Cadillac CTS-V Protection

XPEL San Antonio just wrapped up this Cadillac CTS-V, it was in the shop for a few days getting XPEL ULTIMATE self-healing paint protection film applied to numerous areas that are subject to rock chips and more

XPEL ULTIMATE Paint Protection Film:

We installed ULTIMATE on the full hood, full front fenders, front bumper, headlights, mirrors, a-pillars, rockers, roof and antenna cover. When installing the Rocker panel pre-cut kit, we removed the factory-installed piece of film with a little steam and finesse. All of our pre-cut kits allow for wrapped edges, where possible.

XPEL ULTIMATE has a 10-year warranty that covers, yellowing, staining, cracking, blistering and delaminating.

Why we share:

We want people to know how good your car can look with paint protection film, and know a great company that stands behind their products. We're all about customer service and we want to show the installation process.

Now for the best part!

the hood is sprayed down with our installation gel, which allows the film to float until it is squeegeed in place

The installation on the hood is now complete. Next we wait for the edges to dry out a bit, and then they’ll be wrapped underneath the hood, to make for a seamless installation

This is the factory piece that is installed on the CTS-V, which only protects a section of the rock panel. Our pre-cut kit protects the entire panel
