It was a pleasure meeting with you here at the shop earlier! We’ve listed the options for your vehicle, if you have any questions please don’t hesitate to ask!
CAR WASHING
We prefer to receive cars that are clean and ready to go, in order to stay on schedule and get the car back to you as promised! While our installers do prep the surface for each job, some cars will require a car wash prior to starting to avoid scratching or imperfections…just know that if we need to wash or do an unplanned paint correction, it can push back the original delivered date.
For this we do offer onsite car washes for a flat fee of $35.
PAINT PROTECTION FILM
We use
XPEL Ultimate Plus which is the latest paint protection film (PPF) by XPEL! This paint protection film has a 10 year warranty, self-healing properties, 8mil thickness with clarity to make it look like nothing was ever installed on your car. PPF is designed to help prevent rock chips from damaging your painted surfaces, however, it is not indestructible. We offer both the standard gloss finish as well as the optional satin (STEALTH) finish. In addition to XPEL, we also have SunTek Ultra if you prefer as well.
The process - We first start with the XPEL vehicle template but then “roll our edges” wherever possible which is why our install time may be longer and our pricing a little higher than other shops but this allows for a much cleaner install. We’re also known for removing simple items such as door handles, mirrors…etc to give you a more customized installation. An average “full nose” installation takes 8-10 hours, whereas a “full car” can take 3-5 days depending on size and difficulty of the car. We always want our cars to spend an extra night with us so the film has that little extra time to dry and allow us to do one more inspection before you take delivery, we want you to be shocked by what you don’t see! (We also offer FULL custom PPF on most vehicles - please ask for specific pricing)
Pricing & Options: 2022 Lucid Air Dream
(As of right now the pricing for custom PPF would be
25% more than the pricing listed below - Once XPEL has a template though, the pricing below should be accurate)
Full Car Coverage (all the exterior painted and carbon fiber areas are covered for the ultimate in protection) NOTE: The standard Full Body does NOT include the rear diffuser. Some vehicles have carbon fiber, gloss black or textured plastic rear diffusers…please let us know which option you have so we quote you correctly!
$6700 (or $7035 for STEALTH)
Full Nose (front bumper + hood + front fenders + mirror backs + headlights)
$2300
A-La-Carte Options:
Full Front Bumper (bumper only)
$700
Rocker Panels (usually runs from behind the front wheel to in front of the rear wheel)
$750 (Medium rockers)
Rear Bumper Top / Luggage Area (6” tall x width of trunk opening to stop scratching when removing items from your trunk)
$175
Full Rear Bumper (not so much for rock chips, but does help when parking in tight spots agains the “rubbing” of bumpers)
$700
Ceramic Coating Over The Top of Your Clear Bra
$ Rates vary depending on how much clear bra you have applied - ask for pricing
WINDOW TINTING & WINDSHIELD PROTECTION
We are proud to offer XPEL Prime for our window tinting services! Why XPEL? Not all films are created equal and this is one situation where you really do get what you pay for. All window tint blocks UV rays, however, some other manufacturers out there tout this as
revolutionary...it is if that's the only thing you have going for you! Infrared or IR blocking films are the best on the market and because of this we offer a couple of different options from XPEL:
- XPEL Prime XR Plus (Lifetime Nationwide Warranty, Infrared Blocking from 94-98%, Shades ranging from 5% (limo) to 70% (almost clear), Heat Blocking from 52% - 71% TSER)
- XPEL Prime XR (Lifetime Nationwide Warranty, Infrared Blocking from 83-88%, Shades ranging from 5% (limo) to 70% (almost clear), Heat Blocking from 49% - 66% TSER)
Pricing & Options: 2022 Lucid Air Dream
4 Door Sedan (All side windows - rear window is NA for this car)
- XPEL Prime XR Plus - $550
- XPEL Prime XR - $400
Windshield Tint (We recommend 70% tint…very light)
- XPEL Prime XR Plus - $700 (no warranty due to the size)
Please note - with either windshield tint and/or windshield protection, there may be a small amount of distortion when staring AT the windshield...typically you will be looking "through" the windshield but it is still something to note. This will also vary depending on the car and tolerance per user. Feel free to ask us more about this!
GLANZ CERAMIC COATINGS & PAINT CORRECTIONS
A little backstory about our Glanz Ceramic coatings and how it came about! We used to promote Ceramic Pro and other brands of ceramic coatings but what we saw over the years is that they kept making changes to their product line, making them easier to install. Although it made it quicker and easier for the professional installer to apply, we felt that it compromised the quality of the product.
Back in 2016, we were contacted by one of the largest and oldest ceramic coating companies out of Frankfurt, Germany that coats a majority of industrial equipment (trains, metro buses, buildings…etc) in which they wanting to collaborate to create an incredibly durable ceramic coating for high end vehicles. The process begins and after numerous testings, we finally had it all dialed in. The product was sent out to an independent lab for testing and after receiving our reports back, we finally realized that we achieved what we were looking for…the best coating on the market!
Ryan, The owner of PFS (with nearly 2 decades of paint protection knowledge) partnered with the help from other industry leading experts, and put their minds together to finally release a full line of Glanz Ceramic coatings products for the industry! Over the last couple of years, we’ve had it in the hands of many high-end detailers around the world getting feedback to ensure it was truly the best. More recently, we started offering it to even more select shops here in the US. Most of our users were past or current users of Ceramic Pro, Modesta and G-Techniq and have been very happy with the conversion.
So why are the Glanz Ceramic coatings only 1-2 layers of base coat when all the other brands say they offer up to 10 layers….well, that’s just “creative marketing”. If you know how chemical bonding works then it’s easier to understand that if you create the correct proportion of Sio2 (ceramic) and solvents, you can make a single layer of Ceramic instead of doing multiple layers to achieve the same micron thickness of Ceramic. The other companies make it easier for the installers to apply by adding more solvents which requires more layers because of the high solvent content that evaporates each layer. With our Glanz line, you still get the same protection but without all of the “sales fluff”…like we said, we designed it from a quality of product mindset and not a marketing angle.
We know you have many choices in the industry, but we hope that you feel comfortable putting a product on your vehicle that was completely developed for the Hyper-Car and Super-Car industry…the highest standards that is great on any vehicle.

