Why Choose PPF From AVID?
AVID uses premium XPEL Paint Protection Film, applied with precision in our purpose‑built workshop to ensure flawless coverage and long‑term durability. Our technicians have extensive experience installing PPF on luxury vehicles, supercars, daily drivers, and specialty builds.
What Is Paint Protection Film (PPF)?
Paint Protection Film is a transparent, self‑healing polyurethane film applied to your vehicle’s paint to prevent stone chips, scratches, swirl marks, and environmental damage. It provides the highest level of physical protection available for automotive finishes.
PPF Benefits

High‑quality, Self‑Healing Technology
Heat‑activated self‑healing film removes minor swirls and marks automatically, keeping your paint looking new.
UV & Environmental Defense
Protects against oxidation, bird droppings, bug etching, and chemical staining.
High End Finish Options
