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.

This a great company. They have washed and waxed our travel trailer several times. Always a great job at a fair price.

9/21/2024 - Outstanding on time service, made my 2020 500gt look great with ceramic all around. Ford made a great engine but the typical ford plastic on the inside had to be protected. Definitely recommend! Cole L.
8/26/2024 - 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 - 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 - Updated: After some scheduling mishaps, the owner reached out to me a couple times to try to make things right. Luke, the owner, was willing to have the guy go to my work, or the shop where my car was going to be. When I finally had the chance to reschedule, the guys came out and did a mini detail, steam cleaned the seats, and odor remediation. There were two guys that came out and did a fantastic job. They paid close attention to detail and made sure I was completely satisfied before taking off. This was my second time using the company and would highly recommend them. Thanks to Luke and his staff for a wonderful detail. Liana G.
