How much is PPF for the front, or the whole car?
Coverage is nearly the whole spread, and every level of it is sold as "PPF". These are the packages shops name and price themselves.
| Coverage | Typical range | Median | Published by |
|---|---|---|---|
| Partial front | $1,000–$1,600 | $1,195 | 13 detailers |
| Full front | $1,850–$2,500 | $2,100 | 18 detailers |
| Full body | $5,999–$7,000 | $6,000 | 14 detailers |
Read from the package names shops publish. A quote that just says "PPF" is not comparable to one of these until you ask which row it sits in.
Compare paint protection film quotes
A panel list makes film quotes comparable; the word PPF alone does not.
| Part of the job | Confirm the scope | Possible difference |
|---|---|---|
| Partial front | Selected high-impact areas | Ask whether the hood and fenders are partly covered. |
| Full front | Named front panels | Confirm bumper, full hood, fenders and mirrors individually. |
| Full body | Agreed exterior panels | Check exclusions, edges, film finish and any coating add-on. |
Questions to ask before booking
- Which film and finish are included?
- How will existing chips and exposed edges be handled?
- What does the film warranty cover and who handles a claim?
Send each provider the same vehicle details and photos. Ask for approval before extra work begins, and keep a written copy of the agreed package.
