If you’ve been following our social media posts or had a more detailed look around our website, you might have noticed that we’ve been fortunate to work with some amazing cars.  These are cars that many of us could only dream of driving, let alone owning!  We don’t take that for granted and know it’s a privilege to protect them so they can stay in the best possible condition.

When chatting to customers, we are often asked, why do we use XPEL Paint Protection Film exclusively? It’s true, and there are cheaper options available to wrap your car. Many customers who have had many cars wrapped by us have tried these cheaper options previously. Over time, the results do speak for themselves.  When it comes to paint protection film, you do get what you pay for.

We want to share the ins and outs of XPEL to offer you a complete picture of why we choose them against all other brands. As our valuable customers, or those interested in getting their car wrapped, we want you to know what you are paying for from how it is made, to what makes XPEL the best paint protection for your vehicle.

XPEL LEADS THE WAY IN PAINT PROTECTION FILM

XPEL’s reputation in the Paint Protection Film industry is second to none. Primarily because they have lead the way in many of the innovations in Paint Protection Film.  XPEL was the first company to introduce self-healing film, XPEL Ultimate and has developed and perfected the technology of automotive paint protection film.

XPEL is also a relatively small company compared to other film manufacturers because paint protection film is the sole focus of the company. When a company has a focus on being very good at one particular thing, it shows in the quality of the product they make.

XPEL FILMS HAVE A 10-YEAR WARRANTY

Warranties are twofold. A longer warranty means you are protected for a longer period of time and can put faith in the product you are purchasing. At the same time, if a company is offering a long warranty, it means they have complete confidence as the manufacturer in the quality of their product.

Over time, many other cheaper film products have issues that begin to present as a result of the inferior quality of the film. One of the most common problems we see if yellowing of the film, which completely changes the look of the car. You can imagine how yellowing might affect the appearance of a white car that has been wrapped in film. Exposure to the sun and other elements causes cheaper films to yellow. It is a gradual process that happens over time, as the car slowly starts to look more yellow than white.

Naturally, by the time this occurs, the product is generally out of warranty. Not only is the warranty shorter on cheaper products – after all, the manufacturer knows their product isn’t designed to last – but the quality isn’t there either. This means the film needs to be replaced at your own expense – unless of course, you enjoy the new yellow tinge to your car (each to their own!) The cost of replacing the film often ends up more than choosing XPEL film in the first place. So while it might seem like the cheaper option to begin with, it doesn’t often end up the case.

Of course, this is just one example of the problems that are faced with cheaper products. XPEL Paint Protection not only covers the yellowing but also staining, delaminating, cracking, peeling, bubbling and more.  If you want to find out more about XPEL’s warranty, you can find that here on their website.

XPEL’S DESIGN ACCESS PROGRAM (DAP) HAS 80,000+ PATTERNS AND GROWING

When it comes to protecting your car, you want the job to be done right. We have both the skills and expertise to achieve this for you, along with the help of XPEL’s DAP.

This is the design program that allows us to laser cut the film to a precise pattern for every car we cover. That means that the film fits precisely to every panel. 

There are no dodgy corners and leaving them open to the elements. There are no corrections that need to be made because the film didn’t quite fit. There is no pulling out a Stanley knife to cut a little edge off, even just a little to make it fit. Everything with XPEL is precise - which is unique to XPEL. 

This technology makes a huge difference to the quality of service we can offer our customers. No matter the model, make, or design of your car, we can use this program to cut a precise pattern unique for your vehicle. Every inch is covered and protected expertly, leaving nothing to chance.

In our experience, suppliers of other film don’t provide installers with such a comprehensive database of patterns. Instead, we are required to cut the film by hand a make it fit. This just doesn’t achieve the same level of quality. Corners are harder to get to, corrections are made, and edges need to be trimmed to get the exact fit. On face value, it may look like a great job but it doesn’t compare to the quality and precision offered through the advanced technology of XPEL. Nothing is left to chance.

As a certified installer of XPEL, we have access to the DAP at our studio and a specialised laser cutting machine that allows us to cut the film to size just before installation.

XPEL HAS THE BEST REPUTATION ON THE MARKET

In our opinion, good reputations are earned by delivering a great product that stands the test of time. In our years of protecting cars, we have seen firsthand why XPEL has earned their reputation as the best in the world.

Firstly, they make a great product, which they back with a decade long warranty for your peace of mind.

On top of this, they provide installers with the best resources to deliver the highest quality results each and every time.

When you combine these two aspects, you have the full package: a high-quality product backed by an extended warranty, along with training and resources that allow us to provide a great service.

They also invest in their product, including research and development to develop better film, including film that provides protection from bacteria, which is very relevant in today’s Covid-19 world.
