What Are the Limitations of Paint Protection Film (PPF) in Charlotte, NC?
Paint Protection Film is undoubtedly an incredible product. When selecting a quality film and an experienced installer, the application of a Clear Bra will add value to your vehicle.
That said, the product can be oversold and overpromised by some manufacturers and installers. In order to be an informed consumer, it’s important for you to know what Paint Protection Film does not do.
Paint Protection Film is not bullet-proof
The urethane film of a Clear Bra is incredibly strong and impact resistant. That being said, it does not have super-powers. It can be damaged by a particularly strong force.
Paint Protection Film is not maintenance-free
Long-term automotive paint protection is never a one-stop solution. The road is a dirty place. Your film will get dirty. If you let dirt, bird-droppings, or bug-splatter sit on your car’s film, you will shorten the film’s life. You will still need to wash your car regularly in order to maintain its look and maximize the value of the film.
In order to help with the maintenance and longevity of a film, we always recommend applying ceramic coating on top. Also, check out our article on how Paint Protection Film and Ceramic Coating work together.
What About Yellowing, Blistering, or Peeling?
If you’ve done some reading around the Internet, you may have encountered individuals documenting defects that have appeared in their Clear Bra, specifically yellowing, blistering, or peeling.
Here’s the good news: all of those degenerations can easily be avoided by the smart customer. If you want to learn more, check out our article on how to avoid yellowing, blistering, or peeling in your PPF.
We install PPF for luxury vehicles, exotic cars, sports cars, pickup trucks, SUVs, and more in Charlotte, NC.
Paint Protection Film Options in Charlotte, NC
For complete protection, Paint Protection Film can be applied to all exterior painted surfaces. This is called a Full Wrap.
Alternatively, Paint Protection Film can be applied to the areas most vulnerable to rock chips and scratches. Typically, this comes as either a Full Front (PPF applied to the full front bumper, full hood, full fenders, and mirrors) or a Partial Front (PPF applied to the full front bumper, the leading edge of the hood, part of the fenders, mirrors).

What Our Clients Say
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“[Exclusive Paint Protection Charlotte – PPF, Ceramic Coating & Window Tinting] did an amazing job on applying a nearly whole car PPF wrap (full front, and sides) and NC legal tint film to the windows and rear glass on my new car. I can hardly tell where the PPF lines are unless I bring out a magnifying glass. All edges can be fully wrapped around – are fully wrapped around. They also re-applied the stock/factory PPF on top of the PPF on my flared rear wheel arches for additional protection where it’s really needed. These folks were a pleasure to work with and they cared about your vehicle as much as you do. The car looked amazing after I picked it up, I was shocked. It looked better than new…. I would not hesitate to work with them again.” -Scotty H. on Google

“Excellent service! High quality work! Very satisfied with the tint and paint protection film.” -Edward H. on Google
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“Brian installed Llumar paint protection film on the front of my Corvette Stingray. He explained the details before the work was done and examined the car with me after it was completed. It looks great and will hopefully protect my car for years to come. Brian and team are consummate professionals – detail oriented and passionate about the quality of their work.” -Scott R. on Google
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“My experience with Brian Brown at Exclusive Detail was amazing and beyond my expectations. He took the time to ask me questions to get to know me and assess what I both needed and wanted for my [car]. Patiently, he answered my countless questions, explaining what would be best for my car and situation. An excellent educator, he guided me through a myriad of choices to protect my car. In no way did he attempt to up-sell, in fact, quite the opposite. In Brian, I found honestly, integrity, exceptional professionalism, and kindness. And his work, including window film, and paint protection film on the entire car, was extraordinarily well done. Without reservation, I highly recommend Brian and his team.” -Sherylle D. on Google
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“I can always count on Exclusive for anything from paint protection, cosmetics, all round complete care for my cars. Glad I came today. My car always leaves happy 😎 🚘” -Stephan on Google
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“Brian and his crew do terrific work, offer a great value and after a recent minor accident, the paint protection film he’d applied more than paid for itself. In fact, the business was able to remove the damaged film and replace it for less than my lowest body shop estimate from elsewhere in town. Don’t think twice – protect your baby with Exclusive Detail!” -Jackie M. on Google
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“They did a great job applying paint protection film on my new X5. They went above and beyond. Also did a great job communicating and getting me in quickly. Would recommend.” -Steven G. on Google
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“The short story is that I went to another shop (that was informally recommended by Tesla rep) and they tried twice to install a paint protection film with a poor installation. [The other company] embarrassingly sent us to Exclusive Detail. The workmanship was superb as Brian takes great pride in his work. That and the excellent customer service combine for a great experience. Book soon because they are busy.” -Spencer D. on Google
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“Brian, his wife, and the folks at Exclusive Detail are amazing. After purchasing the Rivian R1T I started researching shops to install PPF, Ceramic Coating, and Window Tint. In my opinion, no other shop in CLT area could even compete with Exclusive. Their service, quality, attention to detail, overall demeanor is out of the world. Brian was great at educating me on benefits on different products, showing me what they look like, and ultimately providing an amazing finished product. We ended up with clear PPF, window tint, and Ceramic coating and it all looks amazing. I consider myself a difficult customer as I ask a lot of question and like to see the process (it’s how I learn), and everyone at Exclusive did great at accommodating my needs and making me feel like a valued customer. Thank You Exclusive Detail!” -Cory P. on Google
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“I dropped my STi off with Exclusive Detail just as I was leaving on a trip. It got a full detail, paint correction, ceramic coating, and some PPF on the rockers. The ask was that I drop it off when I left on the trip, and that it was done when I got back. The team was easy to work with, understood what I needed, and did an amazing job. When I returned the STi was better than the day I picked it up at the dealer new. I was so impressed that when I picked up my new Focus RS, the first thing I did was drive it right over to them and schedule the same treatment for it. Bottom line: My car is my baby. I care about every detail, and will only trust it with specific people. I have no issue trusting my cars with Exclusive Detail, and you shouldn’t either.” -Sam W. on Google
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Brian and his team responds promptly to messages and provides fair quotes. I am thoroughly impressed with both the quality of the work, and the fantastic service that I was given. Everyone I spoke to was extremely helpful. I couldn’t be happier with my PPF, and my windows. Highly highly recommended this place!” -Mason P. on Google
