Why Teslas in Encino Need Paint Protection
Encino’s urban traffic, occasional road work, and constant exposure to sun and dust can lead to:
- Rock chips and swirl marks
- Tree sap, bird droppings, and road grime
- Oxidation and fading from intense UV rays
Tesla’s soft clear coat and minimalistic design make damage even more noticeable. If you care about keeping your Tesla looking factory-fresh, Paint Protection Film (PPF) is the best long-term investment.

What Is Paint Protection Film (PPF)?
PPF is a transparent, ultra-durable film applied to your Tesla’s painted surfaces. It forms a protective barrier that absorbs damage from road debris, scratches, and the elements—without changing the appearance of your car.
Benefits include:
- Self-healing surface for light scratches
- Chemical and stain resistance
- UV and oxidation protection
- Gloss or matte finish options
- Protection for up to 10 years
At Merit Tint, we install only the best PPF brands available: 3M and STEK.
