LLumar Paint Protection Film (PPF) for Luxury Trucks & SUVs in Charlotte and the Lake Norman Region
Paint Protection Film (PPF) — often called a “clear bra” — is a virtually invisible, ultra-durable urethane layer designed to preserve the beauty and integrity of your luxury SUV or truck. Professionally applied, LLumar PPF blends seamlessly with your vehicle’s finish while delivering long-lasting defense against the road, weather, and time.
Key Benefits of PPF for Trucks & SUVs:
- ✓ Shields against rock and gravel impact
- ✓ Self-heals minor scratches and scuffs
- ✓ Provides a barrier against chemical etching
- ✓ Resists staining from harsh chemicals
- ✓ Prevents paint oxidation
- ✓ Guards clear coat against damage from hard water
- ✓ Aids in preserving your vehicle’s resale value
- ✓ Offers a long-term solution (includes up to a 10-year warranty)

When it comes to protecting your luxury SUV or truck with Paint Protection Film, precision matters. In Charlotte and Lake Norman, discerning owners trust Exclusive Paint Protection for expert installation of LLumar PPF.
Our difference is experience. Since 1995, we’ve specialized exclusively in automotive protection—and we’ve proudly operated from the same Charlotte studio since 2007. This consistency reflects not only our craftsmanship and stability, but also the trust placed in us by luxury vehicle owners across the Carolinas. Every installation is performed with the same meticulous attention to detail you expect from your vehicle’s manufacturer, ensuring your SUV retains both its elegance and its value for years to come.
Ceramic Coating for Luxury SUVs & Premium Trucks in Charlotte and Lake Norman
Ceramic coating for SUVs and Pickup Trucks is far more than a surface treatment—it’s a cutting-edge liquid polymer engineered to bond at the molecular level with your vehicle’s factory paint. Once applied by our Gtechniq-accredited professionals, it forms a hardened, glass-like layer that delivers protection well beyond traditional waxes or sealants.
This invisible shield defends your SUV or truck against Charlotte’s relentless sun, Lake Norman’s heavy pollen, and the inevitable road debris from I-77 and I-485. Hydrophobic by nature, it repels water, dirt, and contaminants while adding a deep, mirror-like gloss that enhances the elegance of every luxury finish.
The result is lasting resilience, reduced maintenance, and a vehicle that continues to command attention—whether you’re navigating Ballantyne’s streets, Huntersville’s lakefront roads, or the avenues of Uptown Charlotte.
Key Benefits of Ceramic Coating for Trucks & SUVs:
- ✓ Hydrophobic properties keep your vehicle cleaner for longer
- ✓ Easier cleaning due to its hydrophobic nature
- ✓ Offers a shield against chemical etching
- ✓ Resistant to stains from harsh chemicals
- ✓ Prevents paint oxidation
- ✓ Protects the clear coat from damage caused by hard water
- ✓ Contributes to maintaining your vehicle’s resale value
- ✓ Provides a long-lasting solution (comes with up to a 7-year warranty)
- ✓ Ensures your vehicle looks impressive in your daily life
Ceramic coating for SUVs and pickup trucks isn’t just another service—it’s a craft that demands precision, expertise, and the right environment. At Exclusive Paint Protection, our Gtechniq-accredited specialists perform every installation inside our purpose-built studios in Charlotte and Huntersville, ensuring flawless application and maximum performance.
The result is more than protection—it’s preservation of the depth, gloss, and elegance that define your vehicle. That’s why owners of Range Rover, Porsche Cayenne, Cadillac Escalade, BMW X7, and Mercedes-Benz G-Class from Charlotte, Lake Norman, Lake Wylie, and Concord trust us with their most prized vehicles. When it comes to preserving your luxury SUV or premium truck, nothing compares to the precision and reputation of Exclusive Paint Protection.

Paint Protection Film (PPF) FAQs
How does PPF compare to ceramic coating?
Paint Protection Film (PPF) offers physical protection against chips, scratches, and road debris, while ceramic coatings provide chemical resistance and enhance gloss. Many clients choose both: PPF for high-impact areas (such as front bumpers and hoods) and ceramic coating for the entire vehicle.
How long does PPF last?
Premium films, such as LLumar and XPEL™ , are warrantied for 10 years, with longevity that exceeds the warranty period. They feature self-healing properties that allow light scratches to disappear with heat, keeping your paint looking newer for longer.
What does the installation process involve?
Your vehicle’s panels are carefully cleaned, measured, and fitted with precision-cut film. A liquid solution is used during application to allow adjustment before the film is locked into place. Proper installation ensures the film is virtually invisible.
What areas of the vehicle are most commonly protected?
High-impact zones, such as front bumpers, hoods, side mirrors, and rocker panels, are the most common. Some clients also opt for full-body wraps for comprehensive protection.
Should I apply ceramic coating over PPF?
Yes — ceramic coating can be layered over PPF to add extra gloss, hydrophobicity, and easier cleaning. The two products complement each other perfectly.
Ceramic Coating FAQs
How long does Gtechniq Crystal Serum Ultra last?
Crystal Serum Ultra is Gtechniq’s flagship ceramic coating, backed by a 9-year guarantee when professionally applied. It provides unmatched gloss, hydrophobic performance, and chemical resistance, making it ideal for luxury SUVs and premium trucks that demand long-term protection.
What should I know about warranty and aftercare?
A professional installer will always explain what’s covered under warranty and how to maintain your coating properly. While ceramic coatings are designed to simplify upkeep, proper washing techniques and occasional inspection are essential for preserving gloss and protection throughout the full warranty period.
What does the ceramic coating application process involve?
The process begins with meticulous surface preparation and paint correction to remove imperfections. Then, the coating is applied panel by panel for even coverage, followed by curing under controlled conditions. Most applications take 1–2 days, depending on the size and preparation requirements of your vehicle.
What surfaces are not ideal for ceramic coating?
Ceramic coatings are specifically designed for use on painted surfaces. They’re not recommended for matte finishes (unless a matte-specific formula is used), unpainted plastics or rubber, heavily oxidized paint, or fabric convertible tops.
What credentials should I look for in a ceramic coating installer?
Experience, training, and product certification matter. Look for an installer certified by top brands, such as Gtechniq, backed by a strong portfolio of work and customer testimonials.
Window Tint FAQs
What makes LLumar FormulaOne Stratos window tint special?
FormulaOne® Stratos™ is a nano-ceramic tint engineered with Hybrid-Matrix technology for maximum comfort and durability. It offers premium aesthetics, added privacy, and superior performance compared to standard dyed or metallic films.
What does “Selective IR Rejection” mean?
Stratos is engineered to block up to 97% of infrared (IR) heat while remaining compliant with North Carolina state tint laws. This means your SUV or truck stays cooler, your interior is protected, and passengers enjoy greater comfort without compromising visibility to a darker level than legally allowed.
Is window tinting just for looks?
No. Beyond style, premium tints block more than 99% of harmful UV rays, reduce glare, improve cabin comfort, and help hold shattered glass together for added safety.
Will ceramic or IR tint affect my electronics?
Unlike metallic films, Stratos’ nano-ceramic construction will not interfere with cell phones, GPS, or satellite radio. You’ll enjoy all the benefits of advanced tint without compromising connectivity.
What warranty comes with FormulaOne Stratos?
Stratos is backed by a transferable lifetime limited warranty when installed by a LLumar SelectPro™ dealer. That means your investment is protected for as long as you own your vehicle — and even if ownership changes.
Why Choose Exclusive Paint Protection for Window Tint?
