Why this coverage
WHY FULL FRONT PPF + CERAMIC COATING FITS THE BMW IX 2026
EVs are quiet, quick, and heavy, and their factory paint is often thin. Instant torque means more time behind traffic throwing gravel, and single-stage repairs on EV paint are expensive. Full front PPF protects the bumper, hood, and fenders, and the self-healing top coat takes care of light swirls from washing.
The ceramic coating goes on after the film cures. It bonds to the PPF and the exposed paint, adds a slick hydrophobic layer that sheds water and road grime, and makes the BMW iX 2026 much easier to wash. Coated film also resists the water spotting and bug etching that dull uncoated film over time.
EV front bumpers house sensors and cameras. We cut and tuck the film around them so nothing is covered or misaligned.
HOW THE INSTALL WENT
- 01Two-bucket wash, iron decontamination, and clay bar so nothing is trapped under the film.
- 02Computer-cut STEK patterns for the BMW iX 2026, with edges wrapped or tucked where the panel allows so there is no visible edge.
- 03Wet install, squeegee-out, and a heat set on every edge so the film stays put through Virginia summers and car washes.
- 04Panel wipe and ceramic coating applied to the film and the paint, then cured indoors before the car goes home.
- 05Final inspection under our lights, aftercare walkthrough, and warranty registration.
Questions
BMW IX 2026 FAQ
Full front PPF is a one-day install. Adding a ceramic coating means a full paint decontamination and cure time, so plan on two days for the BMW iX 2026. We confirm the schedule when you book.
We install STEK paint protection film with a 12-year manufacturer warranty against yellowing, cracking, peeling, and bubbling. The top coat self-heals light scratches with heat from the sun or warm water.