Glanz Ceramic Package Options (pricing does NOT include any paint correction or prep - we need to see your vehicle to evaluate)
Paint correction & preparation work is usually required before we can apply the Ceramic Coatings - in order to give you an exact price, we would need to see the vehicle so we can evaluate the current condition of the paint. Once you’ve installed the Ceramic Coatings, any imperfection left behind is usually magnified and at that point is too late to remove unless we start the process over. Below are some pricing examples, but the best thing to do is stop in for a quick inspection to determine exactly what is needed.
Paint Correction Example Pricing
Pricing can vary by vehicle size and amount of damage to the existing paint - we require a vehicle inspection to give you an accurate price quote)

Annual Maintenance - Required for "Ceramic over Paint"
As a reminder, while ceramic coatings help tremendously with protection and ease of aftercare maintenance, they are not bulletproof! They still require weekly car washing and normal maintenance to uphold the warranties. To get the best from your ceramic coating, we require an annual inspection and maintenance which costs $300. During this process, we will overlook the condition of the existing coating and address any potential issues in the 9H base coat. Once car has been inspected and it’s ready for the final step, a new fresh layer of Top Coat is then reapplied over the vehicle leaving the paint hydrophobic and slick for another full year to come! This process takes place in-house here at our Orange County location and typically takes 1 full business day. (A next-day pickup is required to allow plenty of curing time).
Please note - if the vehicle is dirty or extremely scratched then there may be additional charges to get the surface prepped.
We highly recommend our PFS/Glanz aftercare line of products. This makes taking care of your ceramic coated cars (or even non-coated cars) so much easier!

**** PLEASE NOTE ****
When searching for a company to work on your vehicle, it involves more than just someone that can buy film and attempt to put it on a car. There's so much more to think about, for example:
- Are they insured? And does their insurance policy cover the value of the types of cars they're working on?
- How long have they been in business?
- Just because they're "factory trained" doesn't mean they've done very many cars - ensure that you're getting someone that has experience on a car of your level and you're not part of their "learning curve”!
- Have you checked Yelp, FaceBook or automotive forums about their reputation?
- Is it a 1 person operation...what happens if that 1 person is hurt, sick or is so busy that you may wait weeks to get any warranty work completed?
- Do they have an actual shop/facility, or are they operating out of their vehicle (mobile)?
- Do they have a valid business license?
- Does the other company do background checks on their installers?
- Do they carry workers compensation or have a good valid insurance policy to protect you and your vehicle if something should happen to the car while the film is being installed? If not, then you're 100% liable for any damage to your vehicle AND if they get hurt while at your location, you're also 100% liable if they don’t have the proper insurance!
- If they drive your car for any reason, are they operating with a valid drivers license and does their policy include the value of your car and also driving someone else’s car?
With Protective Film Solutions, you're covered on all the above....every license and insurance policy is available for your review upon request...just ask!
