Paint protection film, often called PPF or clear bra, is a clear, self-healing film applied over your car's painted surfaces. It takes the hits from rock chips, road debris, bug splatter, bird droppings, sand and light scratches, so your factory paint doesn't. Light swirls in the film disappear with heat, and once installed the film is nearly invisible.
Since 2015, we've installed XPEL paint protection film at our Edina shop for drivers across Edina, Eden Prairie and the Minneapolis area. Every installation starts with careful paint prep. We then use precise patterns and careful edge work for a clean, factory-like finish.
A single repaint of a hood or bumper can cost more than protecting it in the first place. PPF also keeps your original paint intact, which helps resale value. Pair it with ceramic coating for easier washing on top of chip protection.
We only install premium XPEL film. Our installers are certified and trained in XPEL's patterns and techniques. We never use bargain films that can yellow, peel or leave lifted edges. Every installation is done indoors in a clean, controlled shop environment for the best possible adhesion and clarity.
Your vehicle starts with a thorough wash and decontamination. Light paint correction is done where needed, so the film goes on over a clean, smooth finish. The film is then cut, positioned and squeegeed into place, and the edges are carefully finished.
PPF is low maintenance. Wash it like normal paint, and avoid aiming a pressure washer directly at the film's edges. We'll go over aftercare at pickup, including how soon you can wash the car.
Drive a Tesla, Rivian, Porsche or Mercedes-Benz? We install XPEL paint protection film on these makes all the time. See the services and photos of cars we've done on our Tesla, Rivian, Porsche and Mercedes-Benz pages.

Anyone who commutes on I-35W, I-94, Highway 62 or Highway 100 knows what the first winter does to a hood and bumper: sand and salt thrown by trucks, loose gravel at every on-ramp and debris from construction zones. Paint protection film is the most effective way to stop those chips, and it is why Minneapolis owners of new Teslas, Rivians, Porsches, Mercedes and family SUVs make the short drive to Edina.
We are an XPEL partner and install film indoors at 4444 W 76th St in Edina, about 20 minutes from downtown Minneapolis and closer still to Linden Hills, Fulton, Armatage, Kenny and Tangletown. Patterns are computer-plotted for your exact year, make, model and trim, edges are wrapped where the panel allows, and your XPEL warranty is registered in your name. If you are deciding between a partial front, full front or full body, send us photos and we will recommend coverage based on where your car actually takes hits.
The partial front end package includes the bumper, 24 inches of protection to the front hood, protection to the fenders, and protection to the mirrors.

We are a certified XPEL installer. XPEL ULTIMATE PLUS is a clear, self-healing film with a 10-year manufacturer warranty against yellowing, cracking, peeling and staining. For a satin look we install XPEL STEALTH, and we offer XPEL Windshield Protection Film as an add-on. Light swirls in the film disappear with heat from the sun or warm water.
Yes. Minnesota roads throw sand, gravel and salt at your front end all winter, and highway driving on I-494, I-35W and Highway 100 chips paint quickly. Film absorbs those impacts so the paint never sees them, which protects resale value and avoids repaint costs. Many of our customers protect new Teslas, Rivians, Porsches and trucks in their first weeks of ownership.
The full hood, full fenders, front bumper, side mirrors, headlights and fog lights are wrapped in a single layer of film with no visible line across the hood. Edges are wrapped where the panel allows so the film is nearly invisible. If you want the rockers, A-pillars and roof edge covered as well, the track package adds those high-impact areas.
Yes, and we recommend it. XPEL FUSION PLUS ceramic coating bonds to the film, adds gloss and makes the car far easier to wash. Bugs, salt and road film rinse off instead of sticking. Many customers choose PPF on the front end with a ceramic coating over the entire vehicle for complete protection.
