Why Tesla Owners in Van Nuys Need Paint Protection
Van Nuys streets and freeways like the 101 and 405 expose your Tesla to:
- Flying gravel
- Road tar
- Bug splatter
- Bird droppings
- Tree sap
- Door dings in tight parking lots
Tesla vehicles are known for their sleek, minimalist design—but that same smooth paint is easily damaged without protection. And once your paint is scratched, it’s expensive and difficult to repair or match.
That’s why local Tesla owners turn to Paint Protection Film (PPF) from Merit Tint—for long-lasting defense and peace of mind.
What Is Paint Protection Film (PPF)?
PPF is a clear, self-healing urethane film applied to your vehicle’s paint. It creates an invisible barrier between your Tesla and the outside world, absorbing damage before it reaches your paint.
Key features include:
- Scratch and swirl resistance
- Self-healing properties with heat exposure
- UV resistance to prevent fading
- Hydrophobic surface to repel water and dirt
- Long-term protection for up to 10 years
