Tesla Paint Protection in Delray Beach: Ceramic Coating vs. PPF for Model 3, Y, S, and X

Just took delivery of a Tesla in Delray Beach or Palm Beach County? Protecting that fresh paint is a smart move. Two top options dominate: paint protection film (PPF) and ceramic coating. They do different jobs; often the best setup is both. Plus, we offer ArtDeShine graphene coatings, vinyl wraps, paintless dent repair (PDR), wheel repair/sales, and performance parts and accessories to dial in your build.

Quick Definitions

PPF: Clear, self-healing urethane film that absorbs rock chips, sand rash, love bugs, and scuffs. Nearly invisible when professionally installed.

Ceramic Coating: A bonded layer that boosts gloss and hydrophobics for faster washes and UV/chemical resistance. We install XPEL Fusion and ArtDeShine graphene coatings.

Vinyl Wrap: Full-color or custom designs to change your Tesla’s look without paint. Protects clearcoat; removable.

PDR: Paintless dent repair for door dings and minor dents with no repainting—keeps factory finish intact.

Why Tesla Owners in South Florida Care

I-95/Turnpike debris and coastal weather are tough on front ends, rockers, wheels, and glass.

UV, salt air, and sudden showers demand easy-clean protection and durable finishes.

Many owners add style/performance: vinyl wraps, wheel upgrades, and aero/performance parts.

What Each Protects Best

PPF: Rock chips, sandblasting, bug acids, light scuffs; self-heals with heat.

Ceramic (XPEL Fusion & ArtDeShine Graphene): UV fade, oxidation, chemical etching, micro-marring; deep gloss and slickness for easier washes.

ArtDeShine graphene excels at slickness and water-spot resistance.

Vinyl Wrap: Style + light abrasion protection; ideal for color changes and branding.

PDR: Removes small dents/dings without paint, preserving resale value.
