Oakland County’s winter roads expose vehicle paint to road salt and brine, which can contribute to corrosion and surface damage over time. With thousands of miles of roads across the county, protecting vulnerable painted panels matters during Michigan’s salt season.
XPEL color paint protection film comes in gloss and satin finishes, offering a way to change your vehicle’s appearance while protecting covered paint from everyday wear. Prestige Protective Films can install color PPF on selected panels or across the vehicle, depending on your goals and chosen coverage.
Serving Waterford and surrounding communities, Prestige Protective Films works with a range of vehicles, including Teslas, Cybertrucks, Porsches, BMWs, C8 Corvettes, Rivian models, exotic cars, trucks, and SUVs. Drivers from Pontiac, Sylvan Lake, Keego Harbor, Orchard Lake, Commerce Township, Lake Angelus, West Bloomfield, White Lake, Clarkston, Auburn Hills, Birmingham, and Troy can ask about available color film options. Troy drivers still weighing color film against clear gloss or satin protection can compare all three finishes for their car.
Add a color accent to key front panels while protecting the covered paint from everyday road wear. This option suits owners who want a more distinctive look without changing the appearance of the entire vehicle.
This package includes:

This package includes:
Change your vehicle’s overall appearance with color PPF across the main painted exterior panels. This option is designed for owners seeking a unified color change, with coverage extending beyond the front end to the doors, rear panels, roof, and other listed areas.
This package includes:
XPEL COLOR Gloss is the shiny side of the range, with ten colors that bring the deep, wet look people expect from fresh factory paint. The lineup spans bold choices such as Yellow and Monza Red as well as quiet darks like Obsidian Black. Pick gloss when you want the color to catch light and reflect its surroundings.
Best for: drivers who want a vivid, mirror-like color change. [Ask About Gloss Shades]
XPEL COLOR Satin trades the mirror shine for a soft, low-sheen surface that gives a car a muted, modern look. Five colors make up the satin range, and they lean toward earthy and deep tones such as Satin Thermal Beige and Satin Battle Green. Choose satin if you prefer a quiet finish that stands apart without the glare of high gloss.

Discuss your vehicle, preferred color finish, and planned coverage with the team. These details help establish your goals and determine the next steps before pricing and scheduling.
Bring your vehicle to the shop at your scheduled appointment. Review the selected color and covered panels with the team before installation begins to confirm the planned scope of work.
Your installer applies color film panel by panel using vehicle-specific patterns generated through DAP pattern software. Each piece is cut to suit the vehicle's panels and fitted to follow the body's contours.
Before handover, the team inspects the completed installation and checks the film across the covered panels. This provides an opportunity to review the finish and raise any questions about the completed work.
At pickup, the team explains how to care for your new color PPF, including recommended aftercare during the initial period. Ask any remaining questions so you understand how to maintain the film after leaving the shop.

Avoid washing your vehicle for the first 72 hours after installation, following XPEL’s care guidance. This gives the newly installed film time to settle before washing begins.
After the initial 72 hours, hand wash the vehicle in the shade once the panels have cooled. Avoid automatic tunnel washes, and wash about every two weeks or 600 miles. Dry with a blower or plush microfiber towel.
Use approved care products and avoid abrasive materials or harsh solvents. Keep pressure washers about three feet from the film, remove hard-water spots promptly, and arrange an annual film inspection to help maintain its appearance.

We are certified installers proudly serving Elizabeth Lake, MI, and surrounding areas with trusted brands like XPEL, 3M, and Avery Dennison for unmatched vehicle protection.
Coverage and finish choices look different depending on how and where you drive, so here is how three common local situations tend to point.
Drivers who regularly use busy routes like M-59 and Telegraph Road may prefer Full Front, which carries one color across the hood, fenders, bumper and mirrors so the whole nose matches. Partial Front suits owners who want a color accent and are comfortable with lighter coverage up front.
Water that gets into pavement cracks freezes, expands and thaws, and that cycle is how potholes open, as reporting from WXYZ and the Auburn Hills Department of Public Works explains. Older roads such as Dixie Highway, the former Saginaw Trail through Waterford Village and Drayton Plains, cross the area too. If your daily route is rough, Whole Vehicle may be worth pricing, since it extends the film to the doors and rocker panels as well.
A car here moves between July highs around 82F and January lows around 17F. Gloss gives a bright, reflective look that shows well in summer sun, while satin keeps a calm, muted surface through the gray months. Choose the finish you will enjoy looking at in both seasons.

Winter residue can accumulate on exposed panels, so consistent cleaning helps maintain the film’s appearance. Follow the installer’s aftercare guidance for recommended washing intervals and products.
Color paint protection film can help protect covered paint from certain impacts, including rock chips and scratches. However, it cannot guarantee protection against pothole damage or every type of road impact. The level of protection depends on the impact, film coverage, and surrounding conditions.
Contact Prestige Protective Films first to discuss the issue and review the installation. Warranty eligibility depends on the applicable product terms and the cause of the lifting. Keep your installation records and ask the shop how to proceed with a potential claim.
