When comparing paint protection film, no two brands are alike. Each brand carrying different pros & cons, XPEL always stands above the rest when it comes to durability, longevity, gloss & clarity. We’ve tested all major brands of PPF out there and nothing compares to the clarity of XPEL.

Just like Porsche owners, we want the absolute best when it comes to the products we use. Many top brand PPF’s have a yellow-ish tint to them, usually caused by the natural color polyurethane and the adhesive produces. XPEL goes through tremendous R+D to make sure their film has virtually zero yellowing to its products.
How can a company focus on such a small detail such as making sure the film doesn’t have even .05% yellowing to it? XPEL is a $1.5B dollar company, the only other contender to this size is 3M. Now let’s do some backwards thinking here, 3M creates over 60,000 products: and although they have the funds necessary to R+D their PPF – it’s just not on the top of their priority list. XPEL on the other hand, only focus’ on automotive protection products and their DAP software. THAT’S IT. That right there is why XPEL reigns superior amongst a humongous aftermarket automotive niche.
They solely focus on delivering great PPF and great TINT. XPEL’s self-healing properties are clearly more effective than all other top brands out there, and their customer service is unparallel. All-in-all, XPEL PPF is the only option you should consider when protecting your new or used Porsche!
Porsche is renowned for holding their value compared to other luxury brands. Especially the 911 – we created this graph showing typical depreciation versus a car with XPEL PPF is installed. While each model Porsche will differ ever-so-slightly, we can visually see how protecting your car from new can greatly benefit the long-term value of your Porsche. When selling a 5+ year old car, new owners not only appreciate a car with PPF installed, but it also shows you cared about the car more than the average owner.

Clearly selling your Porsche to the next guy shouldn’t be the only reason why you protect your paint, even if you keep the car forever, the PPF will always retain its value and keep your Porsche looking new, forever. To answer the question “Is PPF worth it?”, we firmly believe investing in PPF is the absolute best decision you can make after purchasing your new Porsche.
No one likes rock chips, road rash or scratches, particularly Porsche owners. Rightfully so, when you spend $100k+ on anything you want to make sure it stays nice and new. Whether it’s a watch, the newest phone, a nice pair of shoes, or your favorite jacket – folks want to keep their nice things, nice! When you buy a new Porsche, the best time to PPF the paint is ASAP. My 2024 Cayenne had 1000 miles on it before we protected the paint with XPEL Stealth PPF and in that short 1000 miles, I already received a few little chips on the hood and front bumper. This was devastating because I thought “there’s no way it’ll get any chips in this short amount of time” but unfortunately that’s not the case. We very often protect pre-owned Porsches as well, it’s rare we see a car that we deem “too far gone” the point of protecting, but fortunately we can steer you in the right direction of getting panels resprayed, then protecting them afterwards.

We can coordinate enclosed transportation of your Porsche directly from the dealership, right to us. Or even better, if you buy a Porsche from Hunt Valley Porsche, we can install our XPEL PPF directly in the dealership! There’s no better feeling then driving your Porsche without worry. If you’re located in the Baltimore, Washington DC, or surrounding areas, look no further for a more experienced PPF shop who has a love and passion for all things Porsche.
