Services
Paint Protection Film
XPEL's self-healing paint protection film shields vehicles from scratches, rock chips, and environmental damage while maintaining optical clarity. This urethane film bonds to painted surfaces, preserving resale value through advanced stain resistance and 10-year warranty coverage. Professional installation includes vehicle preparation and precision pattern application.
Ceramic Coating
XPEL Fusion PLUS ceramic coating creates hydrophobic protection that repels water, dirt, and contaminants while enhancing paint gloss. The SiO2 formulation bonds at molecular level, offering 4-year durability against UV damage and chemical etching. Combined with PPF, it provides comprehensive surface protection requiring less frequent maintenance.
Window Tinting
XPEL's nano-ceramic window films block 99% of UV rays while rejecting up to 98% of infrared heat. Available in multiple shade levels with lifetime warranty, these non-metallic films maintain signal clarity for electronic devices. Professional installation ensures bubble-free application with precision cutting for all vehicle types.
Custom Wheels
Comprehensive wheel solutions including custom finishes, powder coating, and high-performance tire packages. Services combine aesthetic enhancement with functional improvements through lightweight alloy options and precision fitment. Includes TPMS compatibility and professional balancing using manufacturer-grade equipment.
Brake Painting
High-temperature brake component painting protects against corrosion while adding custom styling. Process includes complete disassembly, media blasting, and application of heat-resistant coatings in multiple color options. Precision masking ensures functional surfaces remain unpainted for optimal braking performance.
