The Importance of PPF for Vehicles
PPF acts as a transparent armor for your vehicle’s exterior, safeguarding it from scratches, chips, and stains that can mar its surface. This virtually invisible layer of protection helps maintain your vehicle’s value by preventing damage caused by rocks, road salt, insects, and even UV rays. By investing in PPF, you’re ensuring that your vehicle stays looking new for years to come, ultimately saving on potential costly repairs and repainting.
Benefits of PPF

Excellent customer service with quality install. David took his time to show me all products available and even demonstrated all possible finishes on my car prior to making my decision. Very detailed with their install process and provided excellent communication during installation.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

My experience at P1 was amazing to say the least. The attention to customer service and care for the customer’s car is, for lack of better explanation, second to none here. David’s consultation process is very thorough and really helps you narrow down your choices and you leave the shop with no 2nd thoughts. It’s been about two weeks since my install and it all adhered perfectly. I’m very happy with the quality and will recommend my friends and family to P1!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Outstanding experience at P1. David’s expertise shows—from recommending the right 3M Crystalline percentages to walking me through heat rejection and care. The install on our new Tesla Model Y Juniper is flawless (tight edges, no dust, no bubbles) and the interior ceramic coating looks great. Transparent pricing, careful prep, and on-time delivery. If you want quality work and detailed explanations, this is the spot. We’ve trusted G5 Tint Shop for years, so I was thrilled to find their sister store in OC run by David (formerly at G5)!

David and his group were extremely helpful. He explains how different styles of tint help reduce heat in your car. Does a pre inspection and gives you picture updates on how it comes out. I went with the 15% ceramic 3M. Extremely love it. Thank you for all your hard work!

Very nice and friendly from the moment, I walked in, not knowing anything about window tent. I was referred here by one of my commercial accounts. Alberto was a big help stepping out with different example of tent, shades to my window to show me the physical difference and taking his time to explain the waiting room was also very nice. I will definitely be recommending the shop.
