Mercedes Benz E 450 Gets Protected with PPF and Ceramic Coating.

Featured this week is this a beautiful, diamond white coupe, that Mercedes Benz describes as, "The romance of the only pillarless coupe in its class meets a passion for innovation and performance in the E 450. With more power, industry-advancing technology and finely crafted appointments, it's a motoring tradition, accelerated." The 2020 E 450 came to us from local business owners Eric and Sadie at Deity Components in Nampa. They wanted their new investment fully protected and our team of certified XPEL installers were up to the task. Thank you for the opportunity to earn your business. To start, we cleaned and prepared the vehicle, and then applied XPEL ULTIMATE PLUS™ paint protection film. This is a virtually invisible urethane layer that protects your vehicle’s paint from everyday damages including scuffs, scratches, chips, and more. This film is self-healing, provides protection from discoloration, is resistant to stain, and comes with a 10-year warranty. An excellent choice. And for that extra layer of protection and shine, we applied XPEL FUSION PLUS™ ceramic coating. This professionally applied product is specifically formulated to use on XPEL paint protection film. It enhances gloss and increases color depth, improves stain resistance, and has a self-cleaning hydrophobic formula. The slick, non-stick surface of FUSION PLUS, keeps your car looking its best. That means less washing, detailing, and money out of pocket. It also means more time for Eric and Sadie to enjoy their new vehicle.

The Matte Finish Looks Amazing on This New Ford Raptor

We originally spotted this Ford F-150 Raptor while out at Swan Falls admiring the sunset. Come to find out it was already scheduled for paint protection film and ceramic coating. More than happy about the way this one turned out. Here are some of the photos. We covered this 2020 Ford Raptor in full XPEL STEALTH paint protection film. STEALTH has the same protective qualities of XPEL ULTIMATE PLUS™, which protects your vehicle’s paint from everyday damages including scuffs, scratches, chips, and more. What’s amazing is the uniformly smooth, unique, satin finish, that virtually disappears over the matte, factory paint. And for that extra layer of protection and shine, we applied XPEL FUSION PLUS™ ceramic coating. This professionally applied product is specifically formulated to use on XPEL paint protection film. It enhances gloss and increases color depth, improves stain resistance, and has a self-cleaning hydrophobic formula. Do you have questions about window tint, paint protection film or ceramic coating?

Porsche 911 Carrera S Gets Paint Protection Film and Ceramic Coating

May brings thoughts of Spring flowers and hiking in the foothills – I think we’re all ready for that. The past few weeks have certainly been challenging, but our customers are still keeping us busy. So, we wanted to feature this beautiful 2019 Porsche 911 Carrera S that was brought in for PPF and ceramic coating. Thank you. Gavin and Andy were the installers on this job. They did a full body wrap, with XPEL ULTIMATE PLUS paint protection film. With a crystal-clear finish, this film is virtually undetectable. The clear coat properties eliminate fine scratches and swirl marks, by self-healing when exposed to heat. Do you have questions about paint protection film? See our services page for details.

Automotive Window Tint Frequently Asked Questions

As the temperature begins to heat up, we anxiously anticipate freedom from our new normal of shelter in place or some version of self-quarantine. We want to get out, rekindle the love affair we have with our vehicles, and prepare for those daily commutes back to the office or much-needed, weekend road trips. With all that in mind, our customers have been asking more questions about the topic of window tint. From recent conversations, we have narrowed it down to five. Plus, added a few photos of recent tint installations – enjoy. Do I Need Window Tint?  There are many reasons our customers ultimately decide to install window tint: Reduced glare from the sun, enhancing visibility and reducing eye strain; Blocks solar heat radiation, keeping vehicles cool and improve fuel efficiency; or Protection from harmful UV rays, that can cause skin cancer and skin damage. Ultimately, it's your decision. What does VLT Mean?  The percentage of light that a window tint film allows to pass through your car windows is called the VLT (Visible Light Transmission), and each state has different legal allowable limits. A Higher VLT means that more light can pass through the window tint film. Example: a 75% tint will allow 75% of the light to pass through whereas a 25% tint will only allow 25% of the light to pass through, making the 25% tint a much darker film. This 2018 Nissan Armada looks like new, after receiving XPEL PRIME XR Black 35 window film, its protected with SPF 1,000 and blocking over 99% of harmful UV rays.   Are There Different Kinds of Window Tint?  Yes. Film and film performance levels vary because of how the film is made. Films can be dyed, hybrid, nano-ceramic or – as IXPEL PRIME XR PLUS™ - made with a proprietary blend of metal and metal oxide nano particles. Depending on type, though, infrared heat rejection levels will vary from 45% to 98%. For more information check out our window tint page. Will Window Tint Interfere with My Cell Phone Reception?  That depends on the type of window film you choose. For ceramic films no, they will not interfere with radio, cellular, or Bluetooth signals. This fun, little VW Beetle is ready for a road trip. Also covered in XPEL PRIME XR Black 35, the driver and the interior are protected from the sun's harmful rays. Does XPEL Provide a Warranty?  Yes. All XPEL PRIME™ automotive window film is backed by a transferable, lifetime warranty against peeling, cracking, bubbling or turning purple. If you have any other window tint related questions, we are here to answer them. Just call, stop by our XPEL Boise location or contact us online.
