When it comes to Paint Protection Film (PPF) for your Tesla, many owners focus on front or full-body coverage. However, you can protect high-impact areas without investing a lot of time and money, and we’re here to help you do just that. At TESBROS, we focus on helping Tesla owners protect their ride in the comfort of their own garage with DIY PPF kits. We offer everything from glovebox PPF to full body PPF – But with all those options, it begs the question: What coverage do you need for your lifestyle and driving habits? Let’s get into it.
What is PPF?
PPF acts as a second layer on your car’s paint, shielding it from road debris, scratches, bird droppings, UV rays, and other potential damage. While it can be a significant investment in terms of time, energy, and money, once installed, it can last up to 10 years.
If you’re not ready to commit to a full-body or front PPF, smaller DIY kits are available to protect high-impact areas that are prone to damage. These kits are perfect for those looking to test PPF without diving into a full-scale project just yet.
The Importance of High-Traffic Areas
Here are a few common high-traffic areas on a Tesla that can benefit from PPF protection. Destiny installs these in the video above if you want to see how that works too.
- Rear Trunk Ledge: The trunk area is often overlooked but can easily get scratched or chipped due to loading and unloading items like groceries, strollers, and luggage. By applying PPF, you create a barrier that keeps the paint protected.
- Interior Door Kickers: Another high-impact area is actually inside the car – particularly the door kickers. Passengers, especially children, can easily scuff the door panels when getting in and out of the vehicle. A PPF kit acts as a shield, maintaining the interior’s pristine look.
- Door Sills: Door sills take a lot of wear and tear from foot traffic. Without PPF, these areas are prone to scratches, dirt accumulation, and stains. With PPF installed, it becomes easier to clean and maintain.
- Door Handle Area: Scratches often appear around the door handles from fingernails, keys, or rings. A PPF kit for this area offers an easy way to keep the paint around your handles looking new.
DIY Kits: Affordable, Easy, and Pre-Cut
Our PPF DIY kits come pre-cut, so no additional cutting is required during installation. We use high-quality Avery Dennison PPF, which lasts up to 10 years. Along with the PPF, our kits include a squeegee, slip solution, bottles and step-by-step instructional videos to guide you through the process.
We also offer U.S.-based support, so if you run into any issues or need replacements, you can reach out to us for help. We want to ensure you have a seamless installation experience and feel confident about your purchase.
Why Protecting High-Traffic Areas Matters
Protecting high-traffic areas on your Tesla isn’t just about aesthetics; it’s about preserving your vehicle’s value and ensuring it stays looking new. There are quite a few areas on your Tesla that are constantly exposed to potential damage, so a little effort now can save you a lot of hassle and expense later.
Start Small
If you’re considering a full-body or front PPF kit but are hesitant about the cost or effort, start with one of our smaller high-impact area kits like the ones mentioned above. It’s a great way to test if PPF is right for you and if you enjoy the DIY process before committing to a larger project. Once you gain that confidence, work your way up to the bigger kits.
