Installed full matte on my new 2026 Model 3

Installed full matte on my new 2026 Model 3. Wife and I worked on it in the evening the week after picking up the car. We live in a condo and did it in a commercial parkade which worked just as well. The academy videos were very helpful in figuring out what to do and I would definitely recommend it to others who are thinking about doing it themselves. Very happy with the outcome and glad to have a more unique Tesla Model 3 so I can easily spot it in parking lots!

Great product and customer service

Great product and customer service. I ordered the full matte ppf and watched their online videos that teach you how to apply to each section of your vehicle. The videos were super helpful during install. I did have to order one section again as I didnt like the way it looked after install (was totally on me and not the ppf itself). Drive protected was very responsive and quickly shipped me the remaining section I needed. Great overall experience!

One of the best PPF in the market

Eric at Drive Protected was very knowledgeable. He was able to answer all my questions promptly. The full matte ppf finish looks great on my car. It was so easy to install with all the training videos provided by Drive Protected. You can never go wrong with your purchase. I highly recommend Drive Protected if you want to protect your car and change the way it looks.

Jonathan, thank you so much for your review! Your support of Drive Protected is greatly appreciated!

By far the best wrap option out there.

I can’t mention enough how amazing this wrap is.

Ease of installation:
Wrapping it is way easier than you think. Why?
There are TONS of instructional videos in a step-by-step process to help you throughout the whole installation. Eric is also an incredible businessman and takes his time to give you some advice whenever needed. I throughly enjoyed the process. If you mistakenly mess up one panel, Drive Protected will send you a replacement film for free, you just have to pay the shipping.

The Wrap itself:
I went with the Matte PPF option to not only provide excellent production, but also a whole new look for my Model 3 Performance. My god does it ever look amazing! Completely transformed the look of my car. The wrap also has great hydrophobic effects, and basically feels like your car is ceramic coated afterwards. ITS SO EASY TO CLEAN. I love the peace of mind of knowing I’m protected, something I never experienced in the past.

I highly recommend Drive Protected and their DIY kits.

Thank you for the review, Nic! Your support of Drive Protected is very appreciated!

Best Wrap Ever

This matte PPF is the best way to make your Tesla stand out while also protecting the paint! It was one of the easiest DIY wraps I have done. This only took me a few days to complete with the help of the instructional videos. I would definitely do this again!

Thank you for your support, Brandon!

WOW!

I couldn't be happier with how my wrap turned out! The training academy started me off with confidence and we're flawless in detail. Definitely begin with the hood to build up confidence.

The front and rear bumbers are the trickiest. So take your time and make sure you have someone helping! All other panels you can knock out on your own however. Any frustrations you may have are easily overlooked by the money you're saving. I did mess up the bumpers the first time, but they sent me replacement pieces with zero hassle. Amazing customer service!

Full body install took me a weekend. Total hours were around 20 but I took my time. I love the wrap and it looks amazing. Like that my Stealth Gray doesn't look like everyone else's now that it's matte. I'll 100% purchase another wrap in the future.

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.
