INSTALLED BY A 2x XPEL GOLD MEDALIST, THE HIGHEST STANDARD IN PAINT PROTECTION
Your vehicle deals with a lot on Thousand Oaks roads, gravel kicked up on the 101, tree sap in Wildwood Regional Park’s shade, and the relentless Southern California sun. Paint protection film (PPF) is a virtually invisible urethane barrier that absorbs rock chips, scratches, and UV damage before they ever reach your factory paint.
At American Wrap Co., every PPF installation is led by Tyler O’Hara, a 2x XPEL Gold Medalist, a distinction earned by fewer than 1% of installers worldwide. Our shop in Newbury Park serves drivers across Thousand Oaks, Westlake Village, Agoura Hills, Camarillo, and Moorpark with the same precision and care whether we’re protecting a daily-driven Tesla Model 3 or a weekend Porsche 911.
PPF Coverage Packages for Thousand Oaks Drivers
Every vehicle and every driver is different. That’s why we offer four coverage tiers, each using XPEL Ultimate Plus or XPEL Stealth film, installed with our hybrid method that combines computer-cut precision with hand-finished edges for a seamless fit.
Level 1 — Front Bumper Protection
Covers the front bumper, the area that takes the most direct hits from road debris. A smart starting point for drivers who want essential chip protection without a larger investment.
Level 2 — Partial Front-End Protection
Extends protection to a partial hood section and side mirrors alongside the front bumper. This is our most popular choice for Thousand Oaks commuters, especially Tesla, BMW, and Rivian owners who want meaningful coverage on the panels most exposed to freeway debris.
Level 3 — Full Front-End Protection
The full front-end package: bumper, full hood, fenders, and mirrors. Ideal for high-value vehicles, fresh paint, or anyone who parks on the street in Westlake Village or commutes through the Conejo Grade daily.
Level 4 — Full Body PPF Wrap
Complete paint protection from bumper to bumper. Every painted surface is shielded with film. If you’re serious about preserving a new Porsche, a collector car, or any vehicle you plan to keep in showroom condition, a full body PPF wrap is the ultimate investment. Tyler’s XPEL Gold Medal–level craftsmanship ensures the film is invisible—no bubbles, no lifted edges, just flawless protection.
FLEXIBLE COVERAGE CHOICES
Beyond our standard packages, we can protect virtually any panel or area on your vehicle. Thousand Oaks and Conejo Valley drivers regularly ask us to cover:
- Full or partial front-end kits
- Door panels, door edges, and door cups
- Rocker panels and lower body panels
- Mirror caps
- A-pillars and roof edges
- Trunk ledges and rear bumper tops
- Headlights and fog lights
We use self-healing PPF that repairs light scratches with heat, keeping every panel looking fresh for years.
BULK INSTALLS AND WRAPPED EDGES
PPF Film Options: XPEL Ultimate Plus & XPEL Stealth
We install exclusively XPEL paint protection film, the brand Tyler trusts enough to compete with at the highest level.
XPEL Ultimate Plus
A high-gloss, virtually invisible film that enhances your paint’s natural depth and shine. Self-healing technology means light swirls and scratches disappear with warmth from the sun or the engine bay. This is the go-to for most Thousand Oaks installations.
XPEL Stealth
Transforms any gloss paint into a satin or matte finish while still providing full PPF protection. Popular with Porsche, Tesla, and BMW owners in the Conejo Valley who want a factory-matte look without the headaches of maintaining actual matte paint.
Both films carry a 10-year manufacturer’s warranty and are backed by the craftsmanship of a 2x XPEL Gold Medalist.
How We Install PPF in Thousand Oaks
PRECISION INSTALLATION & HYBRID METHODS
Since 2008, our team, led by Tyler O’Hara, has refined an installation approach that produces results most shops simply can’t match.
Custom Bulk Installs for High-End & Specialty Vehicles
Own something rare, modified, or high-impact? From Rivians and Lucids to classic Corvettes and track Porsches, we create custom protection patterns for any vehicle. Drivers from Agoura Hills, Camarillo, and across Ventura County bring their most valued vehicles to our shop because they know we handle them with care.
Computer-Cut Precision + Hand-Finished Edges
We use a hybrid installation method: computer-cut templates provide a precise starting pattern, then every edge is finished by hand to wrap film around panel sides rather than cutting on the paint surface. The result? Better adhesion, cleaner lines, and virtually invisible edges that hold up over years of washing and daily driving.
Professional Badge Removal & Reinstallation
We remove and reinstall badges and emblems so PPF can run continuously underneath no exposed edges where moisture, dirt, or wax can collect. Everything goes back on with a factory-quality fit.

Pair PPF with Ceramic Coating or Window Tint
PPF handles physical protection. But many of our Thousand Oaks clients add complementary services for total coverage:
- Ceramic Coating Over PPF: Layering a ceramic coating over PPF adds hydrophobic properties and UV resistance, making your protected surfaces dramatically easier to wash and maintain.
- Standalone Ceramic Coating: If PPF isn’t in the budget for every panel, a professional ceramic coating protects the remaining surfaces with a durable chemical bond.
Window Tinting: Our window tinting services reduce interior heat, block UV rays, and add privacy, a popular add-on for Conejo Valley drivers dealing with afternoon sun on the 101.
