Stops chips
A bridge commute puts real damage into a front bumper. Film absorbs it.
Clear film for rock chips
Paint protection film
Self-healing urethane film on the panels that take the hits: front bumper, hood leading edge, mirrors and rocker panels.
01
The short version
Film is the only thing that actually stops a rock chip. Coatings are chemistry. Film is armor.
We pattern-cut the film on a plotter, then wrap the edges where the vehicle design allows so you do not see a visible line across the hood.
The Ravenel Bridge and the stretch of I-26 north of town do more damage to front ends than anything else in the county. Almost every film job we install starts there.

How we run it
01
Choose coverage
Partial front, full front, track pack or full body. We walk the car and show you where chips actually land.
02
Prep
Decontamination and a light polish, because film magnifies whatever is underneath it.
03
Install
Plotter-cut panels installed wet in a dust-controlled bay, squeegeed and edge-wrapped.
04
Cure
The film sits for 24 to 48 hours. Small moisture pockets clear on their own during this window.
05
Inspect
You come back at one week and we check every edge together.
03
Why it is worth doing properly
Three things customers notice within a week.
02
Self-healing
Light swirls in the film close up with sun or warm water.
03
Resale protection
Original paint under film photographs and inspects better at trade-in.
What moves the price
- Coverage level, from partial front to full body
- Complexity of the bumper and whether sensors need cutouts
- Whether you add a ceramic coating over the film
- Existing chips, which should be touched up before installation

From $385On a straight-on look, no. At an angle, you may see a very fine edge where the film ends on panels that cannot be wrapped.
No. Film goes on bare paint. A coating can go over the top of the film afterwards.
Sample warranty terms run ten years against yellowing, cracking and lifting. Real-world life in this climate is typically seven to ten.
