Paint Protection Film FAQ
How Long Does Paint Protection Film Last?
With proper care, quality films like Autobahn PPF can last 5–10 years. Its self-healing properties ensure minor scratches and swirls disappear with heat, and the advanced hydrophobic surface resists staining and etching over time.
How Does PPF Compare to Ceramic Coating?
Ceramic Coating provides gloss, hydrophobicity, and UV protection, but it doesn’t stop rock chips or scratches. PPF, especially Autobahn’s advanced film, adds a physical barrier to your paint. Many customers choose both — PPF for impact zones and Ceramic Coating for overall gloss and easier maintenance.
Will PPF Change the Look of My Vehicle?
Not at all — Autobahn PPF is optically clear, so your paint color shines through. It enhances gloss and depth without altering the finish. For matte or satin looks, Autobahn also offers films that can transform your vehicle’s appearance while still providing top-level protection.
Do You Offer Colored or Custom-Style PPF?
Yes! In addition to clear protective films, Autobahn PPF is available in colored and matte finishes. This allows you to change the look of your vehicle while still enjoying the same impact protection and self-healing benefits. Whether you want a bold new color or a subtle satin finish, colored PPF offers both style and protection.
Can Paint Protection Film Be Removed?
Absolutely. Autobahn PPF is designed to be safely removed without damaging your paint when installed and maintained properly. If you ever want to replace, upgrade, or remove your film, our technicians can handle the process professionally, ensuring your vehicle’s factory paint remains intact.

Highly recommend for difficult detail work. A TON of paint was spilled on Via de la Valle and we drove our black Rivian right through it. Fortunately Ethan came right out to see what could be done and then we took the car into their shop so they could use the most efficient and safe method to remove this nasty stuff. All visible paint was removed and our car looks great again. Appreciate the great work!

10/11/2024 - Ethan did a fantastic job detailing my Harley's -- 2001 Heritage Classic and 2017 CVO Ultra! He communicated very well his arrival and updates on status! Smith Bros is my go to twice a year Detailer! Always professional, friendly and thorough. Prices are fair and the service is great. J Terrence D.
8/17/2024 - I have not used this business probably a dozen times for various Vehicles including the fleet trucks for my shop, and I can say that without exception they are the best in this business. They have a slew of options for online ordering, and I have yet to have one of their technicians show up late or being a bad mood. I have dealt with at least three or four of their technicians and I've yet to meet one that wasn't truly engaged in what they were doing as well as giving helpful advice. It's rare to find somebody that really enjoys what they do and do their absolute best. Keep up the good work and I will keep using you folks. Joel B.
10/12/2024 - I can't say enough good things about Smith Bros Mobile Detailers! After calling multiple businesses that didn't even bother answering their phones, I was relieved when these guys picked up right away. Not only did they respond promptly, but they also provided what I considered a very reasonable quote.
Although their location was a bit out of the way for me, it wasn't an issue at all--they picked up my car and even brought it back to me at the restaurant where I was having dinner! Now that's what I call top-notch customer service.
They did an absolutely beautiful job on my brand new black Escalade, applying a wax sealant and tinting the windows. I was initially nervous about handing over my car to people I didn't know, especially since it's a brand new vehicle, but they put all my worries to rest.
Luke and his team truly understand what it means to take care of their customers, and it shows in their work. As a business owner myself, it's a breath of fresh air to see someone running such a smooth and professional operation. I highly recommend Smith Bros Mobile Detailers! Deena V.
8/18/2024 - By and large the best interior detail I have ever received! I'm speechless at the quality of clean Donnie did. Truly amazing job, I won't ever try anyone else. Hannah S.
9/05/2024 - From start to finish, Luke and his team were exceptional in every way! They were super flexible with scheduling- even offered to come to my house to provide services for my convenience!!! Gavin did a phenomenal job on my tint and was super friendly and knowledgeable in regards to the after care! They washed and detailed my Class B van perfectly and it was sparkling when I picked it up!!!! I WILL DEFINITELY use them for deep detailing in my van every few months!! I am a FAN!!!!! Kim A.
