Paint Protection Film
What is PPF?
Paint Protection Film (PPF) is an impact-resistant, eight mil (.008”) clear urethane plastic, which utilizes a clear-coat finish to maximize the glossy finish of modern vehicles. This film is applied to the body of the vehicle in strategically appointed areas. Originally coined the ‘Clear Bra’, it is also known as Paint Protection Film, ClearMask, Clear Shield, Invisible Shield, Invisible bra, or Stone Shield. PPF is designed to prevent automotive paint damage caused by gravel, insects, road debris, rocks and even vehicle impact.
Keep your car in excellent condition with our high-quality automotive paint protection film. If you’re in San Jose or Bay Area and are looking for the reliable vehicle films, get in touch with us today.
How do vehicle films work?
ClearBra paint protection is composed of a self-annealing outer layer combined with an energy-absorbing adhesive under layer. This modern technology creates a trampoline effect against rock chips - an owner's greatest worry. PPF provides a discrete barrier that is guaranteed not to bubble, crack, peel, or stain yellow.

Window Tinting
Benefits of Window Tinting
- Greatly enhances your vehicle’s appearance
- Cuts down on heat and glare from the sun
- Blocks 99% of the sun’s harmful UV rays, protecting you and your car’s interior.
- Provides privacy for you and your valuables while deterring break-ins.
The application of window film is not an art; it is a science. We utilize CAD-designed, computer-cut patterns, for laser accurate window tinting. Our mounting solution is prepared with distilled water to eliminate impurities that could distort your view. Quality automotive window tinting never takes place outdoors because wind, dust, and temperature are not controllable. Our clean work environment is neutral to air movement and prepped daily to minimize contaminants. Next, we ensure that your car's electronic components are protected by using drop cloths and moisture-resistant barriers when applying the window film.
High-quality auto films can protect your electronic components and any others belongings you keep in your car.

A full car takes approximately 3.5 to 4 hours to do.
Ceramic Coating
Over time, your car’s paint begins to look a little less flawless than it once did. Your car is exposed to things like weather changes, harmful UV rays, bugs, dust, and other types of debris each time you drive it, which means that its paint is being damaged slowly.
Ceramic coating is a semi-permanent coating that is applied to the exterior of your vehicle to protect against external paint damage.
It is a paint treatment that’s applied in liquid form, but cures to form a hard flexible layer over your vehicle’s paint. When the chemicals bond with your car’s paint, they create a hydrophobic (water-repelling) effect making surfaces easier to maintain clean.
It can withstand a significant amount of damage without showing any visible effects on your car, such as fading, oxidation, and chemical staining.
Traditional paint coatings such as wax wear off much faster than ceramic coatings, with proper maintenance you can expect it to last for years without wearing off after being exposed to weather, components of the atmosphere, bird droppings, or other possible contaminants.
