Customers praised this PPF kit as a cost-effective alternative to professional installation, with "great customer service" and comprehensive training videos. The film quality is "forgiving during install" but shoppers noted it's challenging, requiring a full weekend, multiple people, and patience. "The hood panel is too big" and installation demands significant effort.

Arguably the greatest addition i've done to my Tesla/

Ever since I ordered my Tesla Model Y, I’ve been eager to protect it with PPF. The only obstacle was the cost, but that changed when I stumbled upon Drive Protected after seeing their product featured in a social media post. I’m also a person who relishes challenges, and I’ve heard that PPF is quite a tough job. However, after watching the incredibly informative training academy videos provided after purchasing, I gained complete confidence in the installation process. These videos are packed with valuable tips to prevent common installation issues such as air bubbles, heating edges, and stretching PPF. I highly recommend that any vehicle owner invest in Drive Protected PPF, and I will definitely be doing this install process again in the near future with my next Tesla.

Great work, Parker! And thank you so much for your review!!

Very good protection

I would like to say that i made the good choice for both quality film and training videos. I encourage people to try this full front Tesla Y end defence. Expect that will work hard and around a full weekend and this doesn't include hours for checking back and forth the videos . I would not try to install alone. The hood panel is too big as for fenders too. You will make bubble even with very good lighting and technique. Buy another pink squeegee and you will hate the front bumper in multiple part, there is a lot of force needed and 4 hands to maybe make it through. It is never easy as the expert in the videos but at the end i did it with the help of my wife and we are proud of the result. Thank you Drive Protected !

PPF can be DIY

Eric at Drive Protected has great customer service before and after the sale. He promptly answered my questions and helped me get the job done. The PPF seems pretty good, although I'm not a pro, its pretty forgiving during the install. As a DIYer, you may need to accept some imperfections, but remember all the money saved.

I'd recommend Drive Protected.

I had never really heard of PPF until I came across Drive Protected

I had never really heard of PPF until I came across Drive Protected on YouTube. I ordered my Tesla Model S in early 2022 and had several months before the car was delivered. During that time, I found myself watching many Tesla YouTubers talking about various ways to protect the exterior of the Tesla. Getting PPF on my Tesla seemed like a no-brainer. The cost of professionally installed PPF had given me a reason to determine the viability of doing the installation myself. I visited a local PPF shop before my new Tesla was delivered and was given a price quote of approximately $5,000 to install PPF on the front portion of my Tesla Model S. The PPF kit offered by Drive Protected was a fraction of that price. I enjoy learning new things and taking on projects that I have never done before, so I decided to invest in the pre-cut PPF offered by Drive Protected. I chose Drive Protected largely based on the video tutorials and the precision-cut PPF kits they provide. Ultimately, I was not disappointed with my decision to complete the PPF install myself!

Detailing shops are way to expensive!

I saw YouTube videos of Tesla owners talking about PPF and the shops they had it done at. The pros made it look simple enough.
I also saw Bearded Tesla Guy on YT do a front PPF install. Even though he also made it look easy to install, I was hesitant to do a pretty major DIY project like this.
My husband called a few shops and got some quotes. We were floored at how expensive they were to get it professionally done. We even cancelled our appointment last minute because we couldn't stomach how much it was going to cost us.
I went back to watching more DIY PPF videos and saw a recent video of Bearded Tesla Guy, featuring you in it, installing full PPF on his Model 3. I watched more videos from your shop, which gave me the confidence that I could maybe somehow pull this off. So we pulled the trigger and started with my car as the guinea pig!

FAQs

What brand of film do you sell?

Our PPF is our own brand of film called Defense+. We work directly with a Paint Protection Film manufacturer to develop this film.

What is the thickness of your Defense+ PPF?

Our Defense+ PPF is 8 mils thick

Does your Defense+ PPF have self-healing abilities?

Yes, our Defense+ PPF has self-healing abilities built into the top coat. Light scratches should disappear with heat from the sun, hair dryer or hot water.

Is your Defense+ PPF Hydrophobic?

Yes! Our Defense+ PPF has hydrophobic properties built into the top coat as well. The hydrophobic top coat allows for the PPF to be easier to clean due to its slick surface. Bug guts, bird droppings and road tar should clean off with ease if not left on the film for a long period of time.

Is the Defense+ Hydrophobic properties just like Ceramic Coating?

Very similar concept, but the hydrophobic properties do NOT replace a ceramic coating. The hydrophobic properties that are built into the film do NOT last as long as a ceramic coating does.

Can I apply a Ceramic Coating over top of Defense+ PPF?

Yes! Ceramic Coatings work hand in hand with PPF. Just make sure when applying the ceramic coating, you apply the coating a little bit thicker over top of the PPF as you do on the paint. The reason being is the PPF acts as a sponge and soaks up more coating.

How does your PPF compare to other top name brand films on the market?

Our Defense+ PPF stacks up against the very best films on the market. As professional installers of Paint Protection Film, we have worked with all the big-name brands of film on the market today. Our film is just as good. With the self healing abilities, hydrophobic top coat, strong adhesive, high gloss finish, and 10-year warranty, you WON'T be disappointed with Defense+ protecting your vehicle!

What is the warranty of Defense+?

Our Defense+ PPF is warrantied for 10 years against yellowing. If yellowing ever happens, just follow the instructions on the warranty card provided in your order, and we will get you taken care of and get your new Defense+ PPF out to you so you can keep driving protected.
