See what each package covers
Partial front protects the bumper, mirrors and the leading edge of the hood and fenders. Full front covers the whole hood and fenders, so there’s no film line to see. Track adds the A-pillars and rockers.
Most new cars chip first on the bumper and hood, which is why full front is our most requested package.

How much does PPF cost in Fremont?
Paint protection film (PPF, or clear bra) is a clear, self-healing film that stops rock chips and scratches.
Why PPF matters on Fremont roads
Gravel trucks on I-880, construction around Warm Springs and the steep Mission Pass on I-680 mean East Bay commuters collect rock chips fast. One chip on modern tri-coat or Tesla paint can cost hundreds to repaint and never quite match. PPF takes the hit instead, and a damaged panel of film can be replaced without touching the paint.
PPF or ceramic coating?
PPF is physical armor: thick enough to stop chips and scratches. Ceramic coating is chemical armor: a hard, glossy layer that resists UV, bird droppings and water spots and makes washing easy, but it won’t stop a rock. Most owners put PPF on the front end and coat the rest. Compare both in our ceramic coating vs PPF guide.
Process
How it works.
Every panel is washed, decontaminated and polished where needed before film goes on, because film locks in whatever is underneath. Where it’s safe, edges are wrapped and seams tucked so the film is invisible from normal viewing distance.
- Inspection, paint-depth readings and a written quote
- Wash, decontamination and polish where the film will go
- Film installed with wrapped edges, then heat-set
- Final inspection and film warranty registration
The team paid attention to every detail, explained the process clearly, and delivered a clean finish. Highly recommend!

What’s the difference between 5-year and 10-year PPF?
Both are self-healing films installed the same way. The 10-year film carries a longer warranty against yellowing, cracking and peeling, which suits owners who plan to keep the car.
Is PPF really self-healing?
Yes. Light swirls and fine scratches in the top coat disappear with heat from the sun or warm water. Deep gouges that cut through the film won’t heal, but the paint underneath stays protected.
Can you see PPF on the car?
From normal viewing distance it’s virtually invisible. Edges are wrapped wherever possible, and full-panel coverage on hoods and fenders avoids visible lines.
Do I need paint correction before PPF?
Sometimes. Film locks in whatever is underneath, so swirls or water spots should be polished out first. New cars usually need only a light polish. We’ll tell you honestly after inspecting the paint.
Should I get PPF on a brand-new car?
It’s the ideal time, before the first rock chip. Many Fremont customers come straight from delivery so the paint is protected from day one.
