Shield Your Vehicle with Paint Protection Film (PPF) by Detailist
Your car isn’t just transportation—it’s a valuable part of your lifestyle and a significant investment. Protecting it from the hazards of the road is essential, and Paint Protection Film (PPF) is the ultimate armor to keep it looking its best.
At Detailist, we specialize in precision-installed PPF that creates an invisible barrier between your vehicle’s finish and the elements. Unlike coatings, which provide a hardened surface layer, PPF is a flexible yet durable film that physically absorbs impacts, prevents scratches, and resists wear—all while maintaining your car’s stunning aesthetics.
WHY CHOOSE PPF?
PPF isn’t just protection—it’s a game-changer for keeping your car showroom-ready. Here’s why:
THE DETAILIST DIFFERENCE IN PPF INSTALLATION
Installing PPF is as much an art as it is science. At Detailist, we approach every project with meticulous care, using advanced techniques to deliver flawless, seamless coverage. Our precision cuts and proprietary application process ensure perfect alignment, free from bubbles or lifting edges.
HOW PPF COMPARES TO CERAMIC COATINGS
While both PPF and ceramic coatings protect your car, they excel in different ways:
For the ultimate protection, many of our clients combine PPF and ceramic coatings—securing the impact resistance of PPF with the hydrophobic and glossy benefits of a ceramic topcoat.
ENHANCE, PROTECT, PRESERVE
Whether you drive a daily commuter, a luxury sedan, or a show-stopping sports car, Paint Protection Film is your vehicle’s best defense against the wear and tear of the road.

"Excellent scratch removal and ceramic coating service. Curtis is very knowledgeable and prompt in his communication. I received multiple updates on the process and was very pleased with the final product. Would definitely recommend for those wanting to protect their investment."
"We moved to the area a couple of years ago and I just didn't want to have to drive to Bellingham to get my cars detailed. We have two Teslas and an older Tahoe. They have detailed all three cars and did an amazing job with each. The Tahoe is basically our dog mobile but our 16 year old drives it now so we needed to get all the dog smell and hair and stains out of the carpets. The Tahoe came back looking almost as new as the day I bought it. Our Tesla's both looked as though we just drove them off the show room floor. They were even somehow able to remove some minor scratches on the hood that I can no longer see. Process is easy. You just schedule your appointment, drop of your car and they will let you know when it's ready for pickup. Generally the same day which is nice. Prices are VERY reasonable for the amount of work they do and I will not use any other place because they are just THAT good. If you're a sports vehicle or collector they have all kinds of special packages for you as well. Check them out, you won't be disappointed! We are repeat customers for life. So glad I tried them."
"I found the Detailist through word of mouth from mutual friends who are very particular in their cars. I had bought a brand new Audi and needed some PPF and a great ceramic coating to protect it for years to come. Curtis is extremely knowledgeable and very open and communicative through the whole process of detailing your car. If there was any concerns over the process or the finished work we went over those areas and he immediately made notes and corrected any issues. Curtis did such a great job on my new car that I had brought him in a second car that had a lot of tree sap on it. He was able to get the sap off and polish it to almost new condition and made suggestions on how to maintain or prevent damage for next time. I wouldn’t take my cars anywhere else because at the Detailist I know it will be great every time"
"I initially called to inquire about a wash and wax for my 2013 Toyota FJ Cruiser. I ordered the vehicle new from the factory and consider it my “baby”. I’ve taken excellent care of my vehicle throughout its years and it has served me well. However, the past couple of years the paint has started to fade and appear to be oxidizing. I had a conversation with Curtis and he educated me on what exactly the best treatment for my paint was. I was apprehensive at first, but decided to go with the long term solution of a ceramic coating. With Curtis’ vast knowledge in the industry, he walked me through the extensive process and treatment. The result was better than I had anticipated. They had gone to the lengths of even removing the factory roof rack and working the paint underneath. My vehicle looks better now than it did the day of purchase. Curtis and his team do an amazing job and I highly recommend them if you want the best paint treatment and protection for your vehicle or boat."
"I have a high mileage Tesla that I turned over to Curtis for a ceramic coat. My wife and I are very happy with the results! We are picky people and despite its high mileage, we take very good care of our car. It now looks better than new. This has been confirmed by several Tesla owners that have asked us about the paint. Most recently one asked why our 2019 car with 150,000 miles looks better than his brand new car.
Working with The Detailist is a pleasure. Professional efficiency and good communication skills made us confident that our “baby” was in good hands and would be treated with respect.
We’ve put over 25,000 miles on the car in all kinds of conditions since Curtis did the work and it still looks great. Water beads up and falls off. I should also note that it tends to stay cleaner longer. Very impressed, very happy. I cannot recommend The Detailist enough!"
