Why this coverage
WHY FULL FRONT PPF + CERAMIC COATING FITS THE BMW IX 2026
The iX has a large, flat nose panel in place of a grille, with radar and camera hardware behind it, and it takes chips across its whole face on the Toll Road. Full front covers the hood, that nose panel, the bumper, both fenders, mirrors, and headlights, and the pattern is cut so every sensor window stays clear. BMW's EV paint marks easily, so the self-healing top coat earns its keep on the first automatic wash. The ceramic coating over the film and the rest of the body gives the flat iX panels the deep gloss the factory finish lacks and keeps the car clean with a rinse.
HOW THE INSTALL WENT
The iX has more sensors in its front panel than almost anything we see, so the day started with a map of every camera, radar, and parking sensor before the patterns were cut. After the wash, iron remover, and clay, the hood and fenders were filmed first, then the bumper with its grille panel cut cleanly around the sensor housings so driver assistance kept working. The film was heat set on the sharp fender creases and the headlight edges. The coating went on after the film cured, over the film and the matte trim-free body, and the owner picked the car up the following afternoon with the sensors tested on the way out.
- 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.
