Whether you’re dealing with the daily grind or the rigors of rugged terrain, discover how this advanced film can keep your car looking new for years to come.

What is XPEL ULTIMATE PLUS?

XPEL ULTIMATE PLUS is an advanced paint protection film designed to shield car exteriors from environmental damage and wear. This film is made from a sophisticated polyurethane blend, providing a clear, durable barrier that preserves the look and value of your vehicle.

The ULTIMATE PLUS Lineup

The XPEL ULTIMATE PLUS lineup features various options of paint protection films, each designed to meet specific needs for protection and aesthetic preferences. At the heart of this lineup is the flagship ULTIMATE PLUS film that comes in at 8 mil. 

Here’s an overview of each type, detailing their benefits and recommended applications.

ULTIMATE PLUS 10

  • Benefits: This is the most robust film in the lineup, offering the highest level of protection against severe conditions. Its increased thickness helps shield against heavy impact, road debris, and harsh weather.
  • Applications: Ideal for cars frequently used in challenging environments, like off-road adventures or in areas with extreme weather conditions. It’s also well-suited for high-wear areas such as bumpers and hoods on daily drivers.

ULTIMATE PLUS 7

  • Benefits: ULTIMATE PLUS 7 provides substantial protection with a slightly thinner film than the flagship ULTIMATE PLUS, making it easier to apply on curved and complex surfaces. It retains the self-healing and UV resistance features of the thicker films.
  • Applications: Versatile enough for general use on a variety of cars, from family cars to luxury vehicles, covering full bodies or targeted areas like doors and fenders.

ULTIMATE PLUS BLACK

  • Benefits: Combines the protective qualities of ULTIMATE PLUS with a stylish, high-gloss black finish. This film offers self-healing properties and adds visual enhancement to the car’s exterior.
  • Applications: Perfect for owners looking to make a style statement while protecting their vehicle. It’s particularly popular among luxury car and sports car owners who value both aesthetics and paint protection.

Why XPEL ULTIMATE PLUS is the Premier Choice in Paint Protection Films

1. Self-Healing Technology

While the warranty for XPEL ULTIMATE PLUS is impressive, it’s the film’s self-healing capabilities that truly set it apart. XPEL pioneered the integration of self-healing top coats in their paint protection films, starting with the original XPEL ULTIMATE around 2010. Since then, the product has undergone numerous refinements, culminating in the XPEL ULTIMATE PLUS. 

Recognized as one of the best paint protection films on the market, XPEL ULTIMATE PLUS excels in installation ease, clarity, and its minimal texture topcoat. Its hydrophobic and self-healing properties not only make it highly resistant to UV rays and prevent yellowing, but also offer exceptional chemical resistance, effectively repelling common automotive fluids like carb cleaner, lacquer thinner, brake cleaner, and brake fluid. 

2. UV and Chemical Resistance

This paint protection film excels in its ability to resist environmental aggressors like UV rays and harsh chemicals. Over time, these elements can fade and damage car paint. However, XPEL ULTIMATE PLUS prevents discoloration and maintains its clarity, effectively shielding your car against damaging agents such as road salt, bird droppings, and tree sap.

3. Hydrophobic Properties

XPEL ULTIMATE PLUS not only protects; it also keeps your car cleaner. Thanks to its hydrophobic properties, the film causes water to bead up and slide off the surface, taking dirt and debris with it. This feature simplifies the cleaning process and contributes to maintaining the vehicle’s shine, enhancing its appearance while reducing maintenance efforts.

4. Warranty

Among the top choices for paint protection film manufacturers, XPEL truly distinguishes itself. Starting with their industry-leading 10-year warranty, XPEL’s commitment to customer support is evident. They stand firmly behind their products, ensuring a seamless claims process that can be easily managed through their main office.

This comprehensive warranty is valid across the USA and involves a straightforward procedure: open a claim, remove the old film, return it, receive credit, and install the new film. XPEL’s dedication to quality and customer satisfaction makes them a standout choice in the PPF market.

5. Customer Support

Customer support today can be unpredictable—some companies excel while others fall short. XPEL distinguishes itself with exceptional customer support. Simply dial their 1-800 number and you’ll connect with knowledgeable staff ready to assist with a wide range of issues. For small businesses like ours at American Wrap Co., the level of support XPEL provides is remarkable, akin to having an extended team at our disposal.

Another notable feature is their person-to-person service; no frustrating automated menus to navigate. They also offer a 24-hour support line for after-hours technical assistance. Having partnered with XPEL for over a decade, we can confidently say their customer service is unmatched by any other manufacturer in the industry.
