XPEL Paint Protection Film shields your paint from rock chips, scratches and Arizona’s harsh sun. Trusted by Tucson and Sierra Vista drivers for expert clear bra installation.
Searching for car paint protection near me? The Specialists has been installing high-performance films for nearly 50 years—from precision window tint to advanced XPEL Paint Protection Film (PPF). That decades-long experience means we’ve perfected our craft, delivering seamless, nearly invisible installations that protect your paint from Arizona’s harsh sun, rock chips, and road debris.
Visit us at our Speedway Blvd, Fairview Ave, or Sierra Vista locations for certified XPEL PPF installation.
Paint Protection Film (PPF), or clear bra, is a nearly invisible urethane layer that protects against rock chips, scratches, and Arizona’s harsh UV rays. Unlike wax or sealants, it forms a self-healing barrier that keeps your paint looking new and helps maintain resale value. Here’s why Arizona drivers choose it:
XPEL PPF creates a tough, impact-absorbing layer that shields high-impact areas from rock chips, gravel & road debris—helping you avoid costly paint repairs.
XPEL’s self-healing topcoat erases light scratches and swirl marks with heat or sunlight—no buffing, polishing, or special products needed.
Professionally installed PPF is virtually invisible and precision-cut to your vehicle’s curves. Choose gloss or matte for protection that enhances your car’s look without changing its design.
Arizona sun is no joke—PPF blocks UV rays that cause fading, oxidation, and discoloration. It also shields against bird droppings, bug splatter, acid rain, and tree sap.
PPF’s slick surface repels dust, dirt, and water, so your car stays cleaner longer. It’s hand-wash friendly and needs no special products.
PPF keeps your factory paint in top condition, helping preserve resale value. It’s a smart investment whether you plan to keep your car for years or sell it later.
Not all paint protection films are created equal. After testing multiple brands—including 3M and STEK—we choose XPEL for its clarity, self-healing technology, and proven long-term durability. Here’s how it compares:
| Feature | XPEL Ultimate Plus / Stealth | 3M Scotchgard Pro | STEK DynoShield |
|---|---|---|---|
| Clarity & Gloss | Crystal clear, high-gloss finish | Good clarity, more orange peel | High gloss, hydrophobic coating |
| Self-Healing | Instant with heat; engineered topcoat | Heat-activated, slower healing | Comparable to XPEL |
| Durability | 10-year manufacturer warranty | 7-year warranty | 7–10 years |
| UV & Yellowing Resistance | Excellent, non-yellowing TPU | Good, prone to slight yellowing | Good UV resistance |
| Matte/Satin Option | Yes – XPEL Stealth | Limited availability | Yes |
| Price Range | Premium – proven long-term performance | Mid-range | Similar to XPEL |
We choose XPEL for nearly every vehicle because it consistently delivers the highest clarity, self-healing technology and long-term protection—backed by a 10-year transferable warranty and trusted by luxury automakers worldwide.

I cannot speak more highly of The Specialists. I’ve been using them for decades. I’m old enough to remember getting my first cassette deck from them. About four years ago, I had a BMW which didn’t support Car Play. Jerry at The Specialists helped me with an after market system. When it was stumbling with the BMW software, Jerry took great lengths to make sure it was working. (The problem was that BMW’s software can be problematic, so it was not anything Specialists did wrong.) He even gave me his cell number so I could text him for help. I recently upgraded to a new car and wanted to take care of it with PPF and tinting. The quality of service at The Specialists continues to be unbeatable. Cisco did a great job setting me up, and then Christian Salgado, the PPF Manager, was absolutely awesome. I’m a retired high school teacher, and Christian was my student. I couldn’t be more proud of him. He does the work himself, and on pickup, he walked me through every single thing that had been done. When I spotted a small bubble, he pulled out a needle to extract the air on the spot. It was so clear that he loves both his job and where he does it. In two weeks, part of the package means that they will bring me back for another once over, to check every single detail to make sure it’s 100% right. He also gave me his cell number to contact with any questions. The product comes with a ten year warranty, and he explained in great detail what that means and how to access my benefits if any problem were to surface. With both Christian and Jerry, I never felt that they were rushing or high-pressuring me. I shared that with Christian and he told me that this comes from the top down: we will do things right, we don’t pressure, and we take care of our customers. His vibe, and that of all of the employees I encountered, was that this makes The Specialists a truly great place to work: people who love and excel at what they do, and don’t feel pressure to treat customers as tools to be pressured and upsold. I know people often say “I rarely write reviews,” but … it’s true for me. I rarely write reviews. Knowing how much it can help a business and great people working hard, I had to give a shout out to The Specialists. Many thanks to Christian and everyone there!
Super professional install of Paint Protection Film by some truly dedicated professionals. It's no wonder they are called the 'Specialists.' Thanks go to Johnny, Christian, David, and Aaron for their hard work. I'll be back!
Schedule some warranty work from tinted windows I had 20 and 12 years ago. They did a fantastic job of removing the old film and installing the new film. Left the interior very clean.
This is the best place in town to get Window Tints and ceramic PPF. They do have awesome products, and quality of jobs are above standard. After all, special thanks to Christian and David taking good care both my wife and my vehicles. They truly warranty minor ware out of PPF over the time until met my high standard.
The team over at the Specialist have handled multiple vehicles of mine both personally and professionally. The latest vehicle that the did both PPF and window window tint on I attached the video here, impeccable work they are craftsman with their trade and aim to please Johnny over the Specialist is who I personally deal with and he is more than knowledgeable, hard working, honest, and aims to please you the client with every little detail! Without a doubt, would not recommend another shop in town! Top-notch!
I had paint protection film applied at the Specialists on the auto mall this past week. This was my second experience with this shop and I couldn't be happier. This latest application was for a full front-end protection for my new 4runner. Simply put, Christian Salgado, the application professional, did an amazing job. The work was completed with great attention to detail. Christian was more than interested in providing a finished result that exceeded my exception and I must admit to being a bit of a perfectionist. Johnny Diaz, the store manager, was polite and professional and went above and beyond to assure my complete satisfaction. The cost was very reasonable considering the level of time, effort and materials involved.
