For Your Vehicle
Protect what
you drive.
APAR’s technicians protect and recondition personal vehicles with the same materials and methods they use for 260+ dealer locations. PPF, ceramic coating, window tint, detailing, and wheel repair.
What We Offer
Six services.
One trusted company.
Paint Protection Film
Military-grade film. Invisible. Self-healing.
TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane) film — not vinyl, not paint — applied to high-impact zones: hood, fenders, mirrors, door edges, and rocker panels. Minor scratches self-heal at temperatures above 100°F (ambient heat or warm water). Premium film carries a 10-year manufacturer warranty. When installed correctly, the film is virtually invisible with no orange peel and no yellowing.
Your paint stays factory-perfect indefinitely.

Ceramic Coating
Nano-ceramic bond. Molecular-level protection.
A nano-ceramic compound bonds to your clear coat at a molecular level — not a wax, not a sealant. Premium coatings achieve a 9H hardness rating (pencil hardness scale) and a contact angle above 100°, meaning water beads and sheets off rather than sitting on the surface. Protects against UV oxidation, chemical etching, and light surface contamination. Entry-level coatings last 2 to 5 years; professional-grade coatings last 7 to 10 years.
Washes take minutes. The coat lasts years.

Window Tinting
3M and Llumar. 60% heat rejection.
3M and Llumar ceramic films installed to state-legal VLT specs. Blocks up to 60% of solar heat, 99% of UV rays, and reduces glare.
Cooler interior. No fading. Legal everywhere.

FAQ
Common questions
How long does paint protection film installation take?
A full-car PPF installation takes 1 to 3 days depending on vehicle size and coverage zone. Partial coverage (front bumper, hood, mirrors) is typically completed in 4 to 6 hours. The film requires 24 to 48 hours of cure time before washing.
Is ceramic coating worth it?
For vehicles driven regularly, yes. A professional ceramic coating eliminates the need for waxing, resists chemical etching from bird droppings and tree sap, and maintains paint gloss significantly longer than sealants. Premium coatings carry 7 to 10 year durability when maintained correctly. The upfront cost is offset by reduced detailing frequency over the vehicle's life.
How long does window tint installation take?
Window tint on a standard sedan takes 2 to 4 hours. Larger vehicles (SUVs, trucks) are typically 3 to 5 hours. Cure time is 3 to 5 days — avoid rolling windows down during that window.
What is the difference between PPF and ceramic coating?
PPF is a physical film that absorbs impact and prevents chips, scratches, and road debris damage. Ceramic coating is a chemical bond that protects the surface from environmental contamination, UV, and light abrasion. They serve different purposes and are often applied together: PPF on high-impact zones, ceramic coating over the full vehicle.
Does APAR offer detailing before coating or film installation?
Yes. A paint decontamination wash and paint correction step is standard before any PPF or ceramic coating application. Coating over contaminated or scratched paint locks the defects in. APAR's process addresses the surface before any protective product goes on.
