cannot be washed off like a wax or sealant.
9H hardness is a rating based on the Pencil Hardness Test, commonly used by manufacturers of clear and pigmented surface coatings. The Pencil Hardness test is used to determine the scratch resistance of a coating surface by using pencils to scratch the surface and rate the scratch resistance in relation to that pencils hardness and other materials of similar hardness.
Ease of maintenance, hydrophobic properties, and self-cleaning are benefits of FUSION PLUSTM Ceramic Coating.
Interior Protection
Yes, but there are two types of film use for interior protection – ULTIMATE PLUSTM and RXTM Antimicrobial Film. Depending on the surface, you would choose one or the other.
Yes. STEALTHTM & RXTM MATTE are both used to protect interiors. In fact, STEALTHTM is requested most often for carbon fiber accents, to give a “dry weave” appeal, and RXTM MATTE on touch screens for glare reduction.
Film can be applied to many heavy-use areas, but the most requested are center console & controls, touch screens & displays, and dashboard trim & facias.

What they're saying about XPEL UK Install Centre
Denis Shpakov2024-05-16Outstanding quality of work, brilliant team and an exceptional customer service. Will certainly be back in the future and recommend it to my friends!
Marcel Rutten2024-04-22Great installation on my new car!
Blingz Detailing2023-11-17Best thing that has happened to me by far. Is going and learning how to apply paint protection film
/CE2023-10-30Services and products seem to be on a continuous decline in quality. My encounter with XPEL Biggleswade was purely by chance, and I must say it was a delightful surprise. It's heartening to witness that some traditional values of common courtesy and sensibility are still upheld. The management and the service I received in rectifying a severely flawed PPF installation by another provider were nothing short of astonishing. This is one of those truly exceptional instances where even a 5-star review doesn't do justice to the whole story. At no point was I urged or prompted to leave a positive review, despite the outstanding service I experienced. This is my way of extending a heartfelt thank you to the managing director and the entire team.
Sam Kelly2023-06-26From start to finish Joss was great. Had all three of my cars protected here. They take care in their work and provide a first class job.
The mad Leprechaun2023-01-24I booked my motorbike in, it was closed and the protection film was applied. I am so pleased with the results. My bike is protected and looks amazing!
Bastian Libal2023-01-19It was an absolute pleasure dealing with Bob to get the front end of my Peugeot Traveller van wrapped in Xpel paint protection. The result was absolutely flawless with extreme attention to detail. Well done!!!
Ruby Curzon2022-10-20I had full front end PPF and all over ceramic coating on my Audi TT very recently - From the start of the transaction to the end, the service I received was amazing. I reached out for a quote and Morgan got back to me very fast, I had a lot of questions, and he answered all and was very informative! I was booked in really quick, and despite royal mail strikes getting in the way for my touch up paint to be delivered, the car was completed in great time :) I was given a free of charge loan car as well so my day to day life wasn't interrupted! My car looks and feels amazing, getting the PPF and ceramic coating was the best decision I had made for my car! I was dealt with face to face by Morgan and Bradley, both were so lovely and friendly - what a great team, a great company and great customer service. I am very happy - thanks guys :)
