Why Tesla Paint Needs Protection in Sherman Oaks
Sherman Oaks roads may be scenic, but they’re full of hazards that can destroy your Tesla’s pristine finish:
- Gravel and debris on the 101 and 405
- Bird droppings and tree sap on Ventura Blvd
- UV exposure year-round
- Tight parking lot dings and door impacts
Tesla’s soft factory clear coat is especially vulnerable. That’s why Paint Protection Film (PPF) is one of the smartest ways to preserve both appearance and value.
What Is Paint Protection Film (PPF)?
PPF is a clear, ultra-durable urethane film applied to your Tesla’s painted surfaces. It acts as a physical shield that absorbs impact and resists environmental damage—without changing the appearance of your car.
Key features include:
- Self-healing surface for swirl marks and scratches
- Stain and chemical resistance
- UV and oxidation protection
- Long-term durability (up to 10 years)
- Matte or gloss finish options

Not at all. We carefully install around sensor areas to ensure 100% compatibility.
