Paint Protection Film in Fort Lauderdale, FL

Paint Protection Film for Fort Lauderdale drivers, installed in Davie

We are not in Fort Lauderdale, and we say that first. The shop is in Davie, at 5150 SW 48th Way, Unit 614, a straight run west on I-595 from downtown: about fifteen minutes from Las Olas, and not much more from Victoria Park, Rio Vista, Flagler Village or Coral Ridge. Take the 595 to State Road 7, head south toward Griffin Road, and the Hard Rock is the landmark.

Fort Lauderdale is the strongest argument for paint protection film in Broward. Roughly 165 of the 300 miles of inland waterways in the metro sit inside the city, so salt air is the address, not a beach-day event. Then the car goes onto I-95 or Federal Highway and takes stone and sand at speed. Film is a clear urethane layer that absorbs the impact, heals light scratches in the sun, and keeps the salt off the clear coat.

We install Urban, warrantied for 10 years, and Ceramic Pro PPF, warrantied for the lifetime of the factory paint. Partial front starts at $899, Full Front at $1,799 with a Ceramic Pro Sport coating on the whole car included, Full Body at $4,990. Financing is 0% for 12 months, and the price for your exact car is in writing before anything starts.

From the 595 to keys back

Two to three days for a front end, about a week for a full body, and the car stays indoors from drop-off to pickup.

• Free inspection. Paint checked under lights with you there. Existing chips, swirls or salt etching get named, and you leave with a written price for your car.
• Salt and iron come off first. A Fort Lauderdale car carries more bonded contamination than an inland one. Iron remover, tar remover and clay before any film, because what gets sealed under urethane stays there.
• Hand installation in a closed bay. Each piece cut for your car, laid wet, squeegeed and heat-set, with edges wrapped around the panel so there is no exposed line to catch dirt.
• Cure, inspect, register. Film sets indoors, gets a final pass under light, and the install is logged with the manufacturer and reported to CARFAX against the VIN.

Salt, sand and the 95: what Fort Lauderdale does to a front end

Salt does not need the car to move. A car parked in Rio Vista or Harbor Beach is in salt air around the clock, and salt works on clear coat at the edges of chips first, which is how a small rock chip becomes a spreading blister. Film closes the chip off from the air. That is the quiet reason coastal cars keep their paint longer under PPF than inland cars do.

The loud reason is I-95. The stretch through Fort Lauderdale runs at speed with heavy truck volume, and the sand blown off the beach ends up on Federal Highway and A1A, where it gets thrown at the bumper by whatever is in front of you. Two lovebug flights a year finish the job, and their residue turns acidic within a day. Fifteen minutes on the 595 puts all of that under a layer of self-healing urethane, and if you need wheels while the car is here, Enterprise is a mile from the shop at our partner rate.
