Questions people ask
Will paint protection film turn yellow over time?
No. Premium XPEL PPF at Apex Auto Shield uses advanced additives designed to resist yellowing and fading even in high-sun Texas conditions. The film retains its clarity over 5-10+ years with proper maintenance. Store-bought films may yellow, but professional-grade PPF does not.
Is paint correction necessary before ceramic coating?
Yes, paint correction prepares the surface for optimal ceramic coating adhesion and appearance. Stage 1 removes 50%+ of defects and is often sufficient for newer vehicles. Stage 2 or 3 removes 75-90%+ of defects (swirls, scratches, oxidation) and is recommended before premium ceramic or PPF application. Apex Auto Shield assesses your paint condition to recommend the right level.
How much does it cost to detail the interior and exterior?
Full exterior detail starts at $129; express detail (interior + exterior) is $149; full interior detail starts at $250. Specialized services like headlight restoration ($99) and engine detailing ($79) are available as add-ons.
