Self-Healing · 10-Year Warranty
The first rock chip is permanent. The film means there never is one.
Every highway mile sandblasts your front end. PPF is a clear, self-healing film that takes the hit instead of your paint — and light scratches disappear with heat. We install Stek Dynoshield, cut to your exact car by computer, in a dust-free indoor bay.
Light swirls and scratches in the film disappear with heat from the sun or warm water. The film absorbs impact and preserves your factory finish for years.
The ceramic is IN the film, not sprayed on top of it. Gloss, water-beading, and wipe-clean-in-seconds for the full life of the film — it never needs re-coating.
If the film ever yellows, lifts, bubbles, or fails under normal use, we re-film it free. In writing, for 10 years.
No blades near your paint. Patterns are cut by machine to your exact year, make, and model, then installed edge-to-edge in a controlled environment.
Before you pay the balance, we walk your car together in the light. If you can see a flaw, we fix it on the spot — or you take your deposit back. You don't pay for work you don't love.
The full front is the hood, the front bumper, both front fenders, and the mirrors — the panels that face the road. That's where the damage happens. Rocks kick up off the highway and hit the front of your car first, mile after mile.
Every piece is cut by computer to your exact year, make, and model. No blades near your paint. The edges wrap where the panel allows it, so there's no visible line across the middle of a panel.
Film where the road hits. Coating everywhere else. That's the honest setup for most cars in Northern Virginia.
The front of your car takes almost all the rock strikes. The sides and rear mostly face UV, water spots, and wash scratches — and ceramic coating handles those for a lot less than wrapping every panel in film. Plenty of shops will happily film the whole car. We'd rather give you the setup that matches how the damage actually happens, and let the work earn the next referral.
First, prep. We decontaminate, clay bar, and correct the paint as needed — film locks in whatever is under it, so the surface has to be flawless before anything goes on.
Then the install. Patterns are computer-cut and applied in our dust-free indoor bay in Chantilly. Controlled light, controlled air, no shortcuts.
Last, the Walkaround. Before you pay the balance, we walk the car together in the light. Any lifted edge, any speck under the film, any line you can see — we fix it on the spot, or you take your deposit back. You don't pay for work you don't love.
Straight answer: not every car needs film.
If your paint already has chips across the hood, film will seal them in — you'd want paint correction or repaint first, and we'll tell you that on the phone. If the car barely leaves the garage and never sees the highway, ceramic coating alone may be the smarter buy. And if you're returning a lease in a few months, protection rarely pays for itself.
If the car is new, you drive it, and you plan to keep it — that's exactly who PPF is for. The best time is before the first chip.
We install PPF for drivers across Fairfax County and Northern Virginia — Chantilly, Fairfax, Herndon, Centreville, Ashburn, South Riding, and Sterling. The shop is at 4215 Walney Rd, Suite 1A & B in Chantilly, minutes off Route 28.

High-quality PPF typically lasts 7–10 years with proper care, and our Stek film carries a 10-year manufacturer warranty against yellowing, bubbling, peeling, and delamination.
Most clients start with the full front — hood, fenders, mirrors, and bumper — because that's where the road hits first. We'll talk through your car and how you drive it on the phone, and give you a straight recommendation.
Installed right, no. The film is optically clear and wrapped to the edges. That's exactly what the Walkaround is for — if you can see a line, we fix it before you pay the balance.
PPF is a physical film that protects against rock chips and scratches. Ceramic coating is a chemical layer that repels water and contaminants and enhances gloss. They're complementary — many clients do both.
No. Removed properly on factory paint, the film comes off clean. That's one reason prep and a professional install matter — the film should protect your paint, start to finish.
It depends on your car and the coverage you pick — that's why we quote on the phone, after we talk through your car and how you drive it. Straight answer, real number, no games. Call (703) 775-4383 or send the quote form.
