Why Tesla Paint Needs Extra Protection
Tesla paint is praised for its style but criticized for its softness. Common issues include:
- Rock chips from highway driving
- Swirl marks from car washes
- UV fading from California sun
- Tree sap and bird droppings in residential neighborhoods
In Encino, where vehicles are often parked outdoors and driven daily, PPF is an essential upgrade to protect your Tesla’s finish.
What Is Paint Protection Film (PPF)?
Paint Protection Film (PPF) is a transparent urethane film applied to your Tesla’s painted surfaces.
PPF offers:
- Self-healing properties for minor scratches
- Chemical and UV resistance
- Rock chip and road debris defense
- A hydrophobic surface for easier cleaning
- Long-term value by preserving your paint
At Merit Tint, we specialize in 3M and STEK PPF, two of the most trusted brands in the industry.
