Prestige Protective Films helps Troy drivers protect their vehicle’s paint with professionally installed paint protection film (PPF). The clear film helps guard against stone chips, scratches, road debris, and everyday wear while preserving your vehicle’s finish.
About Prestige Protective Films
Michigan winters expose vehicle paint to road salt, stone chips, and loose grit that can damage the clear coat over time. Paint protection film (PPF) adds a transparent layer over selected panels, helping protect your vehicle’s finish from everyday road hazards while keeping the original paint visible.
The front bumper, hood, fenders, and lower body often take the most direct hits from road debris. This is especially relevant in Troy, where C&G News reported on March 12, 2026, that the city’s Public Works department stores up to 8,000 tons of road salt and budgets for 34 snow events each year. Protecting high-impact areas can help reduce visible wear from winter driving.
For drivers looking to protect these areas, Prestige Protective Films offers XPEL paint protection film, including ULTIMATE PLUS, an 8-mil film designed to help defend painted surfaces against common road damage. Our team has hands-on experience working with Teslas, Rivians, BMWs, Porsches, and exotic vehicles at our Waterford Township studio, serving Troy and nearby communities such as Auburn Hills, West Bloomfield, Pontiac, and Farmington Hills.
XPEL ULTIMATE PLUS protects your vehicle’s original paint with a clear, glossy film. Its self-healing technology helps minimize the appearance of minor scratches and swirl marks.
Best for: Preserving your car’s original color and glossy finish.
XPEL STEALTH transforms glossy paint into a smooth satin finish while adding a layer of paint protection. It’s ideal for drivers who want a more subtle, matte-style appearance.
Best for: Achieving a satin finish without changing your vehicle’s color.
XPEL COLOR combines paint protection with a color change, letting you refresh your vehicle’s appearance while protecting the original paint underneath.
Best for: Drivers who want a new vehicle color with paint protection. Want more detail on color film finishes and aftercare? See how a color PPF installation works at our Waterford studio.

You bring the car to the studio, where we wash, decontaminate and polish the paint before any film comes out.
We cut every pattern before the film goes near the paint, so each piece is ready to place when the install starts.
We apply the film wet so each piece can be positioned before it grips the paint, then press out the moisture beneath it.
The film needs time to set. We then look over every edge and corner to confirm the film lies flat and is fully down.
We inspect the finished film as the last step. Then you collect the car from the studio.
Tell us how you drive and what you want to protect, and we will recommend the coverage and film that fit your car. Send the request online, or call if you would rather talk it through.
Construction zones along Rochester Road and Big Beaver can expose vehicles to loose gravel, pavement debris, and dust. When these materials strike your vehicle during daily driving, they can leave chips and marks in the paint, particularly around the front bumper, hood, and fenders.
If your regular commute takes you through roadwork areas, paint protection film (PPF) can help shield these high-impact panels from stone chips and minor abrasions. Prestige Protective Films offers coverage options ranging from partial front-end protection to full vehicle applications, helping Troy drivers choose coverage based on their vehicle and driving habits.
Protecting vulnerable panels before paint damage occurs can help preserve your vehicle’s appearance over time. Our Waterford, MI studio offers PPF options for daily drivers, luxury vehicles, and performance cars, with coverage selected to suit your protection goals.

Wait at least 48 hours before washing XPEL ULTIMATE PLUS or STEALTH film, and 72 hours for COLOR film. For COLOR, hand wash out of direct sunlight and avoid automatic tunnel washes. Call Prestige Protective Films at 248-230-8858 if you have questions about caring for your new film.
Not always. Online images may look different from the finished film because of screen settings and lighting. Ask Prestige Protective Films about viewing available color samples in person and checking compatibility with your vehicle before choosing a finish.
XPEL ULTIMATE PLUS and STEALTH warranties can transfer to a new owner for the remaining warranty term when the original installation date can be verified. The COLOR film warranty is not transferable. Review the applicable warranty terms before installation or sale.
Paint protection film helps absorb stone chips and road debris on the panels it covers, but it does not make paint immune to every impact, and uncovered panels stay exposed. The warranty is separate from that protection: coverage depends on the film and the warranty terms, and XPEL’s exclusions may include stains, scratches, stone chips, road debris, improper washing, automatic car washes, non-XPEL ceramic coatings, collision damage, and hail. Review the warranty for your specific film before installation, or ask us to walk through it with you.
XPEL recommends applying Ceramic Boost to ULTIMATE PLUS and STEALTH film at least every six months to help maintain the finish. Follow the manufacturer’s current care instructions and use compatible products to keep your paint protection film in good condition.
