About Exclusive Paint Protection Charlotte – PPF, Ceramic Coating & Window Tinting Charlotte
Your car is our priority.
At Exclusive Paint Protection – Charlotte Detailing, PPF, Ceramic Coating & Window Tinting (formerly “Exclusive Detail”), we understand our customers, and more specifically, the connection that our customers have with their fine automobiles. It’s meaningful. It’s important. It’s something the local car wash guy or detailer doesn’t even think about. But we do. That’s why people who are serious about their cars come to us. We deliver serious car care. That means top-of-the-line products, technicians, and service. That means doing so much more than just making a car look and smell good. We deliver powerful, long-term solutions to people who want only the very best for their car. If they wanted anything less, they’d take it somewhere else.
What is Paint Protection Film (PPF) and How Does It Work?
Think of Paint Protection Film—often called PPF or “clear bra”—as an invisible suit of armor for your car’s finish. This advanced, transparent film is carefully applied to your car’s vulnerable painted surfaces, shielding it from chips, scratches, bug splatter, bird droppings, and those infamous Carolina love bugs (if you know, you know). It even fends off UV rays that love to fade glossy paint in the summer sun.
But here’s where PPF gets really clever: innovative brands like XPEL(™) and 3M Scotchgard (™) use self-healing technology, so minor scuffs and swirl marks can actually disappear with nothing more than a little warmth from the sun or your engine. Whether you’re daily driving or carving up mountain roads, PPF acts as the sacrificial barrier—taking hits so your paint doesn’t have to.
In short, PPF keeps your car looking new longer, no matter what life (or North Carolina roads) throw its way.
Taking Your Paint Protection Further
We know that peace of mind is everything when it comes to protecting your vehicle’s finish—but why stop at the basics? Many of our most passionate clients choose to level up their protection or customize the look of their ride with a few smart enhancements.
Ceramic Coating Over PPF: For the ultimate in defense against the elements, we can layer a nano ceramic coating over your Paint Protection Film. Think of it as an invisible shield on top of your invisible shield—amplifying the gloss, improving hydrophobicity, and making cleanup a breeze after every drive.
Custom Film Finishes: The days of “clear or nothing” are long gone. Looking to add a satin sheen, a bold matte effect, or even a touch of carbon fiber texture? We offer a range of PPF finishes—matte, gloss black, carbon fiber, smoked, and even unique finishes like matte clear—so your car doesn’t just stay protected, it stands out from the crowd.
In short, whether you want added durability or a custom look that turns heads at Cars & C0ffee, our team is here to make your vision a reality.

Premium, Effortless PPF Care
At Exclusive Paint Protection, we believe protecting your automotive investment should be as refined as the craftsmanship it preserves. That’s why we recommend pairing every LLumar Select Pro PPF application with Gtechniq HALO, and follow it with the PPF & Vinyl Maintenance Kit—a complete regimen streamlined by science, not guesswork.
Every element—from the hydrophobic seal to the soft microfiber tools—works in harmony to maintain your vehicle’s engineering excellence, day in and day out.
Lifespan of Paint Protection Film: What to Expect
One of the most common questions discerning owners ask is:
“How long will my Paint Protection Film truly last?”
The answer: when you choose LLumar Platinum PPF, applied by SelectPro dealers, and follow a proper care regimen, you’re investing in protection that will last well beyond the warranty period. This premium film is warranted for 10 years — and with professional installation, a Gtechniq HALO upgrade, and proper upkeep, its actual lifespan can exceed that benchmark by many years.
While lesser films can dull or discolor prematurely, LLumar Platinum PPF is engineered for optical clarity, resilience, and long-term performance that continues to protect and enhance your vehicle far past its official warranty.
What Influences Longevity
1. Film Quality
Not all films are created equal. LLumar Platinum PPF offers superior self-healing, UV resistance, and protection from yellowing, cracking, or peeling.
2. Protective Coating at Installation
We strongly recommend pairing your PPF with Gtechniq HALO Flexible Film Coating at installation. HALO chemically bonds to the film, boosting hydrophobic properties, resisting environmental contamination, and making maintenance even easier.
3. Environmental Exposure
Garage-kept vehicles naturally experience less UV and weather stress. For vehicles regularly exposed to harsh sun, road salt, or debris, proper cleaning and protection measures help maintain film integrity for well beyond the 10-year mark.
4. Maintenance Habits
Regular hand washing with Gtechniq W1 G-Wash, prompt removal of contaminants, and periodic application of Gtechniq C2 Ceramic Sealant are key to extending film life past its warranty.
5. Driving Conditions
Light city driving will put less strain on the film than regular long-distance highway travel or unpaved roads — but even in demanding conditions, proper care ensures lasting performance.
The Bottom Line
With LLumar Platinum PPF, applied by SelectPro dealers, enhanced with Gtechniq HALO, and maintained using the Gtechniq PPF & Vinyl Maintenance Kit, your film won’t just meet its 10-year warranty — it will often deliver many additional years of service while preserving your vehicle’s factory finish and resale value.
When installed and cared for to our standards, your PPF is not just a decade-long solution — it’s a long-term preservation strategy for your automotive investment.
The customer satisfaction business.
